User blog comment:Godisme/Everything But The Rain/@comment-4431351-20130227170052

Loved this chapter. The intensity, the art, the use of rain, the flashback, all of this made this a really good chapter. My favorite part is without a doubt, the panel with Isshin standing left and Ichigo standing right. While Ichigo looks broken, depressed and weak, Isshin looks massif. You would not want to have trouble with that guy. The whole conversation between Ichigo and his dad was also quite intens, as was the conversation between him and Ikumo, although that served more as comic relief and to slow down the pace.

No real surprise here, except of course, Kurosaki being Masaki's last name, not Isshin's, practically conforming his Shiba heritage. I just hope two things: 1) Kubo, don't let Masaki and Ryuuken be direct family. Close friends I can live with, but NOT FAMILY. 2) Don't let Juhabach's last name be Kurosaki. That would be way to obvious. Surprise us a little there.

To conclude, I loved this week's chapter. Kubo did a terrific job. One wondering thought though, it would be interesting to see Uryu being affiliated with the Vandenreich. Now that would be one awesome betrayal.
