Not set up as in recapping things but set up as in moving the pieces into place. Remember the last arc. It was several chapters before Kugo approached Ichigo, marking the first time there was an actual movement in the plot towards the what the arc was about. I think we are likely to see that here. Things will be put into place first before the arc starts moving.
