Quoting from our spoiler page: "The Arrancar arc will end in Mid 2010. A short arc will follow; after that, a much longer arc will begin."

I have raised this idea before to one of the admins but now I'm growing more and more certain that I'm right. The "short arc" mentioned above is what we're seeing now. I suppose it can be called the "Deicide arc", it will end with Aizen's defeat; one way or another. The only question is when exactly it began; was it when the Deicide chapter (Chapter 399) or when Aizen and Gin, followed by Ichigo and Isshin leave fake Karakura?

That what I was thinking but with Ichigo losing his powers, to me that sound like the focus of a short arc. The Deicides were too choppy a transition for me to really believe that a new arc has begun but we will have to wait for Kubo to say something before we know the truth--God (Pray)  19:13, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Well, based on what it says in the spoiler page, the Arrancar arc was supposed to end in mid 2010. We're now at the last week of September which means there are 12 weeks and change left for 2010. Makes a lot more sense that it already ended in July, when Aizen and Gin moved into Soul Society. It was a bit choppy, as you say, but no other scenario is possible, timewise.

We now know that the Arrancar arc ended with volume 48 and we are in the shorter arc now. 13:29, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
