Okay, so I *definitely* noticed Kisuke's hands when he was fixing Kon; it looked just like that technique from the manga, which made me wonder if we were getting a sly Bankai hint right there. Finding out Nozomi and Kageroza came from the same person really twisted things for me, making Oko's motivations feel way more tragic and not just evil for evil's sake, and I actually kinda felt for the guy.
