Another woman gets kidnapped and back to a rescue mission? Didn't want to try something different than last arc?

Saying that it is cool to see the three original homies teaming up to get back their girl. The power ups are set, some secrets starting to leak out like Ichigo's father and someone else's father teaming up. We see the Soul Reapers are called back so it's up to ichigo and the boys to take on the big bads now. I'm wondering how the hell they'll win seeing as the power levels still seem at a way disadvantage. Even so, this was a decent set up volume into the next major arc even if it's a bit of a Daja Vu feeling.
