well bout the chapter 216, it's kinda over the board a bit when all the other vaizards came out to stop Ichigo. the way they placed the swords around Ichigo is like for decoration purpose rather than stopping him.

well split is better. less clustered n messy. yea spoiler tag got its purpose but in a single thread with so many of those tags...

Hmm maybe Ichigo should learn some kidou arts . Btw that Lisa seems quite confident with her skills. Didn't even call out her hollow even when the hollow Ichigo is lunging straight to her.
