See, I hadn't liked Momo when I was reading the manga only - I thought she was weak-willed, obsessed, etc., etc. Then I saw the anime - and on that infamous part when she snaps her zanpakutou and charges at Gin, she had me sold. I really admired that kickass - yes, it was kickass - attitude of hers, when she didn't hesitate to go against an obviously stronger opponent to avenge the one she respected and loved.
Was she wrong? Well, yes, but others like, say, Ichigo, aren't much better about rushing with wrong conclusions. Should she have maybe thought deeper before going against Hitsu? Maybe, but he himself understood that she was under a lot of stress and confusion. I'm actually damn proud that she didn't just sit in her jail and just rock back and forth weeping for herself. She took action to do the right thing, even if it was hard for her.
What I didn't like was her part right after she woke up, when basically her role was helping everyone's favourite character, Hitsugaya, develop angst and deep hidden sadness and resolve to help his friend blah blah. So I hope it's not something similar again, when she falls back and it just creates oh-so much pain for Hitsu. Falling back won't bother me as much if it's for her own development, not others. So here's to hoping her role will be more for herself from now on!
Just one another note to already too-long comment: anyone notice the difference in Gin and Aizen's reaction to their vice-captains? Gin's proud of Kira; Aizen doesn't give a damn. Too bad we didn't get to see Tousen's reaction to Hisagi, although I guess the bond there isn't as complicated as the other two.
