I was thinking on Bleach a lot today...and this chapter confirms it. Seems like a rehash of the last arc, as stated...let's see.


 * Ichigo starts off with some sort of problem with his powers (Arrancar arc had to do with his Hollow self, this one has to do with zero powers)
 * A group seeks to allow him to claim these powers, to fight on (First the Visored, now NSYNC)
 * Ichigo's going to act confused and then refuse them for a chapter or so, finally accepting them and going through about 10-15 chapters of training (that will most likely be condensed to show Orihime-on-crack like she has been for the past few chapters).
 * Ichigo regains his powers, new threat arrives (or old threat, maybe Arrancar didn't fall in a plothole?)...probably about 20 new baddies that all get beaten by the end of the arc, with maybe a return of Aizen or a new baddie. If Aizen doesn't return, then that means he's the best villain to survive the events of any Manga ever...since he's TECHNICALLY still alive and TECHNICALLY he had a crap ending if they don't bring him back (sealed with the Hogyoku forever, in bondage...KINKY BLACK TAPE BONDAGE...and eternal life, AWESOME RIGHT?!.....psh).

Overall, I'm not complaining! Lol, those sound like complaints right? No...just observations. I actually am pretty stoked for what's in store....and I don't mind the kind of drawn out chapters, as long as they lead to Ichigo (and Grimmjow, DAMN IT I WANT HIM BACK).

Here's the deal...if they bring Grimmjow back for me, they should bring Ulquiorra back for you! =D

You said the anime takes a break right? Does this mean a break from the story (as in a new filler arc) or a literal break ._.
