Man, I'm sooo exhausted. Well, anyway, this chapter was a good change of pace, which is refreshing.

First we get Askin giving an update on the situation, then a small backstory of the Schutzstaffel, then we find Askin swiftly subduing Ichigo and friends, and then an explanation of Askin abilities (seriously, who cares if he explained them). Then Yoruichi decides to show up, and being Yoruchi, skips the introduction and just proceeds to wreck Askin right off the bat. Smart move, but then, you know....

This chapter was really good, however, I can't help but notice Kubo seems to be off-screening characters just so the focus can be on one or two people, which is questionable at best. In any case, I'm really looking forward to this fight between Yoruichi and Askin. Gerard I really couldn't care less about.
