I find it pathetic that Chojiro got killed off without any significant time devoted to him. This chapter is the closet to character development for him really. The sad part is manga wise we didn't see what he shikai can do. To be honest I rather see Komamura, some one with way more character and plot development as well as his zan abilities shown, as well as being extremely loyal to old man Yama, die. His death would have had better impact, for the story and the fans since he probably has more than Chojiro. All this info about Chojiro could have been said by himself as a gloat speech as he defeats and enemy way into the arc but no, just kill him off and move on.

I am glad Kubo is killing off good guys but he is picking the wrong ones.
