They still age, just a helluva lot slower. That fact they age differently didn't save Soifon's arm.

And while the Arrancar may be done for as a major enemy in the series it'd be stupid to write them off completely, they may appear here and there afterwards but nothing like this arc.

I honestly think Grimmjow is alive, and if he returns it won't be to start another war. Just settle his vendetta against Ichigo. And it seems everyone is forgetting Nel, she's Arrancar and an ex-Espada at that yet nobody seems to mention her when they claim the Arrancar are done. Who here believes that Kubo will write out a character like her?
