Not going with the obvious song choice? That's daft, you punk

Average chapter which mostly dealt with facts we knew but the characters didn't. Kenpachi is big loud and strong, Gerard is bigger, louder, and stronger, blah blah blah.

What I want to know is what Gerard's true capabilities are. Overall, the order of the Schutzstaffel fights has seemed kind of random, what with their leader (sort of) being taken out second. You'd think a big bombast guy like Gerard would be taken out first, and right now the battle against him is kind of infuriating. He has a very stock power of regeneration and is tangling with a large portion of the remaining Shinigami forces with only his fists and a really big sword. Clearly there is something else to Gerard, and I really want to see it. What does being the heart of the Soul King mean for him? That's really the only thing keeping me interested in the fight so far, and I really hope Kubo doesn't fuck this last battle up.

In terms of Gerard's opponents, I've said this many times and I will continue saying it: I don't give a shit about Kenpachi, I especially don't give a shit about Toshiro. I give a shit about Shinji and what his Bankai is. This is the only Bankai other than Ichigo's new one that I want to see before the series is over. I wouldn't even care if Gerard killed Shinji afterward, just show us the Bankai.

The best part of the chapter was Byakuya pointing out Toshiro's obsession with height, that was golden. Also inb4 Ikkaku and Yumichika one-shot Gerard
