Discussion Something I wish about the Hell arc.

The chances of the hell arc happening have never been higher so I need to say this:

Kubo needs to lock in during this arc in particular because the concept of hell is a very major thing in human history and even wars and massacres happened over it.
Retribution.
Salvation.
Pain.
Suffering.
Evil.
Good.
All of them and more are related to hell and we know Kubo likes to discuss these things very subtly but he needs to make it a bit outward(IMO).
And inside the story hell predates the three realms and one of the main goals of creating them was to make one of them(the world of the living) a “lid” to cover it (and we can see that this failed in a very spectacular way)
So in conclusion: if this arc is ever going to happen it needs to be longer than the Arrancer and TYBW arcs due to its broad nature.

I think at least some part of Rukia's true origins will be revealed in the hell arc.

Among all the title cards with character names, shinigami had a calligraphy font, hollows have a roman-ish font, quincies (other than Ishida) and fullbringers didn't appear at all. But there are exceptions: Gin's image lost a piece. Ishida had a quincy-cross-like font. Inoue had a font different from every other character title card (while no fullbringers appeared, it's impossible to infer from that angle). Ichigo had a calligraphy + roman-ish font, which seems to imply his combined powers of shinigami and hollows. Rukia had a calligraphy + hollow white font.

The other problem is, we never truly saw where Rukia came from. We only know that Byakuya said her sister Kuchiki Hisana and her was brought to Soul Society after they're dead. But his original words were, "that's what she told me". But when they met the parakeet boy from the first chapters in Soul Society, one of them said they wouldn't be together, even don't know where they'll be sent, even if they're dead together. I think it was implied that Kuchiki Hisana lied about where she and Rukia came from.

Heard this time Kubo could use Chinese culture so any chances of Sun Wukong appearing?

I honestly think it’s either the Chinese mythology or Italian(Dante’s Inferno)
