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- Aizen said that Orihime's powers transcend those of a god. She's *got* to have oomph, but as the others say, no guts. >.<

2- For myself, I think Soifon would seriously want this, and feel Urahara was getting off easy.
However! Just taking this all at face value, I really wonder what the timeline is going to be like. What I mean is that Urahara is one of the major people who is connected with Aizen. If they are to have any sort of confrontation, and Soifon gets her wish, it would either have to happen 'today', or in a month, or Hacchi makes a loophole. (Somehow he didn't look too concerned when agreeing to this...) Also, we haven't seen Urahara since he sent Ichigo on his way. We've seen what he's been working on, but not the man. Hopefully this bet will at least bring him out of hiding ^^
Also, having the Tousen battle going on on top of this bet about Urahara makes me think that the end is getting closer, although of course it will still be a very long time coming. (Then again, that might just me be being optimistic... it could very well be much, much longer ^^)

In short, that bet made my mind go on overdrive thinking of what it meant. I hope it really means something!

3- Some skipping around is due! I'm not burning to see what's up in HM, but every chapter we have here seems to bring us closer to going back.
