Grimmjow Jaggerjack

Grimmjow made his comeback in Chapter 500 when he bisected Kirge in his SEALED state.

We also see him again in Chapter 518, when he and Ichigo recognized each other's voices and him saying, " Kurosaki, you bastard " and the former asking Urahara why he's working with him and Kisuke stating that he made a "contract" with this person.

And finally, in Chapter 544, in the second-to-last page we can CLEARLY see someone's silhouette behind Chad. And this can only mean that its the person that saved Urahara and who he made a contract with.

Unfortunately, it seems that Grimmjow, Chad and Inoue aren't heading for Soul Society anytime soon due to the fact that they are apparently saving Arrancar..But, HOPEFULLY preparing an Arrancar Army which could be a huge benifit to Soul Society.

Remember, he can use a Garganta/Descorrer for travel to and from Hueco Mundo.

--- Zaraki Kenpachi

Ranging from Chapters 523-527, Zaraki faces off against the 1st Kenpachi, Unohana. Throughout this fight, Kenpachi is seemingly "removing the shackles" in which he psychologically placed on himself after his first encounter with her, when he was just a child.

In Chapter 527, it is shown that his Zanpakuto is finally beginning to speak to him and is about to tell him its name.

In the series, it's stated that knowing one's Zanpakuto's name and not knowing it, boasts a huge difference in power and combat capabilities. Not only that, but now since he's finally beginning to learn the "Arts Of Killing" (as stated by Kyoraku in Chapter 520)..Kenpachi is going to be a problem for the Wandenreich.

During the Soul Society Arc, he stomped on 2 Captains with their Bankai's activated..without having to take off his PRE-Time Skip eye patch.

To further testament his power, he took out 3 Sternritters, simultaneously, in SHIKAI, without having to take off his POST-Time Skip eyepatch..which apparently absorbs 10x more Reiatsu than the previous one.
