What is happening is obvious. They're taking Ichigo and all closest to him so that they can reveal that he's the lost child of the Spirit King. Then they'll tell him that his meeting to Rukia wasn't mere chance, and that he's somehow a Kuchiki too, because wth, the world is in ruins, but taking Ichigo to the Spirit King is more important than rebuilding the Soul Society that keeps the balance of the world.

I kind of liked the chapter, but I'm hating the pacing, what's with the Zero Squad popping up and then taking off like that. My hope resides in finally discovering whose sword it was that threatened Urahara nearly five months ago. Hoping it's Grimmjow and that he's grown his hair long, because I need something to get my interest up again.
