User blog comment:Lia Schiffer/422: The silent victory/@comment-1405841-20101001170935

Wonderful blog as usual Lia =D I think this chapter opened up more holes than those that were filled. I am on the side that feels Yammy is still alive though, but to what purpose could he serve now? I have no idea what Kubo is going to do with the story now (aside from the general ideas such as Royal Guard, another Turn Back the Pendelum arc, something regarding Isshin's past...) and if the Arrancar are even going to play any part in the next arc.

Really, I am wondering that..about the Arrancar. Are they completely overwith and we'll never see them again or what? Nel and Gantenbainne are alive for certain, Grimmjow was last shown breathing, Yammy is...well he's laying on his back and his dog licked him (I didn't see his eyes go white, for all we know the angle of the shot just made it seem that way). Then there's Pesche and Dondo...I don't know, if Kubo completely ignored these characters (especially Nel and Gantenbainne) then I'd question what's wrong with him...so I have a feeling they'll all play some sort of part in the upcoming "smaller arc" at the least and maybe in the final arc. Who knows...my dreams of Grimmjow turning face may come to realization.
