I don't think the zero squad will be showing up either, just because there are some many characters running around as is, it would just make things more confusing. And characters would have to take a back seat to make room for the new ones. Also, the zero has always been considered a group of former, but powerful, captains that were promoted. I wouldn't say they were on the same level as Yammamoto or Aizen, but they could probably stall Aizen longer then the G13 did. Hey, they may have also never seen Aizen's shikai release so it's power might have no effect on them initially.
