@ SuBash: was never implying that Äs is a zombie. Like that would make sense ;) I was commenting on that I also thought that Rukia usually gets to fight the really disturbing opponents.

About Äs surviving the breeze... guess if he was really frozen to -273.15K he would already be very dead and very shattered long before reaching that point.
