I'm still waiting for lots of answers.
What was the talk about "not opening the gate of hell"?
There are still some arrancars in hell aren't they? And that hell-guy shuren?
Didn't they want to use Ichigo to open the gate of hell? Maybe they're appearing again someday...
And about that necklace... ginjo had the same...
Where the hell is gin? is he even still alive?
and the MOST important thing: anyone ever saw Kon again? :D he just vanished :D
I swear, at least give me one answer the next 2 or 3 chapters... please..."not opening the gate of hell"? Are you talking about this special chapter

. If you are then it was just a filler ad for latest Bleach movie.

And I was wondering about Kon too, surprised I haven't seen him in Urahara's shop. Instead, we're getting two new characters that feel a bit too much like replacements for both Rukia and Kon...

Thats what is interesting: WE ASSUME, that Ivan IS part of the same group that did all that stuff or who approached Yamaji in the end. What if he is not? Maybe he is former or renegade RG, coming to warn them? Or some friend of Ryuuken's ?
What if the person who approached Hyori and vaizards who did NOT rejoin SS was someone else?
Also what is happening in SS and HM seems awfully like a purge for me. As if RG is cleaning up the place, to reset it all so to say - clean up those pesky liberals, build SS from the ground up
Notice how they hit exactly TWO places that Ichigo has changed with his actions? Halibel and Nel are in control of HM(with mayuri having labs there too) thanks to Ichigo and SS is changing thanks to Ichigo too.
Also what is interesting is that they are masked - which connects nicely with Ikaku's implication that those civilians were gathered by "their own" - what if "Royal Guards" blend in into the SS existing there and monitoring stuff? They would need masks to protect their real identities then.
That would fit with Aizen calling Urahara "SK's agent" (or something like that) also it would have a huge shock potential of revealing some important existing characters as villains.
-Ivan is against the black-masks... I do believe that.
-Behind the black-masks we'll see some familiar faces... very interesting theory, I'm willing to buy that.
-The black-masks are currently working FOR the Sprit King... can't grasp that idea simply because of the Tearing. Destroying Mayuri's effort to uphold a barrier and upsetting the balance of souls just doesn't feel like something the Spirit King would want.
You are assuming the black mask are the one upsetting the balance of souls.
In both case this can be justified anyway.
If they are the one that upsetted the balance on Spirit king's order it is because he is thinking that lately SS has become to conceited for it's own good.
Spirit king has been alive much much much longer than SS, SS era is just a blink of eye to him and he probably saw many federation alike to it and he probably crushed as much when they started to get too independant from him.
SS is becoming more and more liberal by the day and their reach is only getting further, it's not an exageration to say that they might be a potent problem in the future to deal with so destroying this system now could be a very probable decision.
If they aren't the one that upsetted the balance then they are probably looking for the ones that did (Aka Ivan's group in this case). It is possible that these black masked person approached Yamamoto with no intention of fighting. Order from higher must be given by someone and it may be possible that they are here to use SS's power for finding the group that upset the balance.
That's what I like about this chapter, things aren't clear, no side is either black or white yet and the story could go everyway from now on.
