Bleach 373

We get to see Rose's sword release which is Kinshara. It is a whip with with a metal spike ball at the tail. His special sonata attack is an AOE that covers a big area. They both are ambush by additional wolfs, which exploded upon contact. Starrk doesn't give them any time to cover and assaults them again once they escape the smoke. This time the blow was severe because their masks have come off from the previous blow. Love and Rose aren't ready to give up yet, but Starrk thinks he's got them defeated. While going in for the final blow, Starrk gets stabbed from behind by a mysterious blade.

Thoughts: Although Starrk's wolf-ceros infused with his and Lilynette's souls are strong, they are the type of attack that won't ever kill anyone in shounen anime. If the attack creates a huge cloud of smoke, the target is bound to survive with unfatal injuries and parts of clothing missing. Anyways, the interesting part of this weeks chapter was the mysterious blade that stabbed Starrk. This must be a from a high level individual because, if we remember, when Kyoraku sneaked attacked Starrk from behind he easily dodged it. At the moment, i can't think of who this blade belongs to. Its dark and sinister shape along with the unBleachesque backstabbing assault leads me clueless to who this might have came from. Possibly one of his own allies that he trusted?
