I thought it would be a meh chapter too, and I was right.

I am SO glad that Renji and Rukia are going to have some interaction with Ichigo, it's really needed at this point. But what is Byakuya planning in terms of Gerard? He and Hitsugaya are basically at their limits, and Gerard's being hyped up into something so powerful that even his hand is to be feared.

Glad Isshin and Ryuken are here. I'm thinking Ryuken will aid Uryu against Haschwalth while Isshin deals with Gerard in some way.
