Bleach chapter 429 discussion

My thoughts on the manga is this: Kubo be trolling as usual. I have a feeling this story arc will just be about explaining the past of Isshin to Ichigo since we don't know why his dad is a soul reaper. It might also put some more background on Urahara (yah) that the Pendelum arc seemed light on telling us. I also have a hunch alot of main characters may end up dying, injured or powers taken away, but that is just my hunches.
