I...hm. That's a good point. I'm not sure what the deal is with Squalo there!

Oh good, so I'm not missing anything obvious then. I've read back over those chapters and still can't figure out it. @__@

...heh. It's telling that Yamamoto's about my least favorite character. I normally don't have problems with authority figure characters, but he's just been pushing all of the wrong buttons lately. It's definitely not the best strategy, but it appears Aizen's putting up with it.

Which worries me.

Still, some of the captains left to face the Arrancar are favorites so I'm hoping they'll be okay (plus, there'll be the Vizards - they're hotheaded, but they're also smart, likely can fight well as a team, and are essentially older, angrier (for good reason) Ichigos as far as power goes. Stronger? By all rights they should be but he IS the Boy Hero...)

Unless their appearance causes Soul Society to want to fight them which would suck but not be entirely unprecedented. And would almost ensure Aizen's win.

Personally, I now want to see wth happened to Keigo/Tatsuki/Mizuiro after Urahara found them... and the scene with Ulquiorra and Orihime was amazing. I almost don't want Ichigo to be in time to interrupt whatever is going to happen ( ... )

He's one of my least favourite characters too. I hated that he supported the CLEARLY INSANE decision of the Central 46 (or not) to execute Rukia and was willing to greatly injure or even kill his own students over it. I think Dumbledore spoiled me for all other old men in authority positions.

Ditto on wanting to know what happened with the high school buddy-tachi and definitely not wanting Ichigo to be in time this time. XD

I hated Yamamoto too, from the very first panel...and I didn't like Dumbledore, so I wasn't spoiled by him. I think that Yamamoto is just naturally hate-able.

Given, it can't be easy to lead Soul Society, given that it seems like token membership criteria number one is YOU MUST BE AT LEAST ONE KIND OF INSANE. ^_~

But yeah, with you on the Rukia count, and moreso after the flashback arc and Soul Society's treatment of that whole debacle.

Dumbledore. ♥ I had problems with his character as well but in overall, he's beating Yama-jii without even trying. ^^;;

Did you like the new Reborn! chapter? Because I'm really kind of over these long drawn-out fights of little emotional impact with opponents I do not care about. The flow of art's picked up a little, though, so at least I can stare vacantly at the movement of Yamamoto's cute blazer and graphic T ensemble for entertainment. When Squalo appeared in the flashback, I was initially worried that they'd done away with his crazyface and substituted it with yet another generic bishie mold -- then we got to, what, the last panel, and bam, crazyface! I love the crazyface ♥

Also Lussuria please to come back and queen around for my amusement some more soon, I am sick of these new villains with bad hair and worse fashion.

Okay, plotwise KHR is kind of sucking right now, yes. I was studiously ignoring that in favour of Yamamoto being Yamamoto and Squalo and Lussuria being awesome and Genkishi being weird and creepy.

But yeah. Plot. I want to know how older!Yamamoto/Gokudera/Kyoko/Lambo/I-Pin are dealing with their past world, where everything's still mostly okay and idyllic and the Millefiore doesn't even exist yet. I want explanation as to why Squalo was the Gesso representative in the battle leading to the formation of the Millefiore. I want to know wtf is up with Uni and I really, really want a revolt from the inside by the Giglio Nero Blackspell.

Yeah. I want lots of stuff, and I hope the plot picks up soon or the pretty might not be enough to sustain me anymore. ;___;

Shikamaru was great in 406, though. :)
