Very nice chapter. I literally laughed out loud when Ichigo made up a name for Zennosuke. Oh, Zennosuke, you are so lame, but we love you for it =3

Too bad Someone else beat me to the facepalm of doom joke. No kidding, I was thinking that exact same line when I saw it. Out of all the major fight scenes in all the animes I've seen, I've never seen someone get dragged away by their face. Very nice, very bad-ass move there, Kubo.

Ichigo's new look is nice as well. The chains up his arm look so sick. Dunno why he's got a glove on. Maybe it'll have something to do with his new powers, maybe it's just there for aesthetics, no clue. The only thing I don't like is the guard of his sword. I don't know if anyone else noticed it, but it's the same shape, just a lot bigger. It looks a little... off, at least to me.

Not too much else in this chapter, but it was a very nice set-up of things to come. After the travesty of ButterflAizen of three weeks ago, and the sadness of Gin's almost death (I was thinking he had died, now I'm thinking just very seriously injured), this was definately a great chapter. Good job, Kubo, and here's hoping to a bad-ass fight to come =D
