Awesome! Rukia is back and ready to rock as it seems! I think this was a pretty decent chapter, nothing major, but a good intro for what is to come. With Nanana spying on Renji, I kinda started wondering as to why Renji wasn't able to sense the presence of Nanana (and I guess why Rukia couldn't sense Äs Nödt at first). Perhaps it has something to do with the Wandenreich dimension which invaded Soul Society?! (Lol, the Standard Model pops up on my mind right now, but that aside ;)

What I really like about this era is that it became so apparent that the characters really grew with the story: it has all become so mature (and dark, for that matter). Renji for example, has grown a lot in strength, but remains the goof he has always been. The only little point I have for this chapter is that it bugged me a bit that Rukia is flat out talking while observing the (hostile) battle field (as indicated by the comic balloons). Rukia is known for being a thinker who often keeps things inside.
