Chad and Orihime are perfectly fine and still in Ichigo class I suspect, through they might be up to something. I think Orihime is going to be over her crush on Ichigo now and I strongly suspect she’s going to have had some character development told via flashback in a way that adds to the drama.
I think the next time we see Rukia it be either as parallel plot to Ichigo or very close to the end of arc. Regardless of how we get there I'm pretty sure Rukia will be Ichigo cavalry in the final battle. The scene will be very shippy and Rukia will reveal or say something surprises Ichigo.
My best bet on a well earned promotion to vice captain and/or notable improvement in her fighting ability. I doubt she have acquired banki (KT saving that way for a rainy day :) ) But new dances or better kido seem very plausible.
A cool new hair style is also up there in the plausibility states. Talking of appearances, the next time we see Renji (who might turn up with Rukia) I think he have a new pair of shades... they won't last long >.<.
Strictly SS wise I think the big question is if the exiles have returned and if so what changes have they caused in the power structure? Also will Hitsugaya screaming and immaturity in the final battle caused him to be demoted and possibly gone into a downwards spiral in attitude? It be a nice way to add tension to the plot and give him some character development.
I'm also thinking that Soifon and Urahara could well be together now as well :) The reason I feel that this may well be the case is that her deal Hachi to get Urahara sealed behind a barrier will not have gone the way she wanted it too (he's too devious!) and having it end in her seduction could be both funny and touching.
