Personally, I think Tear (Tia?) Harribel is out for the count folks. She might attempt a comeback, but at best, it'll probably be a last ditch effort.

As for Soi Fon, I cant wait. She looks so calm and bad ass while uttering "ban....kai", dammit I want chapter 360 to be out already.

And Oomaeda is now my new favorite lieutenant. I'll probably eat my left toe for saying this at some point of time in the future, but for now? Inconceivable as this may sound, I daresay that I find him to be really sweet and a woobie inside, along with being incredibly funny. Dammit Kubo, you've done it again. Making me care for a character who is the utter antithesis of anything remotely treading the bishie line. Harrumph.

Allon/ Ayon/ Eon/ insert-suitable-spelling-here looks mighty fine and dashing on the cover doesn't he? He seems almost fluffy. Almost.

After this chapter, I no longer believe Soi-Fon doesn't care about Oomaeda. If she truly didn't care, she wouldn't bother planning on beating him up later for his whining. Obviously Yoruichi burned her pretty badly, so she stays distant from everyone. Her attitude is such a front. But I can say now that I LIKE her, and him, and not just because he's hilarious.

Next week is gonna be AMAZING! I'm stocking up on popcorn and lemonade.
