@Nick- I agree with you on the mask thing. The new one hasn't lived up to the benchmark set by the previous one. Besides, the old one ROCKED. It definitely looked WAY more 'menacing' than the new one which plainly looks plain (lol). I was pretty sure his Second Hollow Form could give Cornflakes (Aizen) a run for his money and all Ichigo can do is fire a couple of Getsugas and then stare at Cornflakes transform while keeping his mouth perennially open. Ichigo pre-Ulquiorra-fight managed to limit to a stare or a grimace or something less Dumb.

Good to see Gin keep his cool with all that's going on, even offering Ichigo a nonreal recliner. Although Ichigo is the last person I'd expect to take a back seat, at least he'd do better not interfering with Hat'n'Clogs, Were-Cat and Daddy.

I'm now anticipatin' a Kira-Matsumoto team-up. So that'd make it 3 on 1 vs. gin just as it's 3 on 1 vs. Cornflakes. Gin's new move was vague but cool. What really screwed it up was the new mask gaping down at him. I hope Kubo's got plans for another mask which at least RESEMBLES the original one.
