WBCR - A blade wielded by fear can't save (Grade A-)

See this picture? It's Rukia's Bankai - Hakko No Togame (White Mist Punishment). From what I saw, it makes the entire field left in a large pillar of ice. However, this is just a guess since it wasn't elaborated on. I think it's quite a lovely, beautiful, and deadly Bankai that Byakuya can't help but praise her sister. So this week's chapter starts off with As Nodt being given a second chance by Yhwach. Upon pondering heaven or hell, he explicates that he truly is afraid of pain - the essence of his own power is derived from his own fear of death itself - plain and simple. And then this chapter decides to turn to two character we haven't seen in awhile - Isane and Yachiru, both whom are the respected lieutenants of both Kenpachi(s). Out of nowhere, a Stern Ritter with the letter "V" named Gwenhael, capable of vanishing from one's field of vision. At first we saw Yachiru punch him, but then Yachiru herself got punched in the face from Gwenhael's punch (Poor Yachiru). First off, I'm curious to know whether we get to see Yachiru's true power. Remember she's no walk in the park - she's a lieutenant level Shinigami. And secondly, will these two ladies be enough to handle this Stern Ritter? We've only seen Isane fight once against Ichigo and get punched in the gut, but that's it. She is proficient in her usage of Kido and medical skills since she is part of the 4th division. Overall, I like this week's chapter because it showcases Rukia's Bankai, As Nodt's perception of life overall (an outlook on the lives before being gained power by Yhwach), and the start of perhaps Yachiru's Shikai release? I'm going to give this week's chapter a Grade A-. I want to see Yachiru fight for once and know who Rukia & Byakuya will fight next. I hope you enjoyed this week's WBCR and until then, you all stay classy now. The Bleach Hakusho post for today will be posted between 10:00-10:30am.
