You forgot the 5th group: Isshin, Urahara, Yoruichi, Urahara Shop characters, and probably some unknowns... They clearly have some ulterior motives of their own.
And what about a 6th group? The Quincy's and whatever motives Ishida's dad has, and remember that Ishida can't no longer be with Shinigami's so he can't be with Ichigo.
So maybe, a 6th way battle royal? Of course, you can't expect the Isshin group to fight the Ichigo group, but who knows.
^maybe it's a 6-way...but, i think Ishida will be with the Myster Machine b/c of his role in the series (Ichigo's companion). But I could be wrong and the 'Rise of the Quincy' could make for a cool new facet of the anime.
As for Urahara and co., I see them as floaters or go betweens. I agree that their motives are unknown other than Urahara probably wants to see his creation destroyed once and for all and not used for ill. Therefore, I guess I would lump them in with Ichigo and company. 4-way battle for sure.
Currently watching: One Piece, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi,
The 12 Kingdoms, and Soukou no Strain (kinda)

Ishida's seeming betrayal of his friends for power reminds me of another black haired guy from a different anime who just happens to have the same VA...
Man, I can't get over how cool it is to have both of my favorite Japanese VAs in the same anime now! I hope that at some point Hirako and Urahara will meet up and hilarity will ensue. Listening to Hirako pretty much brings back to mind every funny Vash-moment in Trigun. There's a fine line (in my mind, anyway) between "funny" and "annoying/obnoxious", and having Hirako and Keigo in the same scene this episode exemplifies that point pretty well. I think, by default, I have a new favorite character.
This new girl makes me laugh too (finally, I recognize the blonde girl from the Bleach boob-size chart!!). The way her eyes were drawn in the scenes where she was hitting Hirako also made me laugh for some reason.
I'm also glad that Isshin finally mentioned Masaki, even though he didn't really hold a grudge against Grand Fisher. Given everything else, this arc really is shaping up to be exciting. Can't wait.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Just because Ishida can't have anything to do with Shinigami doesn't mean the Quincy and Shinigami goals aren't the same. He always seems to bend the rules since Ichigo isn't really a proper Shinigami.
Might have the same goals, but that didn't stop the Shinigami from exterminating the Quincy in the past.
guess it boils down to nobody likes competition. it seems the second half of bleach has finally come round to start
Don't you remember that the Quincy were screwing up the natural order of the universe. The Shinigami may be arrogant but I think the reason they wiped them out was the soul imbalance aspect. Anyway who cares about Ishida...didn't anyone get curious after seeing the people from the preview?
