I witnessed one of the coolest panels ever. When it seemed like Rukia would be executed, Ichigo arrived to the rescue. He destroyed the execution stand, leaving those present in a state of shock. What's more, he even defeated that fire bird, which was truly amazing. And when he threw Rukia at Renji, it was so funny. Then, he engaged in a fight with Byakuya in what was one of the coolest scenes. But then, enter Soi Fon! She and Yoruichi have a long history as Soi Fon's former mentor. Their battle is epic, with poison darts and new spiritual techniques being used. Meanwhile, two captains are battling Genryuu, the commander, and it seems like it's going to be a huge showdown. However, the book has started to show some flaws. There are many chapters where Ichigo is not present, which slows down the pace significantly.
5 stars. This manga has a great volume! Ichigo managed to save Rukia, and Renji big brother is there to help. It's really exciting. Meanwhile, 2 captains are fighting the general of the soul society. We get to see their zanpakto, and the way they dual wield is extremely cool. Even though the general is an old man, he is incredibly strong.
We also saw a little backstory to the 2 captains. They seem like really cool people, and I can tell they are great friends. However, the general seems a bit suspicious. I have a feeling that someone has taken over him. Based on what the captains are saying, he's not really himself.
The cat lady is fighting her subordinate, and seeing them fight is really cool. Her power is amazing, and I'm excited to see just how strong it is. Also, the subordinate is strong and precise. I can see why she's basically the captain of the assassins. Her power, where if she hits the same spot twice, the person dies, is overpowered.
Ichigo is about to fight Byakuyo, and this is something I'm really eager to read!!! I can't wait to see what happens next in this thrilling story.
