*mourns Shunsui's hat* What annoyed me most about Hitsugaya was that he was just standing there, waiting for the attack with wide eyes. *sigh* Things like that makes me understand why there's a lot of ppl who don't like him. I really wanted to kick him into action there so he'd stop staring at the shark-boobs. One would think he's used to seeing boobs around...

Soi-Fon confuses me. Sometimes she's awesome and really strong and now... it's like she's already given up. And from what I've understood, it's only Kenpachi who doesn't have a bankai, since he won his seat by battle. At least that's how it used to be.

I'd like Oomaeda to be the token killed Shinigami in this clash between the sides. He's really annoying and appears to be rather useless. If he's the second best they've got in that division, it's really gone downhill after Yoruichi left.

Thank gods for the healing! I was very worried about Shuuhei and Matsumoto.
