With flashbacks, foot panels, a surprise twist that spans an arc of its own and a counter-twist that brings you back to the main arc, with a very "I bet you had forgotten about me" air about it.
Signature stolen by a horde of carnivorous bunnies. It is an unscientifically proven fact that they are attracted to signatures which break the signature rules.

What do you mean by 10 years? There were no 10 years ever mentioned in that news.

info
Spoiler for Week 1- Unohana, Yamamoto and other seniors:
Captain of the First Division – Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni
A softer Captain Commander Yamamoto
Commander of the entire Gotei 13. Lost his arm due to a sacrificial kido… But did he also change inside!?
Tite Interview
Q: What about Genryuusai’s left arm?
Kubo: He only has his right arm now.
Q: Is that all that’s changed?
Kubo: I think Genryuusai wouldn’t change much from his current state if he trained. Wouldn’t it be strange for someone who’s lived for over two thousand years to change over a period of 17 months? However, he does have unseen, inner changes.
Captain of the Second Division – Soi Fon
Following the deadly battles with Aizen and the Espadas, Soi Fon changed her hair during the 17 month period. Perhaps because the Second Division prizes quickness, her hair is now shorter.
Losing her left hand during the battle with Barragan.
The Second Division Captain, whose duty is assassination, lost her left hand during the battles at Karakura town. Thanks to the top healing skills of the Gotei, it has now been restored.
Tite Interview
Q: What happened to the hand lost to “aging?”
Kubo: Soi Fon’s left hand has been healed.
Q: What about her change in appearance?
Kubo: Her hair has changed a little. Speaking of changes, I also wanted to change Yoruichi, but her current look really suits her, so it’s difficult for me.
Captain of the Third Division – Otoribashi Rojuro
Rojuro has returned to his same position from a hundred years ago. Same as TBTP, his look is modeled on that of a western gentleman. His hair has also become more refined.
The lieutenant of the Third Division is…
Kira remains the lieutenant of the Third Division. How well does he complement his new captain!?
Tite Interview
Q: Rojuro has rejoined the Gotei 13.
Kubo: Rojuro and Izuru suit each other very well, so I decided to put Rojuro into the Third Division. I should add that Shinji returned to the Fifth Division, and Kensei returned to the Ninth.
Captain of the Fourth Division – Unohana Retsu
Unohana, who will finally turn her zanpakuto against the enemy and enter battle.
The Captain of the Fourth Division, who has the special duty of healing and is the most senior captain next to the Captain Commander, will finally enter battle, and release her reiatsu & zanpakuto in the new arc.
Tite Interview
Q: Unohana will finally fight?
Kubo: In the next arc, I’ve decided that Unohana will enter the battlefield. Her zanpakuto’s true form will also be revealed. I can also add that when Unohana fights, she unravels her large braid.
Spoiler for Espada predictions:
Will the espada return in the new arc? The editor makes a courageous prediction!!

Spoiler for kubo on arrrncar and kon:
Kubo-sensei confesses! The Arrancar are also in his plans!!
Tite Interview
Q: In the new arc, the shinigami will of course be represented, but will other characters from the past also appear?
Kubo: Yes, if the arrancar appear, I think they will stand with the shinigami.
Q: Will there be characters that appear in the role of a friend?
Kubo: Ulquiorra has already turned into ash. Grimmjow might become a friend. Also, what about Harribel, who is still alive? But, I wonder how I’d bring them out of Hueco Mundo. I think Harribel would not leave Hueco Mundo.
Q: Was the idea of arrancars becoming friends in your plans before this break? Or was it just a feeling that they might return?
Kubo: “They might appear.” Or it could be that “they might not appear.” (laughs) Even if they did appear, it wouldn’t be individually, but as a group.
Q: What about Nel?
Kubo: I think I will let Nel appear.
Q: I’d really like to see her interactions with Kon.
Kubo: Kon did not appear in the Lost Agent arc. But to tell the truth, he has rarely appeared since the end of the Soul Society arc, roughly five years ago. (laugh) People who only recently started reading might not know that he exists. (laugh)
Q: It can’t be that you’ve forgotten him?
Kubo: (laugh)
^ i think the person is mentioning how Tite stated he wanted to keep Bleach going for another 10 years after its 10th anniversary.
Where do you get that news? That's pretty big dream for Kubo to stretch the last arc to be 10 years long.
Well, what I want to see is the zanpakutou and bankai from the rest of the captains, and the appearance of the 0 division and the king of the soul society.
He said that in his Jump Festa 2011 (the one in december 2010) interview.
At Jump Festa 2010 (december 2009), he also said the arc would end by the middle of 2010 (which it did), that a short arc would follow and then a big arc would start.
Hence, what's going to follow should take longer than the Fullbring arc. Unless it's marked as the final arc because the manga is being canned and Tite is merely being given time to end it properly
Will the espada return in the new arc? The editor makes a courageous prediction!!

Spoiler:
N-nel? Oh sweet Jesus, look at me actually getting excited about Bleach again.
And also hoping Unohana does in fact fight. Not just cause of her unraveled hair either.
