Such a waste of a chapter glorifying Ichigo's arrival can only make me wonder even more how much Ichigo can be glorified over nothing - chapters ago agitated, helpless and not breaking crap with any slash, now the one guy who must "protect" everyone. Done too much already (at least two or three times during the Karakura/Deicide arc, even before actually coming up with something good) not to get annoying; thusly, I can't expect much to come. The arc has already progressed too fast for this to be the actual showdown; his mighty resolve could crack as soon as the next chapter, as it happened before; he might be left with Haschwald a bit, for some talk and some lectures and maybe some jumps and slashes before being overpowered (mirroring the fight with Gin).

Thanks Kubo for not letting that Domino guy finish his sentence, I'm so not annoyed already by how little "daten" we're getting for sure about all these Sternritter since you've bothered to assign them letters, nicks and particular powers (but then, what a surprise, you got bored).

Notes on Byakuya: nice of him to be hanging on, decent speech (though MangaStream shifted it towards something incredibly pompous), hard to understand why he's left there dying (cozy and safe from all the ruckus, aren't we, Unohana-san?), but whatever. The drawings are pretty werid, he looks still in one piece, but at the same time he's been splattered? Is he stuck there or just standing lifeless (how can he)? His left arm might have been severed from As Nodt's Senkei attack, but maybe I'm seeing it wrong.
