Seriously, I felt so damn bad for Byakuya in this chapter. Here we have one of the strongest guys from Soul Society, and already he has had his Bankai stolen and made to feel fear like he has never felt before. As Nodt did compliment him on even remaining sane after being hit by the attack, but damn, it was such a messed up thing to happen.
If this sort of thing happened to Byakuya of all characters (one who beforehand most people would have guessed would be well suited to fighting him), then who knows how the heck anyone is going to be able to stop As Nodt.
Also of course it looks like it could be the end of Byakuya, which if it turns out to be the case will be a shame as I have always really liked him. It would certainly show that Kubo is taking no prisoners though, and that no character is off-limits in terms of who dies in this arc.
Unlike Naruto which has been hit and miss through it's own war arc, Bleach has consistently been turning out great chapter after great chapter, and Kubo has done a great job in actually making this feel like a real war with real casualties and sacrifice.
This was a really good chapter yet again, though I admit it creeped me out seeing the panels with Rukia (Byakuya's worst fear version of course) and to a lesser extent the bugs crawling all over him. As Nodt is a sadistic person and he must have the creepiest ability yet seen in Bleach.
Whether Byakuya is dead or not is still anyone's guess at this point, but what I do know for sure is that Soul Society needs a plan and fast, and at this rate, it needs to be a plan WITHOUT Ichigo.
