10 icons from chapter 204, some doubles; spoilers of course, if you haven't read it. You have been warned. 
Much love for Ikkaku. Much love for Yumichika, too. Keigo? Well, he looked kinda funny in this chapter. Frazzled, I suppose, would be a good adjective. Poor Rukia, too. That punch looked like it hurt. Ichigo better go kick Grimmy's sorry butt for doing that to her.
Ikkaku with Bankai is... well, bizarre, but somehow I had a feeling that would happen. No, I can't give you a good reason as to why I saw it coming. The strange daydreams I have in my head when I should be doing things like homework told me. Those daydreams are smart sometimes. Smarter than me, that's for sure.
Asuka is quite happy watching Ichi and Ikkaku beat up bad guys, but she wonders what has happened to Hitsugaya & his opponent (and Rangiku, too, but she didn't look like she was doing too much fighting...). And what about Renji? Does he not get a turn to show off? Or is he just going to mope along looking for Kisuke (who is probably too busyloving his hat meddling to care)?
And unlike the rest of the mopey fangirls who want Ishida to reappear out of oblivion, I have mostly given up being impatient. Kubo will bring him back when he feels like it. Or else he will drop him off a cliff when no one's looking and Ichi & crew will hear of his tragic death three weeks later when his Quincy!ghost comes to haunt them. Either way, it doesn't matter. I'm content to just read, watch, and wait. We'll get our dorky Quincy back (and his Quincy!father, too, who is surprisingly hot, for somebody's father o.0)
...
And now on to all that fun icon stuff.

EDIT: After considering it briefly, I decided to provide the cleaned, extracted versions of the manga scans I use for my icons from now on. I only saved a few of the ones from this set, but here they are. I hope they can save someone some time, because I know how much time and effort extracting manga images takes. Especially ones of Ichigo and other spiky-haired people. *pokes Ichigo*
So, here you go. I have no requirements or rules for using these; since they're not really my images I won't ask for credit or anything like that, and you can't really 'steal' them from me. If you would like to credit me for doing the work, I don't mind (obviously), but I won't make you do it. I just hope they help someone.
Rukia (had to edit out a screentone over her face for this one. Very annoying.)
Ichigo. His hair takes forever to extract -.-'
Keigo. Just because. Not a very large image; sorry!
Ikkaku... and Houzukimaru (did I spell that right? I think I did....)
And just because I could, here's a quick coloring of the Ikkaku scan. I already had it mostly finished from making my icon set, so I figured I mighjt as well finish, y'know? It only took me like two minutes, so it wasn't much trouble.
Use them if they're helpful to you, ignore them if they're not, and that's about it.
