This arc is about Uryu, therefore he will play no part in it whatsoever. The Soul Society arc was said to be about Rukia. She just sat in a cell the entire time. The Arrancar arc was said to be about Orihime, she just sat in a room the whole time. The Lost Substitute Arc was said to be about Sado, he showed up in all of maybe 5 chapters. So, following Kubo's pattern of arcs about characters, Uryu will not be seen ever.
