It was a bit odd that there was nothing "Ichigo special" despite being his "birthday" maybe last week's color spread was his pre-birthday present (both Ichigo AND Kubo are the same Zodiac than me. Sweet!). Happy Birthday Ichigo and Kyoraku (July 11)

As I said, I'm done trying to predict or speculate what's going in Gin's mind. I think I'll just let it flow and see where Kubo wants to take us. And pray that it's good.

Yes, the little fangirl inside me wanted some drama to happen, some GinxRangiku because I love the pairing, but Kubo has said that he doesn't want the story to turn into a romance, so I knew they weren't going to end up in a "kiss and make up" situation. But as Nick said, the fact that basically "nothing" happened was completely unexpected. Nothing in terms of well... He said they were gonna talk, but he just grabbed her to simply stab her. I have zillion ideas of why he did this but I'm done with Gin, I'll let him play with my mind and see what he decides to do in the end

@Soulslayer, there was no episode 280 last Wednesday/Tuesday depending on where you live, because there was episode 279. Episode 280 is programmed to come out next week.
