As I suspected, Chad's haunting absence is a plot element and not a deliberate attempt by Kubo to troll the fanbase. Maybe now people will hush up about him "forgetting" about Chad.

Very interesting chapter. But to be completely honest, Xcution's overall style is reminding me of that of the Bounts for some reason. They feel more sinister than the Visored, so I'm not getting that vibe some people seem to be getting. Their group is plainly being made out to be more sinister, and it certainly feels that way. Seems like the Hellfire Club for some reason. Nobody in the room resembles the guy that attacked Ishida, so that mystery still lingers.

As for their goal... I'm not quite sure why they would want to get Ichigo's powers back, but they definitely seem to have their own agenda.
