Although I expressed skepticism for the previous chapter and Renji's power levels and the poor-exploitation of the Royal Guard training, I now am fully satisfied with the way this chapter went... Renji's "new" Bankai is awesome (although I am generally a huge fan of whip-like and long-ranged zanpakuto) and is actually consistent with the Zanpakuto's spirit...So good work there... I am also pleased with the "Eye-Ball Monk"... Naming everything or, rather, understanding the nature of everything and giving them proper names is absolutely amazing and considering how much important names are in Bleach (and in eastern cultures in general) makes him a very important character... What I want now is more background on the origins of Soul Society and the Gotei 13...I mean it is obvious that Ichibel and Nimaya have to be extremely old so where does this put them regarding Yamamoto and the first Gotei 13 (I am guessing they were a part of it)... This is the first time in a while now when I am interested in the Royal Guard and I want to know their story...
