geofroggatt's review against another edition

This volume did a great job at introducing Arrancars as a menacing and dangerous threat. Seeing how easily they killed hundreds of humans and nearly killed Chad, Tatsuki and Orihime really raised the stakes, though I’d love to hear the explanation the humans had for so many people mysteriously dying, even with the memory wipe powers the Soul Reapers have. I loved seeing some of the Soul Reapers enter the human world to visit Ichigo, and I loved seeing Rukia return back to the human world. I liked the ending of this volume and how it explains the lore of the Hollows/Arrancars further and how it easily raises the stakes for the entire cast of characters up until this point.

I spent too much of this manga covering Ulquiorra's tear marks with my fingers to figure out what he'd look like without them (surprisingly handsome??)
