Welcome to the Fullbringer Arc - which is the last animated arc before Thousand Year Blood War drops in October! 

This week, Del and Lethan kick things off with a few hard-hitting questions. Who is Ginjo Kugo, and why does he ask Ichigo to investigate his own father? How well is Ichigo really coping with the loss of his soul reaper powers, and how much does he really miss his friends from the Seireitei? Will Ryuuken ever be a good dad to Uryuu? What do we think about Tatsuki's new mullet? And where the heck is Chad?!

Rest in ploosh, Kaname.
