New cover for the chapter
In the previous chapter, we thought that Toushirou was fatally injured by Halibel's attack. However, that was actually a diversion created by Toushirou in an attempt to try and outsmart the espadas. The espadas are a very super tough lot of fighters and it takes smart wit to win against them, not pure brute force.
This shows that Toushirou is not all what he seems to be, despite his child-like appearance. He's got much more mettle to his credit than he would let on but his fight with Halibel is still not over yet. As usual, Kubo Tite is going to cover the battle in several chapters, so that leave us readers hanging in the balance for now. Aww...
The other shinigami captain to be featured in this chapter is Soi Fong, who is fighting against espada no. 2, Barragan Luisenbarn, and he explained how each of the Espadas embody an aspect of death. According to the series, these are the ten reasons why humans die. Each Espada govern one aspect of death each and each aspect is reflective of an Espada's personality and/or fighting style.
He himself represent aging, a form of time manipulation. He can render his opponent unable to move or even break their bones without them realising it until it's too late. Poor Soi Fong is going to have a pretty tough fight this time but I'm betting that Yoruichi Shihōin will come in to save the day. Hee...
Now Barragan has just use his release and he sure looks awesome too. See the picture below:
Credit to sleepy fans for all the pictures.
He looks like a skeleton king, doesn't he? A grand one at that too. Oh man, the next chapter will be out tomorrow and the translated version should be out by Thursday or Friday. Till then, the fate of the shinigami captains as well as Ichigo and gang is still up for guessing. Phew!
