Just to make it clear, nobody ever said that the short arc was going to be about Isshin's past. Kubo just said that there was going to be a short arc and then a longer one, he didn't say what they were going to be about. The "Isshin's past-theory" was something people came up with, more in the lines of wishful thinking. Kubo did say that he wanted to reveal Isshins story, he never said when he would. We'll just have to wait and see.

Off-topic: Thanks to all of you who wished me a happy birthday! Love you! It's already 2 am in my country so happy birthday to me! Too bad we didn't get any Ryuuken or Tessai to spice this battle up, but the drama that is to come (hopefully) is totally worth it. I just hope Kanonji jumps into a hole and never comes back. I don't really hate him, but I don't see his place in this picture. Sigh.
