Ah, I can finally comment on Blogs again, this A/B testing is killing me. Anyway, there are definitely similarities between the beginning of this arc and the beginning of the arrancar arc. With Kugo though, it reminded me of the Chapter Black Saga from Yuy Hakusho.. Kugo looks so much like Sensui and then he has a substitute badge making. Its like the chapter black saga, new guy shows up (Kugo, Sensui) who runs a group of people (Xcution, Sensui's 7). The new guy is also the rare entity that the protagonist is (Substitute Shinigami, Spirit Detective). I think you can find similarities to anywhere if you really looked though. I mean everyone thought FKT was turning into the cell saga
