Personally, I thought this chapter would progress a little more like this:

Ichigo reverts to Shikai so the blade fixes itself (though the irreversible damage clause on Bankai is an interesting plot point, don't get me wrong) and talks about how Haschwald is stronger than Ichigo in Bankai currently. He then thinks back on Juhabach's words about his mother being a Quincy and his lineage, and theorizes that if he wants to get stronger, he will need to utilize his Quincy powers to their fullest possible extent. Then he goes and meets the Zero Squad and such.

Of course, Kubo would never do something so simple.
