I am loving the set up of Ichigo as "inspiration figure" for SS more and more. There's no bullshit of messianic feat crap like in certain other manga
All big 3 are identical in this matter. Please people, I'm begging you stop using comparisons as an actual arguement. It's not. You make it sound as if one manga is great only because the others are bad (which is all based on subjectivity). All big 3 use the idea of the messia.

I've been a die hard supporter of Bleach since chapter 1, but this was BY FAR the worst chapter I've ever read. I really cannot believe Byakuya did not die!! After that long drawn out, page wasting, emotional spill about how humiliating it was for him to ask for help as he lay there waiting for certain death's embrace, the mother fucker is still kicking!! What a load of horse shit!! This chapter now makes Byakuya look like a little whining weak baby back bitch.The only mildly relevant information in the whole fucking chapter was that Urahara is apparently in a bad situation not being able to speak to anyone, he is more than likely captured by somebody.
What a giant fucking waste of a weeks worth of waiting for almost nothing plot worthy to happen, besides mentioning Kurotsuchi and Urahara. This is seriously stupid. I swear to God that if I had the opportunity, I would make Hihio Zabimaru bite off Kubo Tite's Dick!! .75/5
It's a character-oriented chapter not a plot one ;). It's these chapters that give life to a manga. Though I agree that Byakuya should die (already said so). Hopefully Fai is right and Byakuya will remain crippled as a war-veteran, but if you think about it it's irrational according to Bleach's realism since there exists a certain maiden capable to undo everything...oh well.
