I think Kira or another 3rd Division seated officer asked about it between them, when Amagai used it in action, but not even the captains seemed the least curious about it.

And the problem regarding where to put the filler arcs in the timeline is something I have to agree on. For most of the filler arcs, it was just awkward. Regarding the original story, there would be a problem already with the first filler arc about the Bounts. Aizen had just defected with Gin and Tôsen at the time, but he could have taken action immediately when the Bounts invaded SS, instead of waiting and building up his Arrancar army. And that's just the first logical crack.

@ IlanZSchor: I welcome the anime back, if from now it goes on ONLY about the 1000 Year Blood War arc and there's no more fillers. Even if we have to wait until 2015/2016 or whenever the arc and the manga is over, I'll welcome an anime adaption which by then will have a story of a few hundred chapters to follow. But resuming the anime is a lot harder since it will cost more and take a time slot from another one, with a bigger risk of not making enough profit.
