Dosen't really make sense how/why Toshiro has to age himself in order for his Bankai to reach it's full potential. Thought there was going to be a name change and the design was rather plain and boring, was expecting something a little better.. maybe different wings or more ice armour etc? Looks like Toshiro actually does have a different set of wings (on page 15 when he is in Gerard's grasp, unless I'm mistaken) but it wasn't even shown properly with detail in full glory.. *sigh* The 'freezing the four worlds' ability just reminded me of to Rukia's with her 4 second rule so I didn't like that as it was too similar. Would've been better if Toshiro used more techniques.. unless Gerard is still alive. However, Toshiro has become much stronger than before which I really liked. Kenpachi still kicking around was a good sight to see and Byakuya with his new and improved Senkei with like twice as many swords, as well as the secret technique was awesome too. Good chapter this week, although I hoped Toshiro's new Bankai looked a bit more interesting as well as showing more techniques. Really hate how Bleach chapters has been cut 2 pages shorter now.. Less pages = less of kubo's artwork to enjoy goddamnit. Lets hope he has more abilities up his sleeve in the next chapter. Don't really see why Byakuya would attemt to wound Gerard again seeing as he has survived being cut in half from the head down... Unless Toshiro freezes the wound again in order to stop his regeneration abilities. Oh yeah almost forgot, I find it stupid how Toshiro could "freeze" Hoffnung's abilities.. So does that mean if he freezes Katen Kyōkotsu, he can negate the games? Or if he freezes Kyōka Suigetsu, he can stop Aizen's hypnosis? I don't think so, but that's what it seems like with Hoffnung.. It wasn't like As Nodt's fear with the black substance that had to spread and make contact with the victim in order for the power to take place.. When that was frozen, As responded by using a technique that doesn't need physical contact (Tatarforas). Shouldn't the reflected damage still take place no matter what? Really don't see how Toshiro's ice can literally freeze an ability that isn't physical but, rather, an emotion..
