Oh thank goodness:
"It is UNKNOWN if Byakuya, Renji and Rukia are dead."
Thank you Jump ;___; thank you. I'll take "unknown" over "confirmed" any day.
Onto the chapter:
I think I understand why Kubo's been putting the SS in such peril - specifically, Byakuya, Renji and Rukia - is to set Ichigo off. Maybe to reveal a new Hollow transformation, or just to get him to transform into a Hollow form we've seen before (look at his face on page 10). Ichigo won't lose it unless shit is really going down. And since Byakuya, Renji and Rukia are close to him (Rukia and Renji being the closest, obviously) it just makes things worse for him. Poor Ichigo. I really do feel for him, but I think it's necessary....Kubo wouldn't have trapped him otherwise. I guess SS has to fall before something new happens, whether it be the Zero Squad coming in or Ichigo transforming.
I have a bad feeling about Yama and Hisagi though...
