I got shivers this chapter, not out of surprise or shock (I'm sure everyone expected this), but the atmosphere.
I really like how Ichigo went to his "Big sis" for a cooldown after the conflict with his old man, it really makes our characters feel more human. Sure he has powerups and fights big bad villains, but at the end of the day, he's just a teenager. Also the fact that Ichigo forgot his badge there, it's kind of symbolic really... Ichigo leaves behind his "Shinigami" life and is now about to be introduced to the truth of his origins. I really loved how this chapter was handled.
Now on to the real business... this flashback. It was nice seeing a young Masaki, she resembles both Yuzu and Karin a bit. Isshin is also confirmed as Captain or higher (no surprise there). I can't wait to see this "Love story of destiny".
Let it all sink in, nice and slow, Kurosaki Ichigo.
