Something about the Espada and their threat makes them likeable villains.

The first half of this volume is mostly training but it's pretty funny and well done. I also really liked the training for Ichigo. Everyone else is also getting their powers upgraded too. I think what they're doing with Oro is kind of just okay idea but I feel the idea of what will happen to her is similar to the last arc.

But once Grimjaw shows up it get serious and everyone begins a rough battle. With all the Reapers on the edge of losing it gets real exciting to see what happens next! A 4 out of 5.
