Well we all knew this wasn't "the end," this is Bleach after all. The biggest shocker of the chapter for me was BG9 impaling Mareyo, I don't think anyone saw that coming. To be honest, I'm not sure if she's going to make it. She isn't a Shinigami or someone with riatsu, and BG9 pretty much said if he releases her, she will bleed to death. I hope she makes it, but with Suì-Fēng's attack, she may have unintentionally killed Mareyo. It would deeply change Ōmaeda's character and show that no one is safe in war, but it would be extremely sad.
