Well besides the historical inaccuracies the "Friend" mini flashback was actually pretty good- a local high point so far imo. Granted, Kubo set these characters up and is now trying his best to contradict everything he set up about them buuuut, well, it's not like he hasn't been doing that with everything else in this damn arc. The latest chapter had some promising set-up, hopefully the pacing/intensity doesn't die in the next one, and the battles progress quickly so we're not stuck in a repeat of the first part of the loop. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered, hopefully they won't continue to be swept under the rug as they so far have been ever since we found out Ichigo was part Quincy/Space-dog too.
