A superior chapter compared to the last. I'll admit, while I liked the cliffhanger a lot, I feel as though it could have been pulled off a bit more smoothly, though it did an excellent job at teasing. I like the direction it's going in though. I suspected Jackie's power had to do with mud, but it turns out that it encompasses pretty much anything that makes them "dirty." It's a pretty original power, though I'm not overly impressed with it. At any rate, I liked Jackie's pep talk, mostly because this chapter showed that it was wholly unnecessary - Ichigo seems to have matured beyond needing to have his enemy lecture him on how to fight. He got a little cocky towards the end, but after everything he's been through, it's hard to doubt that he's right.
