I'm finding the Orihime portion more intriguing than the Ishida portion although I'm wondering if there is a tie between the two scenes. I don't want to scream "ISHIHIME!" because this isn't a shipper chapter, but I have to think that there is some kind of connection between what is happening with Ishida and what is happening with Orihime. Ishida is obviously no normal Quincy and Orihime is obviously no ordinary human.
And I am surprised at the surprise that Orihime can "revive" people who are dead unless people thought that the shinigami in the dangai were alive after being half-disintegrated.
But I'm going to wait for the raw/scans to get a better feel, but at the least, Kubo is going into some iffy territor for Orihime. Power like that does not go unnoticed or unpunished.
What toned down IshiHime to me was how Kubo seem to be sidelining Uryuu post-Mayuri. But in Hueco Mundo arc we see him back in the spot light, and--believe it or not--appearing in more chapters than Ichigo ever since they entered Urahara's gate.
After reading the chapter, I like seeing how Orihime is still the girl who'd protect her enemies, though now she had lost the tears she cried over Mayuri's canon fodder soldiers. And I still can't guess where Kubo'd be taking her story.
Judging from Aizen's interest in her, I was actually expecting even greater things from her because this is Aizen we're talking about. The man who wanted to fill in the throne in the sky. The question is then, can Orihime stay herself in the process?
Still, as I mentioned above, I think she's getting more and more overpowered. I don't know if Kubo will stay consistent with his "world balance" theme (because the shinigami now doesn't seem to mind the quincy decimating hollows here and there), but if he does, then Orihime needs to have a limit by the time Bleach ends.
I've entertained thoughts and ficbunnies--that probably would remain forever WIP ^^;--that she would sacrifice herself to save everyone back when Rolling Star was the anime OP, but I don't really believe it would happen. Orihime's the right person to kill if you're looking for a tearjerker--she's been the portrayal of innocence in the story. But what Watsuki Nobuhiro (Kenshin's mangaka) wrote in one of his author notes is really grafted in my mind: shounen should end
