Well, this chapter kinda fullfilled perfectly my predictions, but yet I'm very frustated that things went out like this. Kubo said that Soul Society would have a utter and complete defeat, so I thought that this defeat would include both the pride and the strenght of SS being crushed, what would be represented by Byakuya and Kenpachi dying. Byakuya is gone and Kenpachi went for the king, so he is pretty much dead too. Now, I should be happy to be able to predict this, but Byakuya's death was so disgusting that completely my joy of knowing this would happen and winning 20 bucks from my friends Dying Captain Bets. I know he shouldn't get a glorified death as his death is supposed to (at least in my opinion) represent the fall of Soul Society's pride, but I really think his death could have been a lot less pitiful.
