Chapter is out.
Really wouldn't of been a proper Rukia confrontation without her getting stabbed at some point. At least she didn't get completely impaled this time.
Only brightside to this chapter was that Kubo managed to knock out all these terrible backstories in a single chapter. None of their histories actually justify their actions thus far. It's even worse than Byakuya's excuse for how he treated Rukia.
Speaking of Byakuya, it seems we are finally going back to him next time. I am curious what Riruka's glowing R did, but the Tsukishima fight is far more interesting.
