Feels like I'm the only one here deeply concerned with Byakuya's death. I mean, NO! Are you fucking kidding me, Kubo? If you don't, go die. Byakuya is my fave Bleach's character. Now, when the plot's pretty lame, and gets me bored, Byakuya was the only thing that kept me reading this manga. If he's dead, that reason'll be gone, I can easily drop it. And yet... This is truly a shameful way to die. Shinjirarenai. Arienai.
But it's Kubo we're talking about. In Bleach death in most cases isn't actually death when it comes to good guys. Damn Hinamori has died twice already and unfortunately hasn't yet made it to the other side. That's why I'm not gonna believe he's dead until he's 100% officially confirmed dead. And if he is, well...
I do hope Ken-chan's kicking those bastard's asses next chap. ^_^
