he’s not sure why there’s so many  -----  he could have sworn the shinigami had taken care of most of the souls in karakura  (  or perhaps it was more or less his WISH  ;  his job was infinitely easier when the hollow population was low  ).  he has little problem taking care of them, firing arrows directly into their skulls && watching with satisfaction as they disintegrate  ...   it’s only when he detects another, less familiar reiatsu that he’s distracted. of all times for something he doesn’t recognize to appear, this has to be the most INCONVENIENT.
