I binge-read the entire arc in June, but looking back at this year's manga, it wasn't too great. You have the fall of the Soul King, which was interesting, but otherwise...Grimmjow returned, only to get one-shotted. Two of the four elites were defeated after drawn-out battles by lieutenant deus ex machinas. One of them went completely to pot. Bazz vs. Jugram was good, but the Sternritter as a whole are still kind of...meh
