The 2/3 flashback thing was a joke, Sal. But, the fact is that we got some insight into characters during Hueco Mundo's time on panel. Sometimes, that backstory was grossly disproportionate to the time they got onscreen (we got a ton for Nnoitra, but barely any for Ulquiorra, for example). Even without backstory though, it is undeniable that these earlier characters were more fleshed out. We saw them fight, got details on their abilities, and learned about their personalities on a more than trivial level. The Cheer Squad, by comparison, is practically unknown.
