There have been a couple signs of Kubo being rushed along during certain parts of this arc (ending of Kenpachi vs. Unohana, the second Auswählen, the end of Jugo vs. Bazz), so it wouldn't surprise me if this sort of thing was meant to take place, but had to be cut - much like the Forest of Menos thing.
