Okay, Urahara(and to the extent everyone) is clearly guiding Ichigo into finding out the truth behind the Soul King, so he could decide by himself what he wants to do. Still suspicious of what is going on with HM, though. So he will most likely "reforge" his sword and have to run away from the palace.
So Ichigo is pretty much confirmed to be part from the "disgraced" Shiba royal family - which opens a LOT of possibilities on what exactly caused the disgrace - was it something as simple as Isshin running away with a quincy-Masaki, was it Royal-Guard-Isshin somehow also defying some order, or was it something else entirely.
SERIOUSLY did not expect the rest of Shiba twist with Ginjou, which is great, as it seems Kubo is ready to start dropping the bombshell reveals of the truths behind various mysteries and hints that have already been placed.
I am seriously happy that FB arc characters are back.
Easily 5/5.

Grimjaw is back baby, this time it's certain. Not to mention the X-cutioners as well? And they are allied with Ganju of all? Ganju..Ginju...uncle.....nyahhh it can't be.
Remember how Ginjou baited Ichigo with info on his father? well, maybe he was not lying. not to mention how he said that Ichigo reminds him of someone he knew in the past.

The Full bringers died, but ended up in the Soul Society as spirits. Makes sense. I'm surprised that was the first time a plot point was brought up, since we haven't really had main humans die up til this point.
Way to go. It was so long since this was brought up that I didn't think of it.
I am not sure that works that way with people who are already sort-of spiritual beings. We'll have to wait and see I guess, but this is certainly intriguing.
