1. Who did kill Kirge? 2. Byakuya is supposedly dead, Renji and Rukia and Unconcious 3. They have their bankai stolen so its stolen, they probably have to find a way to get it back or maybe they die. 4. I know this threads old, Zanka no Tachi might destroy it, because its in Juha Bachs hands now. 5. Squad 0 is the royal guard composed of at least 1 individual, Kirio Hikifune. 6. Her true ability is something to do with that creature, as Bankais and Shikai have similar powers. 7. Ichigo will probably get out the jail, as its boring for the main protagonist to sit there for a many, many chapters. 8. Uryu is presumably in Karakura, he stayed behind when Ichigo went to Hueco Mundo 9. Nel and Co are still with Inoue Urahara and Sado. 10. Hallibels fraccion are probably incapacitated, Hallibel is captured. 11. No one knows their bankai from the viewers perspective...yet. 12. Mayuri i beleieved to be heading to the battlefield. 13. A sternritter no doubt. 14. Aizens background is a given, we know little about his history, like quite a few characters. Aizen is still involved. 16. These fights will probably happen "off screen" so to speak, i do believe this is still the beggining of the arc. Who knows, we may see this arc end in around 100 chapters and have this more heavily focused on the anime for action purposes? (who knows its an idea though as to why its progressing so quickly) 17. Kiras fate is unknown presumably badly, badly wound, or unconcious, maybe even dead. 18. Grimmjow is speculated by many to have killed Kirge although i think its another sternritter as Kirge did think about calling for help but had second thoughts, maybe he thought he would be killed for losing? 19. Yes they attacked Ichigo, and are patrolling Hueco Mundo. 20. Agreed. But i do believe there are at least 27, stern ritter, and stern ritter Y had a twin.
