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.
