I agree God, it was a bit like the plot creeped a little then just took a break this chapter. Notice how Urahara, Isshin, and the unnamed Shinigami made no appearance? I'm really hoping getting his eyes messed up though will finally make Ichigo fight with some of the instinctive brutality that Hollow Ichigo displayed.
