I'm so excited for the arrancar arc! So much has happened in the initial shift from the rescue mission back to Karakura. I have so many questions but so much love for Ryuken and Isshin stepping in to help, even if they both are a bit difficult to their sons. I want to know all about their backgrounds and powers!

Shinji is so interesting and I'm wondering how his introduction of reversing things applies to him always being upside down when he shows up. 

This would have been a 5 star volume, but I don't love how Chizuru literally gropes Orihime every time she's in a panel. I don't enjoy the aggressive predator lesbian trope, and while Tatsuki always puts her in place and it's meant to be a gag, I don't appreciate pannels of 16 year old girls getting groped.
