There probably wont be any enemies from the royal guard. Those super powerful people are there to protect the king. (if it is a girl and not a guy- i will laugh) They have no fight to pick with Ichigo. Maybe complain about the not-so-well-run soul society, but besides that they probably won't enter the series that much.

With hell there is a possibility, but i'm spectacle about it. The only time we see hell is when that one hollow was taken there. It was pretty much killed by being stabbed thought the middle. So unless the "managers" of hell come out and fight there is not much chance of contact. Maybe a hollow escapes or the "managers" somehow get loose. Hollow are probably to weak or unable to fight.

The most likely option is where Rukia goes back to save the friend she made in the Menos forest and Ichigo goes to help her. But overall there is little chance of actual contact.

I have a crack theory. What if the King comes out to defeat Aizen? Theres little chance but it could make an interesting battle.
