Hello everyone. Brother and sisters one and all. Hiatus and much needed rest but...back. Wow! Well, the last two chapters "put together" make for good fodder. Speculations will be and have been off the charts as all of you well know. Yes, these guys are interesting and Ichigo has so major purpose in all of this. For sure. Here are a couple of random but focused thoughts:

Senshumaru resembles Nnoitra in resurrection form, no doubt. So when you discuss how Kubo may have ran out of ideas, perhaps you are correct...

The "glasses" guy from the ) 0 Squad looks like the alter ego/sidekick of Afro Samurai to add to the list already being formed...

As for Oushou or whatever his name is that appears to lead this group, tell him that Akuma wants his beads back or he is going to Metsu his ass...

Likewise, the "pompadour" guy is more Kenpachi-ish than the others but he also reminds me of the guy that first came to spy on Rukia and accused her of falling for Ichigo during the Grand Fisher OVA who fell asleep in the middle of the fight.

I believe that Isshin was on the seen back when the Gotei 13 was just called the divisions... Hope we can finally get to the bottom of Ichi's protagonist position in the story, the 'WHY?' of it all....

This grabbing Ichigo and taking him somewhere to explaing 'whatever' to him has become something of a thing huh? First Juhabach and now the Spirit King him/her/itself....

I would end the post with my usual word but the Vandenriech might steal that too....lolol
