It does make sense, the use of "again" since you scolded me for figuratively nearly throwing myself from the top of a building on the initial entry (god, I was so edgy that day), but that's really not important.

The difference with the SS and the Arrancars is that no Shinigami has died yet (maybe some anonymous here and there, those 12 division Mayuri killed to get to Orihime, but no Captain or Vice Captain, noone significant to the story), while, with some exceptions, most Arrancars, especially the important ones (the Espada) are already dead. And unless Orihime goes "I'll go Soten Kisshun Maxima and revive everyone even if I die in tha process!!" (never gonna happen).

The only significant Arrancars left, besides Grimmjow (I'm not counting Yammy, I doubt he'll survive Byakuya and Kenpachi, and if the situation calls for it, Kurotsuchi is still in HM) are Tesla and... Tesla, yeah, and only because he was Nnoitra's Fraccion, he's got not much left to offer. Loly and Menoly were never great characters, and the only great thing they did was beat Orihime (why oh, why didn't they poke out her eye when they could?) Not even mentioning Szayel's Fraccion (wait, I already did), Gatenbainne may have a debt to Unohana for healing him, but we don't know if he has a code as Grimmjow does. Even if he did, as a fighter, he can't offer much, and as character, he wasn't great deal. Those three unnamed Arrancars may never show up again, for all we know, they could be prototypes, when the Espada were not fully developped in Kubo's mind. I mean... Aizen wanted to form the Espada out of pure Vasto Lorde, if they were Vasto Lorde, those would've been made Espada instead of the Adjuchas and Gillian (in Aaroniero's case).
