Let's not forget Ichigo's dad as well as Uryuu's, I'm sure they play some pivotal part of the story, it's obvious Kubo has been planning the arc involving them for quite some time. The arc involving those two most likely will be the swan dance of the manga, as there isn't any more foreshadowing to another storyline than those two characters.
I actually had forgotten about those two.
God, Kubo is really bad about foreshadowing way too soon. The end of volume three, I believe, foreshadows the whole Arrancar thing, and it doesn't even happen ten volumes later!
