A new SubShinigami isn't such a bad idea to start off a new arc. It was as if guy knew (as in, that meeting was no coincidence) that he had just met the joint savior of the world (this includes Urahara, who actually did it) and former Subshinigami Ichigo Kurosaki.

Ichigo's new laid-back attitude is amazing, although the Kiego-clothesline continues =D. 17 months is longer than the time (I dunno about the Dangai training) for which Ichigo was involved in the world of Shinigami. That's not such a long timeskip but it shows, like a partially healed scar.

By the way it's been going, I think Ichigo's going to somehow play supporting cast until the new guy or Urahara somehow, in proper Shonen style, bring his powers back (I'm still suspicious about Urahara and Isshin).
