One thing that bugged me about this chapter. As was saying that he/she/it (the article is still gender-neutral, though after seeing he/she/it uncloaked this chapter I think male is probably the most likely, considering his/her/its body structure) is lonely without Senbonzakura. But should he/she/it still have it?

The other Captains were able to take back their Bankai by using Kisuke's Shin'eiyaku to temporarily Hollowfy their Bankai (which made Daiguren Hyorinmaru look even cooler, just did nothing to alter the appearance of Jakuho Raikoben or Kokujo Tengen Myo'o - very disappoint), but Byakuya's still in Reiokyu. He hasn't been exposed to the Shin'eiyaku (as far as we know anyway), so how did As lose Senbonzakura?
