User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. 551 - The Burnt Offerings/@comment-1332195-20131003225551

This was a bit 'meh' for me, to be honest. So the Quincy who stole the Bankai are to fight the person they stole it from; they've just commited their first truly stupid act of the war. Nice conveniet way of giving them their Bankais back, but hey Status Quo is God (and not the band, before you start!).

Personally, I don't think Hitsu's going just yet; yes Hyorinmaru's snapped, which is usually a bad sign, but as stated above, Cang-Dumb has to kindly give him Bankai back. I suppose Kisuke trolling Mayuri is a return to form, which is a bonus. But yeah, I wasn't particularly impressed with this week's offerings.
