Well this arc is supposed to go for 4+ years, since Kubo apparently confirmed that this will be longer then Arrancar Arc. I am hope to see ALL loose ends tied-up and am assuming that since this is the final arc, Kubo will not introduce new loose ends.

I am also happy that the final antagonist of Bleach will be the "original" antagonists. For those of you who don't know, Kubo came-up with the Quincy as THE enemy of the shinigami way back when but instead of Quincy taking centre stage, all you got was Ishida and Ichigo do that duel thing during Agent of the Shinigami Arc and then Ishida pretty much joined Ichigo and even started working for Urahara Kisuke!

A lot of people I know were betting on the royal guards being the new antagonists for some reason. I tried pointing out that we have already had Shinigami vs Shinigami during Soul Society arc but these were Soul Society haters and you can't reason with haters period.

I was afraid that the final antagonists would be something new and ridiculous but I am glad instead Kubo has gone back to his original idea and brought back the Quincy and I hope that with this last arc, all of Bleach would become a coherent whole. Looking forward to it!
