Chapter 2
Very interesting philosophical start for Ichigo and Rukia. Ichigo being unwilling to be self-sacrificing for souls, and Rukia is so self-sacrificing that she's stripped away her own power to do that. Who knows how long Ichigo will feel a debt?

... feels no guilt is very striking to me.
43-51 Ichigo's heartbeat sets the pace of the fight, back to tense moments until Rukia starts thinking about his immense power. Showing that Rukia is quick-thinking and resourceful, while Ichigo is powerful and deliberate.

... instance of the monster making noise was on page 13, but Rukia and Ichigo only recognize it on page 23.
26-27 Beautiful use of a page turn to make me think Ichigo broke his arm.
26-35 In these, large silent panels, the onomatopoeia, when read as dialog, gives a slow, tense idea to the fight, which is broken by the moment Rukia slides in and talks.
