Things have really gotten interesting. The chapter was more misleading, as we didn't focused that much on Hitsugaya, but consider how often he has been beaten in this series, I hope he gets this win, even if he will need help. Just be on the winning side for once.
When we went to the flashback, I thought at the first the child was a girl, I guess after all that focus on Nanao, and Nemu in recent chapters I got uses to dark haired children being girls, and I thought OMG does Haswalth have a daughter. Once I realized that was Uryu I was excited, we finally get some development on him.
I don't want the flashback with Ryuken suppose to imply, does give the reason why Uyru is pissed off at humans or Qunicys?
So just when Haswalth was going to fight Uryu, Ichigo shows up. Now what happens, this could be a three way fight between three, or Ichigo vs Uryu while Haswalth sits back and watches if Uryu can prove his loyalty.
So we are getting closer to the end here. I expect we are going to cut away from Ichigo for a while in the next chapter.
