I long forgotten Ishada, as I figured he wouldn't show up until the war started, mainly because of what his dad asked of him, and he would spend all that time training, too.
Ichigo didn't seem to care much about his absence either. I know I would notice someone being gone, if I knew them in real life and killed hollows, and going to a place called "Soul Society" to rescue someone. LOL =P
Sado is just awesome. His destructive power is already really great, now with speed, he's a very formidable force! He's cool.
Was his body all black, too, or was that just the right side, with the arm, that made it look that way?
Anyways, this is going to be awesome. I predict Ichigo will fight Grimjow in Heuco Mundo, and kill him. LOL Ishida will pair with Sado to topple a new character within the Espada, or one of them will take out a very powerful one that we've already met, Yammy.
Your thoughts?
