Loved this first look into Hueco Mundo, and I loved the introduction of Nel and her crew. Rukia and Renji’s appearances were sweet, but the immediate plan to split up to cover more ground was such a major plot convenience to further individual stories despite the fact that it would be smarter for them to stick together considering the strength of their enemies and being in unknown hostile enemy territory. I would have much preferred if they had all gotten forcibly separated somehow. However this criticism was mostly rectified as the antagonists even acknowledge this plan as a bad one. I liked the concept of the Privaron Espada, the three digit former Espada Arrancars that used to be among the most powerful. This volume made me appreciate the numerical numbering system the Arrancar use despite being a sometimes complex one. I thought that Ulquiorra’s explanation of framing Orihime as betraying the Soul Society and her friends while insisting it wasn’t an integral part of the plan and just out of spite was dark and very fitting for Aizen’s character. While I had some problems with some narrative choices in this one, I loved how this volume functioned as a deeper transition point into my favourite arc of the series.

I still think the art is beautiful, though some of the fight scenes are hard to follow, but I'm starting to get a bit bored with this arc. I wish things were progressing faster or differently. I also think it was a stupid call to split up in enemy territory when a single soul reaper has yet to completely defeat any of Aizen's lackeys. I feel like Orihime is playing into Aizen's plan if she tries to destroy the sphere. I don't know... I'm just not entirely enjoying the arc right now. I do think the hollows that Ichigo and the others befriended are cute though.
