User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 587 - The Headless Star 6 (for real this time)/@comment-1268838-20140702215334

These Headless Star chapters have been on a roll. I honestly thought that the series would have ended last week, but it looks like I was mistaken. Indeed, for all we know, this could be the new Deicide.

It was nice to see the Karakura buddies interacting again, especially with Orihime and Chad's shenanigans. I kinda figured Ichigo would have the typical shounen "drag my friend back no matter what" mentality, but it's befitting of his personality. I had somehow forgotten that Urahara was already in Soul Society - he seems to be Ichigo's ticket back to the palace, but I think it's going to be a while before he goes. Urahara seems to say as much, anyway.

Bazz-B and Renji's interaction was pretty funny. It was nice to see more characterization for the former, as small as it may be. Burner Finger 4 looked appropriately badass, though I do wonder if Kubo is going through the numbers a little too quickly. I mean, his Burner Fingers aren't his only abilities, and I suppose using them just once isn't the end-be-all. Still, I wonder if Renji will break it to him that the thumb isn't a finger once he uses Burner Finger 5.

And Yhwach and company's trip seems to have taken a few seconds at most. A relatively smooth trip, all things considered. I honestly thought it would be a while before we see them again.

Also, I'm kind of waiting for the inevitable flashback that will interrupt the story at the least opportune moment possible. With the big bad upstairs and a couple of fights brewing down below, I wouldn't be surprised if Kubo turns back the pendulum again.
