That was a very cool chapter. And of course my Ishida-centric brain went "OK, if KT is making these fights with these characters so freaking awesome, maybe... *brain goes off contemplating the possible awesomeness of Ishida's (eventual, someday) return*"

For some reason tho, I can't allow myself to think of particulars just in case I'm disappointed. I'm like "Oh god, no Pesche, PLEASE! Please let the boy have a real magnificent moment. And where Ichigo can see it. Please?" I was relieved to see Renji back with no sign of Dondo, thinking that probably meant Ishida w/o Pesche. Then my brain said "Wait, what if they're BOTH with Ishida? GAHHHHH! NOOOOO!"

Like I said: not allowing myself to think about it.
