Everyone seems to think the party entering is Ichigo or the Royal Guard, but I'm not sure about either of those. I wouldn't be surprised if it's someone like Uryu or Yoruichi or maybe the Visored. It seems a little early to bring Ichigo in, and if it was the Royal Guard, what's the point in spoiling their appearance?

I think it will be someone that has been declared a war potential, and the Vandenreich decide to step back and regroup. Considering the fast pace of the arc so far, I wouldn't be surprised if we take a break from the battle, to let both sides lick their wounds and so we can be introduced to the Vandenreich better.
