@Arrancar109, about that reason, it's a possibility that they needed his powers for whatever agenda they may have planned and for as to why they allowed his powers to advance is due to him being more powerful than those two (however this they may have not known) is because as I said they needed his powers and could probably not have taken until Ichigo brought it to surface. P.S since his former shinigami abilities began to integrate with his Fullrbing there may be a chance that zangetsu may make an appearance in the next chapter, although with the shinigami badge on Kugo's sword there could be a chance that the shinigami abilities could be taken as well, anyway no reason to read into my rambling I'm just looking forward to the next chapter.
