Bleach 597 - Winded by the Shadow

Another Bleach chapter on a Thursday.  How odd.

Spoilers after the cut.




I guess we can assume that Liltotto is going to eat Pepe.  Excellent.

As Kenpachi said in HM: "NEXT"!

And in this case, the next place to go is Reiokyuu, of course.  Bach and co. have to this point shrugged off everything that Kirinji had to throw at them, so Shutara jumps in with some masked henchmen.

What a lark!  That doesn't work either, and it is revealed that at least one other person went to Reiokyuu with the top three members of the Vandenreich.  He apparently has the ability to ward off attacks via air manipulation.

The more important part of this is that I figured the three yet-to-be-revealed Stern Ritter would be doing something unforeseen.  And this is what I would call unforeseen.

The next question is this: are the other two with them as well?  Did Nakk le Varr get "chosen"?

Also, Ichigo is finally on the way to Reiokyuu.  I'm not sure why it took eight chapters for Urahara to get his stuff together, but that's how these things go.

That said, if "The Wind" is still with Bach by the time Ichigo gets there, I have a hard time seeing what he's going to be able to do.  Not to mention if there are two other guys with as yet unknown power.

And once again, the Zero Division looks ridiculous.  Utterly ridiculous.
