Lol Ishida is jealous of Inoue infatuation with Ichigo that what you are implying, just kidding, anyway I thought he regretted he abides Inoue's request to take her up Las Noche and then see all gory about Ichigo turning hollow and killing Ulquiorra even stabbing him, then this techniques is typically use by any mangaka, there are always someone narrating for some scene or plots it became past tense even for an hour or 30 minutes at that point of the scene we see it has already happen the narrator narrates and it comes back again to the present etc its common practice by Japanese cartoonist even Chinese, narrating and flashback.
