This week, Del and Nomi dive in to some heavy-hitting questions. Just how lonely is Starrk? Who knew Kyōraku had such a ruthless streak? And who knew Hachi could kick so much ass?! Who knew Urahara Kisuke could pack such a punch to the plot without even being present on the battlefield??!

This week, Del and Nomi talk about Barragan's legitimately scary release, Soi Fon's huge, flashy bankai, and the ongoing scuffle between lone wolf Starrk and everyone's favorite flirtatious husbando, Kyōraku.

(For the record, Ukitake can jump in and defend us anytime, because we on this podcast definitely don't have any pride.)
