I still wonder what the whole point was of bringing specifically Rukia, Renji and Byakuya to the Royal dimension. I can understand Ichigo since he's pretty much the most special important person in Bleach. But why specifically the other three? All three of them are pretty much the closest friends to Ichigo among the Shinigami. But I mean unless they are planning to bring every other shinigami who doesn't know their true zanpaktou power or whatever, then why bring just those three? Especially considering Rukia trained with them and got a power boost, but she still wasn't able to beat one of the sternritter, so why bring her at all? I can understand Byakuya and Renji since they are captain level and have Bankai.
