Chapter looked like a transition one.
Still, it's refreshing to see a change in the captains behavior towards their enemy. Quote:

Nice, I think this is the first time I’ve been satisfied with a chapter. Lots of action, little pointless talking, this is what Bleach is all about. We can complain about poor character development and too few of the good guys dying, but at least Bleach does its combat well, and it looks like we’re in for a lot of combat in the chapters to come.
My opinion on the “fights” to come, as they have been revealed so far. I'm sure there will be more comming in the later chapters. Captain Rose vs NaNaNa Najahkoop What a fucking weird name that Quincy has, and he looks like a freak too. I am glad to see that Rose will get some 1v1 action though; I was starting to get a little bit tired of only seeing the same captains fight all the time. Vice Captain Renji vs As Nodt Seems this Quincy is a guy, I thought for sure it was a girl. Seems like the quiet type with some sort of bondage power that causes people to die screaming in pain, pretty interesting. Sadly Renji is probably my least favorite character in Bleach atm; I haven’t seen him in a good fight since he squared of with Byakuya, he just has the slowest and least interesting Bankai in all of Bleach, so I hope that Kubo does something to make this fight more interesting. Captain Komamura vs Bambietta Basterbine Seems like this new Quincy girl is this forums new fan-favorite, she seems to have the “I am cute and also strong” archetype. She’s sadly facing off against the most generic and boring captain in my opinion. Never really liked Komamura much, all of his fights are the same, just him screaming “KOKUJO TENGEN MYYOOOOOO” and then getting defeated. Vice Captain Hisagi vs Yam… uhm I mean big Quincy dude After his kick-ass fight with Findor in the anime during the Fake Karakura Town Arc, Hisagi became one of my favorite characters in Bleach. I am really looking forward to see him facing off against what looks to be a power-house Quincy. Captain Kyoraku vs Quincy with glasses As long as this doesn’t become another “Hey, how about we not fight?” dialogue, I am satisfied if we get to see his friggin bankai. It’s been held back too long at this point, time to show it already. The Quincy is without doubt going to adjust his glasses a lot while talking, and I really mean a LOT. Just having glasses in a manga is a gimmick on its own. Captain Soi Fong vs Quincy with helmet Soi Fong is kinda similar to Komamura I think, not really an interesting captain and we’ve seen her zanpakuto so many times its ceased to be interesting, her bankai on the other hand is pretty funny. The Quincy looks pretty generic, I have no idea what he will do. Captain Ukitake vs the back of a Quincy’s head Same as Kyoraku, show me bankai already. Captain Hitsugaya vs some random Quincy In danger of sounding too negative, this will only be interesting if Hitsugayas opponent is, because Hitsugaya himself certainly stopped being interesting a while ago. He’s just been in so many fights and we’ve seen his bankai a million times. Captain Byakuya vs big Quincy It’s Byakuya, despite seeing his bankai a lot I still think his fights are pretty interesting, so this one might be good.

Since there are still a few captains remaining from the fray I wonder what Kubo has planned for them. And the bankai i want to see the most is Urahara's - but that seems far away at the moment And still no glimpse of YORUICHI - damn you Kubo

Why wouldn't a little girl be a fan favorite when shes only been shown twice? She's just going to be a annoying character I hope she dies off funny. But I do agree on the boring dog captian should be Kensie since he is annoyed by little girls lol. Unless they make dog captain do something cool

Some of the match-ups are surprising. Didn't expect Komamura of all people to fight the cutie.
I hope some of the shinigamis will actually die this time around. They shouldn't be able to win every time.

Oh joy. Lots of 1v1 match ups. Exactly what I wanted...
Renji: Who is this guy?! My attacks aren't working! Is it his ability or is it because he's a quincy? It's because you're a fucking weakling, Renji. ¬_____¬

LOL, For some reason, the Quincy "Sternritters" remind me of Cenobites for some reason...I have no deeper comment, that was just the first thing to pop into my mind while reading the chapter.
Otherwise, death galore = lots 'o' fun. But, everyone is paired off now, and Kubo's a wuss when it comes to named characters death, so while there will be some fun battles ahead, I'm not expecting much unless Kubo really wants to end the manga in style. |

If Kira is really dead it will my happiest moment in Bleach ever. I hope a lot of captains will die too. My ideal situation will be to have Byakuya, Kenpachi, Hitsugaya, Shinji and Kyoraku as the last surviving captains before they decide to bring back Aizen to save their asses.
HAHAHA just kidding! Nobody's gonna die! Not even bloody Kira! |

It wouldn't be that way if it hadn't been 495 chapters gone by without a SINGLE important good guy dying. It's not that I hate Kira so much I want to see him gone from the series, it's just that there's no sense of danger when the good guys never die. A fight is more interesting if you know there's a chance one of the characters you like might be terminated, at least that's what I think.
