It's picking back up where it left off before they went to fillers to get a head start on the new eps and take a break.
Ichigo just pwned Grimmjow(i think thatz how u spell it, not sure) pretty mush everybody else is screwed; Rukia got pretty fucked up while taking on an espada that formed from the hollowized body of her former superior officer, which had retained all of its memories and combat abilities, so it pretty much fucked with her head while trying to slice her up. Chad (Sado) had just finished totally pwning a privion-espada with his pimpin hand of death with the freaky-awesum punch blasting a demonic evil skull onto the wall behind whatever it hitz ability he haz when he got jumped by the fifth ranked espada and got his ass handed to him on a silver platter without even getting one shot in edgewise. Ishida and Renji are currently entering round two with an espada (i forget which ranking he has) after unloading pretty mush everything they had into him and doing little more than irritating him a bit, they erred on the better side of valor and tried to make a strategic withdrawl only to find themselves back where they started with the espada waiting for them. And now Ichigo, who has successfully rescued Inoue, needz to go save everybody elsesz assez, but he getz interupted by the fifth ranked espada, the same one that took out Chad (Sado).
Thats pretty mush the story up till this point. If I left anything out (which I probaly did, this is just a skeletal outline of the plot) feel free to quote and insert as needed.
