I feel Gin actually was trying to HELP Rangiku. First, he insisted they go away to talk, not stay in the same place as Aizen, which would end up with her dying for sure. Second they only started talking because Rangiku struggled enough to get away from Gin, so we don't know if he actually was planning on doing anything to her. Lastly, and this is just me talking, but looking at the defeated Rangiku, I feel like she won't die. Last week I was already for her to die, but this week, she looks more incapacitated than mortally wounded. Then again, this entire argument is just my way of keeping the idea that Gin will end up being saved >.< Plus, I highly doubt that will be the end of the Gin-Rangiku storyline.

Rangiku and Kanonji cracked me up, as well as "I got it from Mr. Afro!" XD. But I think you missed an important part of the chapter. Keigo said "That guy's presence from before, he's getting nearer". Is it just me, or did Keigo just sense Aizen's reitsu? I'm thinking anout Ichigo before and immediately after he got his shinigami powers - He could see ghosts, etc., but he couldn't sense them. Am I overanalyzing that, or is there something there?

I got a little excited when Rangiku asked Gin why exactly he was working under Aizen, only to shot down with no answer. However, now that the topic has been raised in the manga itself, we're bound to get an answer here soon. I was a little mad after halfway through the chapter, it stayed on RKT, and I was dissapointed about not seeing Hollow Tensa, but the way it looks, next week will focus on them, and it built some good anticipation, at least for me. I'd give this chapter a pretty good score overall. Can't wait until next week =)
