The first dark figure looks like Renji, I can't figure out the second one (Maybe Byakuya? I can't tell), and the third is Rukia. The guy at the end fighting the gang is definitely Uryuu. His new hairstyle and glasses remind a little of Nanao <.< And no way Aizen is still in control. That would be the biggest troll in the history of all trolls.

Not that great of a chapter overall. Kind of boring, and the funny parts weren't too funny in my opinion. I thought for a second Ichigo and Isshin would finally have their talk about Isshin's past in the beginning when they were being serious, but that quickly faded. It looks like Ichigo is selling his strength and his time to the highest bidder, which kind of makes sense with what he can do.

Apparently, Ichigo got a real job and is now fired from it. The way the guy on the phone talked ("Jack-of-all-trades" shop), and seeing how Ichigo reacted, made me think it was Urahara who he was working for. Nothing really more to go on then that, but I have a feeling it was him.

Orihime's new look is pretty good. The part of her jumping out the window made me laugh a little, but not much. Her "problem" of not knowing her song seemed kind of pointless and annoying.

Then, some guy who Ichigo beat up (I recognize him, but can't remember his name at all...) went and whined to his dad, and wants him and his gang to beat Ichigo up for him. Uryuu steps in with his Nanao hairstyle and actually does good. Ichi races towards them, just as a mysterious figure steps out from the shadows! Seen it before, honestly. My bet is it's the new guy from last chapter. Whatever. Hopefully, next week will be better.

My Rating: 5/10
