WTF I'M SO EXCITED AND I'LL BE HOME SO LATE D:

Ah, at least, I feel pumped up? XD

I didn't see it coming either, but OMG, ISSHIN AND GIN? OMG§!

[xjadebx.livejournal.com]

syn!!!! Hurry up and get home so I can fangirl with you!

[elfishscallywag.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY? Freaking sweet. I can't wait to see what his bankai is!
Also, I love how Isshin headbutts Ichigo. Daddy's back ♥

[shinigami-lucia.livejournal.com]

LOL, I almost forgot about Gin and I just remembered that he was still there after I read this spoiler XDD ...Anyway, Isshin is awesome! <333 ..And looks like Ichigo vs Gin fight is coming. Now I wonder if Gin will mention Rukia during this fight. We all know he has some sort of unknown interest towards her. I wonder if the reason will be flesh out more during this fight.

GIIINNN...GIN'S BANKAI...Yes, I am a happy fan. But damn you Kubo for making me have to choose between knowing Ichigo's lineage or Gin's bankai. But what the heck..Giiinnn. But who will be stabbed by Gin if indeed this mirrors soukyoku scene ?

Dayum! Looks like the 78 people who voted for "Gin actually does something" on the poll were right.

[secila80.livejournal.com]

More Kurosaki father-son fun times?!? Yes, please!!! Bring on the head butt of fatherly love!!!

(I've been kind of afraid to see Gin's bankai. Something about extendable swords . . .)

[mikados.livejournal.com]

Isshin sends Aizen flying? I must see this O_O

I haven't really thought about what Gin's bankai would be like, but it must be a long distance weapon as well. I just hope it's cool and reflects Gin's personality.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

Aizen will be conveniently gone for a few chapters? Omg omg omg GIN BAN KAI... I do hope this doesn't mean his death because Ban Kai = you know...

*can't stop thinking about it*

*wants to see GIN BAN KAI SOOOOOOO MUCH*

[(Anonymous)]

It worries me also. I'm afraid for him..But Gin has still many unresolved situations. Kira, Rangiku, Rukia. And while I know Aizen is a bastard, I can not see him not helping Gin if he is in trouble. Who will be fanboying about him if Gin is not around ? XD

Oh please Kubo..please please. Don't let him die.

OMGGGGGGGGG *massive fangasm*

And Gin's bankai. Uh-oh I hope it doesn't mean what I think it means D: I still pray for Gin's redemption D:

[apathymoon.livejournal.com]

How about Aizen~? I feel so.. out of place. >_

[forgottenranger.livejournal.com]

As I said in real life... "HOLY SHIT!"

[wdboldstar.livejournal.com]

Man, am I the only one who thinks Gin is irredeemable? I mean, the dude makes Nnoitora look well adjusted!

That said, I hope we get some meaningful glances and stuff between him and Matsumoto (and maybe even Shiro-chan) before he dies, if he's meant to die here and now.

[pogo2468.livejournal.com]

And don't forget Kira! He definitely has unresolved issues with him.

[karkashan.livejournal.com]

....curse you Kubo and your tendency to make us wait forever to get answers to questions we so dearly want to know the answers to....

Almost as bad as Lost, y'know? Almost being the key word there.

...you're still cool though....

[spartydragon.livejournal.com]

ISSHIN IS THE MASTER OF WTF PWNS!!! Also... Ku-Kuroaski tag team!? I NEVER DARED HOPE!!

[arcadiasilver.livejournal.com]

I think Kubo and Chris Metzen are one and the same.

But anyway.

YES TO DADDY HEADBUTTS. Looks like someone else knows the only way to snap Ichigo out of his stuttering funk is to wallop him. And is this a FATHER-SON TAG TEAM I SEE!? I can't wait for the release now!

Gin's bankai...meh.

[pogo2468.livejournal.com]

Daamn, I was definitely not expecting this!! I thought this chapter would have a lot of talk in it, not Isshin being badass and blowing Aizen away or Gin using bankai!!

Gin better not be dying without having his moments with Matsumoto and Kira. I've been waiting for those moments to happen ever since we were at FKT.

Daddy headbutt FTW and OMGWTF Father/Son Tagteam?? MUST SEE!!! XXXXD

[mikaoru.livejournal.com]

Daddy headbutt FTW and OMGWTF Father/Son Tagteam?? MUST SEE!!! XXXXD

I need to see that like NAO

[bluejesus.livejournal.com]

I really hope this is an April Fools joke. T_T It seems that once an enemy's cards are shown---they diiiieeee T_T.
Gin can't die! He is still too dynamic a character.

[iselinka.livejournal.com]

This looks rather funny ^^ I can't wait to see team Kurosaki in action.
I was hoping for a 'daddy fight' and therefore I'm very pleased to read that Isshin head butts Ichigo xD

Gin's bankai!! Yes,yes and yes! :D I don't want him to die but I don't see him dying because of him showing his bankai. Hm,but maybe it's just me.

Anyway,very nice!

[xjadebx.livejournal.com]

I hope this is not some cruel April's Fool joke. Anyways, I'm glad Bleach is getting exciting again; it's about damn time.

[peca-06.livejournal.com]

"Isshin head butts Ichigo and he goes flying." "He hits Isshin back and them Isshin(?) says something like, "So you were able to recover."
LMAO, it seems that there is going to be some "comic relief gig" between those two XD. It is always like that when these two get together XD. What is Isshin doing, playing the monkey from "the Lion King" on Ichigo?? lol "the bump?... It doesn't matter Ichigo... It is in the past..." type of talk XD.
"And then I don't remember how it happened, but Isshin attacks Aizen and Aizen is blown away"
I am sure that it doesn't mean that Aizen was very IMPRESSED by Isshin's attacks lol. I wonder what are the abilities of Isshin's zampaku-to to be able to blow Aizen away and... what is with the disappearance??? cloaking himself??? Is that how he was able to go undetected in the Real World at first?.
Anyway, jokes aside, I am sooooo excited about Isshin's cunning abilities, what it sounds like an Ichigo x Isshin tag-team and Gin's Bankai!!! omg! lots of good stuff in this chapter, verrry interesting!

[copper-season.livejournal.com]

Isshin is awesome and I've been dying to see him in shinigami action. Also, Gin's bankai? Double sweet.

[skilly-n-duff.livejournal.com]

*dies* Gin! Gingingingingingingin! And I LOVE the comic daddy relief!

[karenai.livejournal.com]

I AM PRETTY SURE THAT NEHA AND I DISCUSSED "GIN DOES SOMETHING" AS A CRACK/OBLIGATORY OPTION IN LAST WEEK'S TICKY BOX POLL.

*FLAILING*

[nehalenia.livejournal.com]

We did! And 78 people voted for it! :D

[karenai.livejournal.com]

Oh and sorry for the spam (Debbie, you can smite me :3) but why are people calling for Gin's death over in the chapter thread?

I have a serious question: is it just me that has always perceived Gin to be a more important villain than Tousen, or is that fandom bias that prefers Gin? Notice Gin went bankai here, he didn't become THE FLY - I have never felt that he worships Aizen in the same wild manner that Tousen did. Accordingly, I think he's a villain who will hold out longer and I pretty much see no reason for Ichigo of all people to kill Gin, not when Byakuya, Rangiku, Kira, and Rukia come out as more emotionally relevant. (Shuuhei was the one to kill Tousen, after all.)

I really wonder why Gin would die here. >.>

[yet-adored.livejournal.com]

It would be highly illogical for Gin to die here. Shocking, yes, but ultimately disappointing. I don't really consider becoming a master creeper as character development. Tousen gave himself over to Aizen completely, which resulted in FLY!Tousen and getting reaped by Shuuhei. Justice, rawr, rawr. We knew his motivations, there was resolution with Komamura and Shuuhei, etc.

We still have no idea why Fox-Face went bad (or Aizen either, for that matter, but that's another discussion entirely). The plot possibilities are too potent, and too promising, to be cut off now. And I agree with you--there are too many interested parties out of comission or out of sight for Gin to bite it. Ichigo really isn't all that invested in Gin. But a fully healed Kira and Matsumoto double-team with a side of Lord Snooty? Pass the popcorn.

There's plenty more Aizen-sama in our future, and he needs his right hand smirker.

[la-kalaka.livejournal.com]

I'll trust BA. KUROSAKI FAMILY IN ACTION!!!! LE YAY!!!!!! *_*

Oooh I want the raw so badly just for the plasure to see Isshin kicking Ichigo like the old times.

Gin's Banaki can wait although I'm curious to see how his bankai looks (it's about time man!) but I don't believe he is gonna die. After all he keeps being a mistery and the most closer to Aizen in strenght, intelligence and relationship unlike Touse who always looked separated from them.

He has a long journey still.

[afteriwake.livejournal.com]

I'm not a Gin fan, but you have a very valid point. I can't wait to see what stories are told with him now that Isshin's back.
