Momo's zanpuktou is considered fire-element I believe. As for Kira's (third squad vice-captain) it does have a funny shape, but it doesn't just cut. Whatever it touches doubles in weight with each blow they take.

Oh yeah, Chad fights Kyoraku. I'd almost forgotten about that. Its a pretty interesting fight, but I remember screaming that I'd rather be watching the fight with Kenpachi and Ichigo. Its pretty hard to not go into detail and spoil things for you. My posts seem so...uncaring.

Yeah, the fight with Ichigo and Kenpachi is pretty cool. I can't wait to discuss it in here. I really like Kenpachi, heck I like almost all the shinigami. The only one I don't like is the 12th division captain. He's just too "slimy" for my liking. I hate the way treats his vice-captain, and what he makes her wear! ugh.
