I agree. Mayuri and Szayel was just meant to be matched up for a fight, I can see the same happening with the staff guy. He seem to be just the kind of person who would appeal to Mayuri's interest.

As a side note - the way I see it, the "geh geh geh" laugh was a sign from Kubo to show that he is the same guy who took control of Jidanbô and used him to smash the Research and Development Institute. Although we only see his feet back then, I see the laugh as a proof that it's him.

Yachiru is one of the 3 characters we have seen in Bleach who's reiryoku is high enough to form a face when she's angry. She's small and child-like of personality, but I think we will get to see what she's made of in this arc. And I hope we get to see her Shikai. I hope to see some Stern Ritters facing her and underestimating her, and getting forced on the offensive when she cuts down some of them in a matter of seconds.
