Even if you think you know the rules Kubo set for the Bleach universe, it's still his creation, and if he chooses to add to the complexity and depth of the story, then I don't see any problems with that. I'm sure that part of the reason why these late revelations appear too convenient to you, is that Kubo has a stock of ideas for the main characters. He then implements these ideas when opportunity presents itself, to keep the characters alive.

How would he keep readers interrested through the following 500 chapters, if they knew everything about the characters after the first 100? It's just common sense to use a blueprint, when you're building a structure of that size, and Kubo's laying the roof in the Bloodwar Arc. Unless he forgets some of the tiles, and the roof starts leaking, why not relax in the sofa, put your feet on the coffee table, and enjoy the show?
