Sorry I didn't do a spoiler post earlier in the week, the spoilers were so vague and confusing, I didn't think there was much purpose. ^_^;;

I still don't have much to say about this chapter, uhm. I still adore Barragan and his monologues, even if no one else does. xD

bleachness is full of Barragan!hate this week. D: Oh well. I like him. And I doubt he's dead yet, either. Wounded, I could see, but completely dead? That would be too quick and easy. ~~Plus I wantz moar character development, harhar.~~

Also. Hacchi? is BADASS. I'm really becoming fond of him, lol. *pats*

I seem to be the only one not taking the ending conversation between Hacchi and Soifon at face value. I think there's more going on there. We didn't actually see the conversation, or know who brought it up first, or what the context is. So I guess we'll see, but... I don't think it's just Soifon being a jealous unthinking bitty. xD SS is officially allied with Urahara, even if they're not with the Vaizard. I don't know. I think she's smarter than that?

But what do I know?

Discussion Questions:
1) Does Orihime have the potential to do everything Hacchi is doing?

2) Wtf do you think is up with Soifon?

3) Are we going to continue with this battle, or skip around to the other battles? D'you think we're going back to HM soon?

1. Hacchi commented that Orihime's power is similar to his own, but I think her power isn't actually kido per se, so she would be unable to use those barrier incantations. She might be able to recreate the effects using her own particular powers once she's stronger, though? I guess we'll see.

2. She wants Yoruichi all to herself. Clearly Urahara has been cutting into their Alone Time. /not serious

3. I really want to go back to Hueco Mundo to see what Unohana is doing, except they still have to fight ~~Mr. Sliding Scale~~ Yammy.

Oh, and word on the Barragan appreciation. If nothing else, it's refreshing to have a character whose power is OLD AGE when Naruto is constantly going IF YOU ARE OLDER THAN TWENTY YOUR REMAINING LIFESPAN CAN BE COUNTED ON ONE HAND.
