Is it just me but does it seem like the last 3 chapters were rushed? Just seems odd that Kugo's reasoning for why he's the villain is quickly dismissed by Ichigo and his big reveal about the badge wasn't much of anything to Ichigo. I do agree that it appears like the end of the battle, but I'm hoping his whole hollow part of him plays a part to salvage the fight. Also, Ichigo in Shikai seemed pretty balanced with Kugo's full clad. But then they both go Bankai, and it looks like Ichigo is so far ahead of Kugo now. I don't know, I guess I'm just not too thrilled with the progression of this arc or the explanation for things.
