I agree with you captains in this arc should be fighting allot harder to fight off these new enemies, but i disagree this chapter was great. it's funny how everybody  was complaining how bleach moved so slow and now people are complaining bleach is moving way too fast. battles in war can last for days or they can last only for a few hours. the reason i like the pacing of this arc so far is because most surprise attacks happen really quick and usually allot of people die from them. I am sure kubo is going to slow down the manga because we are going to need time to get know the characters from the royal guard. Kubo needed something like this too happen to explain why now the royal guards are showing up and to show the fans that this arc is going to be different than any other ark he has done before. I happy captains are dieing because you get more character development with a smaller cast.
