Wonderful chapter! Um...I don't really care for Chad but I wouldn't want to strangle him. All the Espada are cool...Hm. Soi Fongs Lieutenant is the one I mostly dislike. Other than that...I pretty much like everyone. And yeah, Hinamori is annoying. Have a wonderful week!!

I saw it on adult swim, then started watching online when the new episodes ran out. But here's my idea for something that might be a nice touch: if one of readers has some artistic skills, maybe they would be willing to get a piece of art showing the kids as they look now. (I have no art skills beyond stick figures.)

My best friend tied me down (literaly) and watched it... she'd been following it since it came out in Japan (as she can read kanji), and I've been addicted ever since <3

I love this chapter and I still feel so sorry for Byakuya and can't wait to see poor Gin. I also can't wait to see Aizen's reaction with the royal blood.

Fantastical as always! Thank you!

I want you to know I simply love your stories. But I'm having a problem finding your beta's story that ties into this one, Consolation Prize (of Victory). If there is any way you can send me a link to it, i would be very appreciative! My email is Silver-sinner@hotmail.com Thanks, and I look forward to more chapters!!

I enjoy the little family moments and am steadily growing more fond of Karin as the story continues. I will admit her attitude at times put me off a bit but I will say she is more of a 'Jerk with a heart of gold"(TV tropes) and had to get a little hard to survive. Byakuya just isn't going to get a break is he lol? If he is not being beaten or raped he is being humiliated in another fashion. Also would Orihime be able to fix his throat so he could talk again? I imagine it would not be too hard to hide that from a halfwit like Yammy. And sorry for all the questions but I recall in part one you mentioned in passing that Soi Fon's muteness came from the repeated abuse from Barragan, so is their a way to fix that as well? I now I have constantly badgered you about her but she just happens to be my favorite character from the show/manga and I have been curious too see whats going on in her head since part 1 of POV and while her situation is not as bad as Byakuya's it is definitely a close second given her close proximity to Barragan all the time. Now THERE is someone with a lot of pride and knows how to hold a grudge and I am sure she would just love to give the Segunda Espada a nice dose of Nigeki Kessatsu. Also how often does Ggio have to refresh his claim on her? He is by no means a weakling I am sure, but as a captain she still greatly outclasses him in terms of ability and Reiatsu and if Yoruichi was intending to rescue anyone who would be willing to leave, especially a Captain class fighter it would make sense to wait for either Soi to break the claim herself or it wore off and nab her and run. And given their past has Yuro even appeared to her yet or is she keeping herself hidden to all but Karin? Again, sorry for all of the questions, I am a curious lad and your story has me hooked.

Now on to the question you asked. I discovered Bleach really by accident and at the time was just getting into anime. I came into it around the fight between Ichigo and Byakuya and was hooked and then decided to go back and read the manga to catch myself up and have been a fan ever since.

-waits patiently for next chapter-

Yay good chapter ^w^

I first found out about bleach while watching adult swim I think I was waiting for Inuyasha and it was the new anime at the time.

Ah damn I missed the response ya gave to my review lol. Loved the chapter, but it just sucks how these once proud or in Rangiku's place free spirited individuals have to prostate themselves to their so called 'masters'. Any chance you could re-post the response to my last review in your next chapt and hopefully I catch it before it has to be deleted? If not, it's cool.

Or if it would be easier, perhaps you could send it to my email:

kadajclone@yahoo.com

if not, it's cool either way, I am just curious as to your response to what I wrote.

*SQUEAL*I was actually going back to re-read Prize of Victory and was pleasantly surprised to see the sequel up! I'm so giddy now I doubt I'll be able to go to sleep! Can't wait for the next chapter!

To pick favorite chapters is a bit hard. I enjoyed quite a bit and ended up looking forward to certain pairings after a while. Reading more about them even if they were sparse?

Tatsuki and Tesra surprised the heck outta me but I've grown to be rather fond of this pair now. I enjoyed how they developed, how they're practically the most 'normal' of the group. You made it work without forcing anything. Their chapters stood out to me.

Another set of chapters I remember reading more than once, the different PoVs of the attack on Yuzu and Karin from the later and Grimmjow's perspectives. A bit of brilliance there. It helped build the anticipation for the claim. I discovered this story around chapter 72... I read from 1-72 straight... Then waited patiently like everyone else.

But to say favorite chapters overall? It may be odd but my number 2 was the household changes for Nnoitra and Rangiku. I don't know how you've made that couple compelling but I wanted more throughout. Seeing him change even a little, subtly after time. These were characters I never thought much of in the actual series, or apart but together I just want more of, even if it doesn't end well. After looking at their personalities again I'm surprised to have not seen more of this pair. I'm looking forward to see what goes next for them.

And number one was the household changes for Toshiro and Hallibel. Having read this no less than six times I can say its well paced, the emotions realistic for characters, her ambition, plans and like all the espada, that more animalistic way of thinking were like word candy to me. You nailed Toshiro in my book, he wasn't as I've seen in some horrible instances a demure boy or an angry little man. None of the characters came out cliched, especially Hallibel which I've seen tendencies toward making her just a dominating masculine figure who just happens to be female.

Congrats on completion and your new one even if its late!

Your lazy reviewer, and in it to the end!
