I can't blame you. The chapter was pretty "meh" for me, and while I was a bit surprised that Kugo could use Getsuga Tensho, the ability itself isn't impressive unless a lot of power is put into it, in which Kugo only put enough power into the attack to just wound Ichigo. If Kugo's speed increases like Ichigo's own Bankai speed though, then there's something to worry about. But I think the significance of Kugo gaining Ichigo's powers is that he's actually a lot stronger than we originally pictured him to be, and would be a challenge to Ichigo as a result.

As for the Rukia Kido thing... yeah, I don't get that either. Being able to use Flash Step but not Kido seems weird to me. Not sure what else Rukia could do at this point, but I'll guess we'll see what's in store.

I'm satisfied that we got a glimpse of the Xcution's past, even though it was way too vague to piece together, but I'm hoping this means we'll get a better look at the Xcution's past and motivations in the future.
