Not a horrible chapter, but by no means a good one. I really don't want to write about it, so I'll keep it short. First off, I'd just like to say that I've been saying Ichigo had to go back to his inner world for the past month, which is one of the few predictions I've gotten right recently... Bitter sweet, yes.

Next, it's pretty obvious we didn't need another set-up chapter. Only two things happened: Keigo and Tatsuki waking up and Ichigo going to his inner world. About Keigo and Tatsuki, I really have no clue where Kubo's going with this. The best they can do is buy RKT about 3/10 of a milisecond of extra time. I'm sticking with my prediction that KarakuRaizer is gonna come back into play. Aizenfly will kneel before the all-powerful Raizer Beam!! [/Fail]

Ichigo entering his inner world holds great promise for things to come. I'm not gonna try to see into the future with this one. No way I'll be on the same planet with anything I could come up with...

As with last week, there was just a little tension between Gin and Aizenfly. He kinda just told Gin "Are you finished yet? I'd like to start my genocide now <.<". There is really something there, and I hope it doesn't end in Gin being Aizenpwned (I'm a huge Gin fanboy).

Lastly, I have an observation. Kubo said that after the current arc ending in the summer, there would be a short arc, then a much longer arc. The way Isshin told Ichigo his training would last three months kinda sounded like Kubo telling us that the next three months of manga releases would be Ichigo training. If that's true, could the next three months be considered the "short arc"? This is all assuming Kubo doesn't smash the three months together into like 4 issues. If that is the case, then please ignore this paragraph.
