I figured that Urahara would crack the Quincy Medallion eventually, so this was an important bit. And of course, I'm guessing the mysterious people mentioned in the chapter are surviving Arrancar, like Tesla, Grimmjow, Tres Bestias, Gantenbainne Mosqueda, maybe even Nnoitra or Starrk.

The Vandenreich bits bored me. Bambietta just comes off as annoying and insane rather than her penchant for killing handsome men being an interesting character quirk. Glad we got some more female Stern Ritters, but with all the over crowding it's clear that the vast majority of those revealed from here on out are going to be fodder. Old Man, Haschwalth, Askin, Bambietta, Bazz-B, and Nodt are safe from that, but the rest are just Gotei Fodder.
