Ikumi's got an interesting personality. I'll say that much. She actually reminds me a bit of both Kukaku and Yoruichi for some reason.

Yokochin's return was unexpected, but not entirely surprising. Since Ichigo no longer has to worry about Hollows and stuff like that, it's really not that surprising at all that some of his old enemies from before becoming a Substitute Shinigami would turn up. I do, however, like it that Uryu can actually hold his own in a hand-to-hand fight, even if it is with a bunch of thugs.

I'm actually still interested in the new guy, since we still don't know very much about him, and he obviously still has some interest in Ichigo.
