Pretty decent chapter in all honesty.
We get the Hougyoku mostly explained
Rangiku was in fact, put into that trance state with a kido spell as many of us thought.
Gin's definitely a good guy it seems; and I might actually be upset if he's dead - one of the few characters that I like that actually had depth to him.
Oh and yeah Ichigo's back so...GG time?
A small thought on the chains: I believe the chains are the one's that Ishin used to support the Senkai cavern in, but hopefull they are part of Ichigo's new form - they look pretty boss.
