I for one do not personally think and can never even assume that Aizen would do something so meaningless as to flee the battle and leave gin behind. Especially from the hints that their relationship is much more of a comradere than say Aizen and Tousen its been proven that Gin understands Aizen much better than anyone else and we see Gin even identifying Aizens emotions for him so I dont think thats possible, and at the moment Rangiku in no way or form has bankai (she was still trying to attain it when the arrancar first went to Karakura town) and is still slightly injured from her encounter with Allon if you all remember resulted in her left waist practically being obliterated in a shower of blood; and even though Kira healed her she is no doubt still slightly injured beyond repair at the moment, and before anything is said about Unohana healing Rangiku I think that unohana will attend to the more greviously injured such as Ukitake and the Captain Commander whom still might be suffering from his sacrificial kido. I do not think that Isshin will have any sort of Illusion canceling shikai or bankai, because he would have most likely already activated it rather than toy with the man whom took out at least 6 captains class shinigami single handedly and knowing the importance of the battle I dont think Isshin would hold back such an ability. What I do think though is for a little bit Isshin will impress us with his skill but we have to remember that he has just regained his own shinigami powers and even though he does obviously have some experience he is slightly rusty in the sense that its been awhile so I think Isshin will prove a nice opponent for Aizen much like commander yamamoto but not on the same level as Yama due to the fact that Yama even explained he has remained commander for so long because no shinigami has been stronger than him for the past 1000 years and yama has proven time and time again that he is not ignorant at all in the whearabouts of those around him, even when the Vizards appeared his intitial response was not shocked it was a cool suprise like "Oh this is where you were, I thought you were in soul society." and on the note that Ichigo using his hollow mask again to overcome I agree but it might have a large side effect if he uses it against gin for we have seen the mask seems to weaken him mentally and leaves him with a dark feeling of oppression, what my personal thoughts are is the apperance of possibly one more vasto lorde because from my own thoughts and the images presented to me it seemed that Ulquiorra was a vasto lorde even the silouthe of a vasto lorde looked a bit like his final released form and if he is the only espada with such a terrific ability as segunda etapa from what we know then it is possible Ulqiorra was a vasto lorde, so their might be others hiding that present themselves much like wonderwiess did (IN no way am I saying wonderwiess is a vasto lorde NO way..) and appear a bit and shock a few people. What I think will happen is the casual ichigo and gin fight continue on and the aizen and isshin fight continue on as well, but knowing kubo it is during these intense moments of change that he likes to twist our guts so we might return to the huenco mundo and possibly find that byakuya and kenpachi are having an extremely difficult time with yami, for after all he has grown monstrously huge and that is possibly when our first vasto lorde makes his appearance by killing yami in a simple dramatic way and then fighting with those two captains. THen from their we would have possibly one more or even two appear in karakura town, though not with the intent to help aizen but to satisfy their own curiosity as to the large amount of spiritual pressure that everyone has to definately feel is being released from that place
