I think Kubo made this chapter just for me(jk obviously) but he did kill Bambietta off(I hope) and did it in such a mysterious way. I wonder if it's related to one of their epithets or if all Sternritter can do it. I'm more inclined to think they absorbed her like Quilje absorbed Ayon.

But let's talk about Komamura aka one of my favorite characters now. I had an inkling that his Human Transformation technique would end before he could go for JB but I expected he would die once it did and I was wrong. But I like him so I'm glad he's still alive(even though him and Iba are on a suicide mission).

Iba hasn't really been developed as a character but his loyalty to his captain and his captain's wishes has really warmed me to him.

Sajin's grandfather dying was rather beautiful and it made a lot of sense as to why he's lived so long.

Renji and Rukia are making their way back to Soul Society and they have to do it before night? What makes nighttime so dangerous there? Maybe the abundance of darkness will help the Sternritter somehow. We shall see.
