This chapter finally shed light on something that I'm sure all of us had be wondering since we first saw Captain Komamura unmasked: why was he the only individual in Soul Society that was animal in appearance.

Now it finally is eluded upon; but, daaaaaaamn. Looks like we're in for one heck of a top notch fight with him transformed and his bankai transformed.
