I got a feeling its Komamura's grandfather, and looking by his scars, they may be shinigami inflicted. I spot a wee bit of SS history coming up.

I have a feeling Hisagi Shuhei and Kira both know Bankai. They seem like the strongest lieutenants.

Good review for a good chapter, just wish Ouetsu spoke a little more as to "why" the Asauchi bowed to Ichigo, even Ouetsu seemed slightly surprised and I think Renji is off to the next area perhaps?

Hopefully we will see the effects of the attack and bankai stealing on other characters next :P
