In which Yumichika makes some bad choices, Uryuu makes some questionable choices, Hitsugaya makes no choices because Giselle is making choices for him, and Kurotsuchi makes some excellent choices.

Lethan apologizes for this one. Del doesn't. Enjoy :)

Really sorry about this, souls! Due to an editing issue, episode 76 has been delayed. We're putting this here as an insert so we can swap out the audio later, and that will allow us to move right on to episode 77. Thanks for understanding!

In this weeks episode Lethan & Nomi discuss how Tsukishima's power works and who it would impact, how Ginjo's character deisgn changed (Aizen Style) when he turns and how devestating it must have been for Ichigo to go through what he went through. :( Our poor wee boy.
