sucks so hard how they're not allowed to do anything that might actually develop the storyline... kariya would be a perfect "boss-fight" for ichigo to learn summat new off zangetsu but we all know that can't possibly happen. What d'you mean about Byakuya's 'true' bankai, surely the annihilationscape was tthe best he could come up with...? If he had more up his sleeve he would've used it instead of letting ichicgo braq him, no? Is that speculation or have you read the manga?
