I probably shouldn't read spoilers for the future chapter
Gin vs Ichigo eh? Didn't see that coming. Isshin vs Aizen saw that coming. I wonder if we'll see the emergence of Ichigo Hollow form v.2 like in the fight against Ulquiorra. Hopefully Gin's bankai isn't some mad hax like Aizen is.

Ichigo's new hollow transformation is almost certainly going to appear, but it depends on whether he is ultimately going to fight Aizen or not. If Ichigo is supposed to only fight Gin, then he will use hollow v2. If Ichigio is supposed to eventually fight Aizen, then he will have help beating Gin, and use hollow v2 on Aizen (and it will probably evolve further, and still might not be enough).
Also, Gin bankai is likely an attacking bankai, just like his shikai. I'm hoping it will be something interesting though and not "hey Ichigo, I'm generically stronger now."
I use onemanga for general read, but for bleach and naruto many other sites have at least LQ translations up faster.
Thanks for the link.
Interesting indeed, Gin's Bankai should be exciting, hopefully anyway! A bit strange that there wasn't a flashback at all with some sort of explanation as of yet.
Can't wait for next week... but I think that Urahara will probably be stepping in at some point in the next 8-10 chapters to help Ichigo (or his dad?).
I think Kubo might be developing a finger fetish or something, just like his fetish for missing limbs.
I still want to know what Unohana is doing. Is she still reattaching Hiyori together or something?
Maybe after the Other Shinigami had attacked eachother she realized the proper course of action is to stay the F$^% out of the way instead of unknowingly help Aizen.
Wow, Gin's bankai is epic fail. 13km long? Kinda screwed if you miss as that would be hard to wield easily. Gets a nice Getsuga Tenshou right to the face at the end of the chapter. Wonder if his hollowfied form will have anything different or if there's a secret to his bankai.
What? No. His Bankai is epic win. He takes a hilarious bankai and takes it to realms of the ridiculous. I also like to think of it as a stab at how Ichigo just gets "better" with his bankai, so Gin's bankai just gets "better." I liked it.
I'd have to imagine it isn't simply that his sword stretches to such lengths. My guess is we are going to see Ichigo caught off guard when Gin shows him that he can have the full length of the sword travel in any direction he wants it to.
It's good to see that Gin's bankai just wasn't a larger version of his shikai. I'm not sure I understood why Kubo had those pages with Matsumoto at the start, didn't really seem to do much. Good to see Ichigo using his brain for once instead of just going hollow v2.0 or something and wtfpwn Gin. So Aizen was actually getting weaker instead of stronger? More Aizen hax powerup with the Hogyoku or something?
Kind of liked this chapter, explanation as to some stuff that was a bit unclear before now. Ichigo's actually pretty cool when he's not emo and on resolveroids. Do hope Isshin gets to stay, too.
Oh, if anyone was wondering the anime has started back on track with the main plot. Ichigo and Ulquiorra have begun their fight (not actually serious yet), and the others are messing around with the lesser beings.
