Ikkaku: Defeated by Poww, and Kira who has tending to his wounds, was taken down by Aizen. Shuuhei: Shocked by Tosen's dead. And the guy has taken too many blows. He had his moment already, he killed Tosen, I doubt he'll do much more in this battle. Omaeda: For blood's sake, he couldn't even kill an Arrancar, and you expect him to face Aizen? Yeah, sure. Sasakibe: Maybe, he's gotta be lieutenant of the first division for something, but there's nobody else in condition to fight, he alone can't do much if Ichigo could take him down with the shake of his hand.

Shunsui and Soifon have fought a lot already, they are too wounded by their previous fights and we don't know where these slashes hit them or how deep they were, but the last we heard from them (variating from "They fall, they scatter, etc") makes me think at least they won't get up unless they're especifically healed. I already said I have a vain hope to see Shinji fighting again, but I don't see it happenning after the Ennetsu Jigoku scene.

Now my question is HOW do you modify an Arrancar to counter Ryujin Jakka? 'Coz then, why didn't Mayuri Modify a... dunno, shinigami, like Nemu, whose zanpakuto could counter Kyoka Suigetsu? Aizen makes it seem so natural and easy, but when you think of it, I mean... "Hey, mr. Sotaicho! Lend me some of your zanpakuto's reiatsu so I can experiment on it!" The more I think of it, the more absurd it seems... maah, I'm just gonna stop thinking then, and hope Kubo can explain next week. At least come up with a good excuse.
