User blog comment:Xilinoc/Chapter 529 - Everything but the Rain, "The Rudiments"/@comment-1332195-20130306200717

Not a bad chapter; someone here noted that Ichi's acquisition of a zanpakuto was different. Thankfully, Kubo hasn't forgotten that fact. And we see Rangiku trying to masquerade as a harder worker than at present; maybe she's hides it less nowadays cause she knows she'll get away with it.

The version I've read says Isshin's clan head; I'd wager him losing his powers and the captaincy, or the circumstances surrounding it, is the reason for the Shibas losing their noble house status.

And during the timeskip, Hitsugaya has decided to restyle his hair back to his 3rd seat days it seems. Dunno which I prefer.
