I have a mixed reaction about the Visoreds becoming captains again, especially since not all of their former positions were open (which, as many pointed out, left some of them missing in this chapter), as well as the way they saw themselves and the Gotei 13 at the conclusion of the Arrancar arc. And yeah, despite everything, Ichigo did respect Kugo and tried to understand him, so I can see why he wanted to bury him in the Human World.

Riruka committing suicide seems unlikely, but I can understand why she would leave. Kugo united them, but he was killed, Tsukishima was mortally wounded, Giriko was killed, and Jackie and Yukio left before anyone could track them down. There was practically nothing left for her.
