Well, looks like the Superstar hasn't quite finished yet, and he's determined to defeat Renji with everything he has. Also, James the little sidekick isn't dead yet, either, and he turns into a whole crowd to power up their superstar. So, looks like it's still on, but Renji hasn't given it all he has, either, so it will be interesting to see Renji's new powers.
One things that's getting on my nerves a little bit is how none of these Quincy ever seem to just die like they should. While I understand it keeps the action going, I expected Renji to dispatch this guy quickly, then have to draw out his full power against a stronger enemy. This just seems a little ridiculous, I mean, these guys are technically human, just with special abilities, so how is it that they can just regenerate, and even then not until someone cheers for them? I can follow that they all inherited their powers from the king, but I still can't get passed a person who gets a power boost/healed by a person cheering for them, it seems to completely overlooks the logic of the series.
Powers are based on spirit energy, but this guy gets a boost based on... "cheers from the crowd?" This is a power that currently has no valid basis in the reality the series takes place in. I can understand cheers making a person more confident and willing, but this character seems to practically get a shot of reishi-roids every time someone says his name. Unless his powers are somehow naturally limited, and he needs the cheers to bring them out, it really doesn't make sense. But even then, how is he limited, and why? It's situations like this that make the plot and characters start to unravel, and that's where you wonder what the writer(s) are thinking. Renji, on the other hand, has a power boost that we can at least quantify, given his training at the soul palace. So that actually fits right into the series. I just hope we finish this fight soon because Kubo is losing the momentum again, and these fights are once again starting to drag out longer than they should in my opinion.
