User blog comment:Xilinoc/Ch. -547 - The State of Affairs op. 1 - "Expectations"/@comment-29183117-20130724211043

This is shaping up to be the mother of all arcs, and I couldn't be more excited. One thing I'm waiting to see is who else is there with Chad and Orihime. There were two figures behind Chad at one point; I'm fairly certain one was Grimmjow, but who was the other? Harribel's Fraccion plus Loly and Menoly seem likely, but what about the other Arrancar who may still be alive? Gantenbainne was healed by Unohana so he might be there, and there could be others whose fates were left ambiguous, like Rudbornne or Tesra(I doubt he survived Kenpachi's attack, but with Kubo you never know). Just have to wait and see, I guess.
