I also thought that was pretty much hypocritical that Ikkaku won't do the same for Kenpachi... But, I doubt Ikkaku and Sushigawara have the same kind of a story with Kenpachi and Tsukishima. Tsukishima's new ability is something I've thought about a while ago - if Ginjo said that everything has a soul, and it can 'remember' then why wouldn't it be affected by Tsukishima's Book of the End? I'm just glad Kubo actually did something with the information Ginjo gave at the beginning of the arc and I think it's nice that not all the battles' outcomes will be as expected as Kenpachi vs. Giriko.

Anyway, it seems like Bleach will have a lead color page next week so I guess the plot will be back focusing only on Byakuya's battle or on Ichigo's and Ishida's battle.
