Am happy for Izuru!
Oh dear, the baby is born, look out!

That’s it Red! Give those arrogant council members a proper introduction to the newest member of the Kuchiki Clan!

Everything is so gorgeous, truly a ceremony worth them both.

Well, although a bit rough around the edges, at least Renji’s men have his back.

Well hell’s bells...

Ok, so maybe Gin had slightly good intentions, he still deserved that punch from Ichigo, for sure.
I imagine that pendant does way very heavily on Renji.

Omg, Renji, just clear your schedule and quit being troublesome.
I’m with Ichigo, ‘that sick f’ing son of a btch!’

Sorry, but Shuuhei and Kira are both being stupid. If they are both happier together, then just get back together. But from the context of the last bit before Ichigo leaves, Kira has a lot of personal issues he needs to deal with before he can move forward with Shuuhei. Very adult of him.
Omg, omg, omg! Byakuya’s gift to Renji is absolutely beautiful! Had me convinced for a minute, he was rejecting their relationship. I almost cried.

Wow, there’s a lot of emotional tension at this party. Ichigo seems to be the only one holding it together right now.

My heart nearly broke for Renji when Byakuya just left like that. I’m glad Ginrei talked to him, maybe helped ease Renji’s overloaded mind some.

Wow, Renji, that was subtle. And he doesn’t even think he’ll be left alive this time, lol

All three of the newly seated captains have certainly got a lot of work ahead of them. Keep it up boys, you can do it

So cute! Baldy and prissy pants make such an adorable couple.
It may take time, but Kira will work through the mental damage.

Poor Byakuya, how can someone of his rank and nobility still be so oblivious. Can’t believe Rukia had to point out the obvious to him, before he’d even give it consideration.

Renji did very well addressing the fifth division members, but as he said, I’m sure there’s many that’s going to require a lot of work.
I think I’m in shock from Byakuya’s compliment. There conversation here is more that of friends than comrades. Can definitely feel their closeness growing as the story progresses. Woo!
