Bleach 340: oblique edition

You know, at first I didn't buy into the Ishida-is-forgotten-about vs Ishida-is-gonna-be-important debate, but his continued non-appearance makes me think maybe he really will be important here (or else he's in worse condition than -- well, "as bad a condition as he should be", more like).

Well, for now. C'mon team Ichigo and Orihime!! This chapter was good, but I want to see more semi-shippy suggestions, and I want to see some forward character development.
