Aha's comment: So, Senjumaru is female. Up yours, Kubo. This isn't telling us much besides confirming Senjumaru's gender which wasn't a total mystery anyway.

次号は一護たちけんせ組・バイザード・第三勢力を総特集 Next issue... full feature on Ichigo's Human Realm group, the Vizards, and the third force!

Aha's comments: Hisagi learning Bankai...gives them no advantage at all. The moment he gets that Bankai stolen, he's going to go right back to not having the power you were working to achieve. So basically, Nimaiya's Zanpakutō forging is Super Reijutsu? Seems legit. I find it funny Kubo is posting questions where he should be giving us answers. Also, why did he use "Soul Reaper"? Isn't it "Shinigami" in Japan, and "Soul Reaper" in the Viz translation? ALL OF MY CONFUSED.
