I think the interesting thing about the past few chapters is that so far Kubo is essentially setting up a fight between these new "Stern Lichters" and Ichigo's group composed of Yoruchi, Chad, Orihime and Ganju (and probably whatever Royal Guard members survive that long). Be ready for the Plotkai people, it's coming. I personally want to see Chad vs. Gerard Valkyrie, I think that would be a good fight
