I was making the point that, even though we are only one chapter into this so far, this new person with ties to the Substitute Shinigami, whether that be he knows of them are was once one, reminded me a lot of when Shinji first arrived. They both already knew of Ichigo before they had met, and they both are related to some power that is rare that Ichigo has (Visoreds related to his hollow powers, this new guy relates to his (previous) substitute status). I don't have anything else to compare them to each other, so I can't really say anything else about the new guy yet; It just seemed similar to me was all I was trying to say. We'll just have to wait and see how things play out.
