Personally, I was disappointed that Ichigo and Renji got such a cheap power boost. If all they have to do to get stronger is eat some magic food, why don't they just do that repeatedly until they're strong enough to destroy the Vandenreich? And most of the chapter was "Yum yum yum, delicious food." I think we all understand that the food tasted good. This chapter could've fit much more in, instead it was mostly composed of two Shinigami slobbering over finger-foods (and soup). But, I liked the ending, and I'm actually excited for the next chapter, so I don't hate it too much, it's just disappointing. And I'm glad that Hikifune was made more in shape. She didn't have to be Rangiku's clone in terms of body-structure, but I'm glad the Soul King didn't promote someone so out of shape, above all other possibilities. Hopefully Ichigo doesn't forge a zanpakuto that instantly has bankai and is the strongest one ever to exist. 6.8/10. EDIT: I've been trying to be optimistic, but this is getting slightly disappointing to me. Although, I'm not nearly as disappointed as a lot of you are. This arc isn't my favorite, but I don't hate it either.
