This week, Ichigo hears the voice of Juha Bach, who tells him that because of his arrival, in particular arriving from the Soul Palace with clothes made of the hair and bone of Squad 0, the defenses keeping intruders out of the Soul Palace will be down for 6000 seconds. This means that Juha Bach means to invade the Soul Palace while those defenses are down, upping the pressure on Ichigo to hurry and face him. However, Ichigo has 8 Quincy surrounding him, and they have no intention of letting him go. Still, after a series of attacks, Ichigo is unhurt. However, will he be able to break away to face Juha Bach, or will he be too late to stop him from invading the Palace of the King of Souls?
I'm hoping this bout between Ichigo and the other Quincy is finally over. I wasn't minding it, but now that the pace is picking up, I'm hoping it means he'll be able to move on up, if not facing Juha Bach himself, than Hashwald or Uryuu. Renji and the others arriving to hold off the Quincy was helpful, and it kept this fight from dragging out any longer than necessary, plus it does give us the chance to let the rest of that fight unravel mostly out of sight of the reader, since we've seen most of the abilities each character has. I'm still waiting for the rest of Ichigo's new "allies" to arrive, like the Fullbring and the mysterious partner of Urahara's, but it is still unclear when or if we'll get a peek at them during this round of fighting. Until next week, we'll just have to keep grasping at straws, hoping we get there soon.
