You're all forgetting one fact, there is a possibility of a greater villain. When Aizen talked about how he resented the spirit king, there is a question that should go in your head
- who is the spirit king?
- Why does he have so much power?
- Why did Aizen want to overthrow him, and what does the spirit king do?
- Why does no one question him or go against him except Aizen who attempted but technically never got close to him since he never got the chance to go fight him but he was planning to overrule.
- Did Aizen realize something?
- Did Urahara also realize awhile ago but chose not to respond as aizen did since he knew the outcome?
There's so many questions that need answering and this arc will be epic if Tite Kubo answers them in the right way. I think there's a possibility of Aizen coming back but in reality its best to come up with a stronger a better villain, one behind all the scenes. Cause in reality the villain isn't always seen so well, hes usually hidden among the chaos, and controlling what they feel like. This manga has tons of potential still and truthfully Tite Kubo should've realized this awhile ago instead of prolonging the Aizen arc so long. The time to finish that arc was unnecessary, and maybe only 4 years would've been needed. But nonetheless I think bleach will have a great ending if it explains all the necessary things.
Right now I'm quite unsure how Tite Kubo is ending this considering the new characters and Ichigo's analysis of the new enemies to be Ishida-like in terms of combat. Otherwise this'll be a good 5 years that's needed to end this and I can almost imagine every step that Tite Kubo needs just without the detail considering the fact I'm not him

but hopefully it answers all the questions I presented and more:
- Like what happened to Ichigo's mom?
- Why did Ichigo's dad quit being captain?
- Is there a relation with the spirit king?
- Did his mom really die to a hollow? And if so why? his mom could also see hollows so was she possibly a hollow?
- Is there a higher level of hollow? The higher they go the more human they become, is it possible there's hollows at a higher royal level who can hide their mask? reveal on command?
- Who's the real villain? Are hollows really that bad or is soul society the bad one?
Like one of the ideas in Defense Devil the angels were actually the bad guys. The reasoning was quite deep and you would have to read it to find out. But there's many things that come into play, who is Urahara? he was captain who escaped soul society etc. But that man seems to know too much sometimes, its like he could be the next villain for all you know. So many mysteries still surround him. Is he a secret royal guard possibly? he did take out Aizen after Ichigo semi weaken him. So many questions

and i know not all will be answered but i hope at least 70-% of them are and with good reason , in the end Ichigo will probably lose his powers or think he lost his powers and live a normal life and probably have kids etc. And hopefully they give a last chapter of the final arc showing the end of his life with a 1-3 page of the future him living normally.
