That was when Ichigo's father defeated rand fisher with that one blow and we basically had our first view of Ichigo's father aas a soul reaper. Ichigo's father stated something about captain call soul reapers being able to change the form of their swords or they would all be wielding swords the size of skyscrapers. Remember back to when Ichigo's father fought Grand Fisher in Grand Fisher's Arrancar form. I figure that they might have just let it pass seeing all of what Ichigo has done for them, but he does seem to have had been a captain or something. And specking of Ichigo's father they never stated if their is a problem or not with Ichigo's father and the other soul reapers seeing that he did abandon them and hid for all those years. And if Ichigo's sisters gained Soul Reaper powers after all their father is a soul reaper. Ichigo might be 18 or 20 when they start it again. The next season most likely will have to take place in the future.

All we really know to what I know is that Ichigo's father is a soul reaper who gave it up to be with Ichigo's mother. It would be great if they made a storyline that gives both of Ichigo's sithers strong powers and that we finally learn about Ichigo's father. I know that one of them can already see spirits and use her spirit energy to fight with. I hope that if they make a new season for Bleach episode 367 that they'll give both of Ichigo's sisters the power to see spirits and powers.
