It's funny that I had a sigh of relief when I saw that there was a 2 week hiatus istead of fillers. Fillers scare the life out of me.

Aizen and Gin, especially Gin, are the coolest bad guys ever. But the blind guy seems gay. Not sure what it is, but if I saw him in a bar, I'd be watching my back pocket.

Wasn't the guy (store-owner) who had Kon and helped Ichigo train early on know about this soul thing. Is this the person that Aizen was talking about? I had a hard time following considering I can't remember all the names. He seems to have quite the reputation. Did they not say he was banished or something? So what's in that diamond? Looks like that thing that "creates" Kon. Is that another soul that was created specifically for fighting? A half-soul/half-hollow crazy fighting machine? That would rock.

This hellish world also poses some mysteries as we haven't seen much of it since the start of the series. Who controls it? There seems to be something pulling all the strings. Moreso than this Aizen posse. Can't wait for next episode even if it is a while off.
