Well there are 2 options for the next few chapters in regards to Ichigo saving Gin. Number 1 is that he shows up and saves him, but that'd mean we just completely missed out on his training. Number 2 is Ichigo doesn't show, in which case we MIGHT see him training, but Gin will probably die. It's pretty much a lose-lose here T_T Hopefully Kubo will use his trolling powers for good and write a way around this little problem.

I think when Ichi finally shows up, whether Gin is alive or not, he probably won't save Gin. And it's all because Ichi still thinks Gin is on Aizen's side. Even if he shows up in time to save him, it'd just be in time to see one of his enemies slaying another.

Kubo, please, PLEASE let me be wrong on that. I want Gin to survive! Most people do!
