Ask you me, the picture of Ichigo's Bankai sword and the other sword comes in ep. 61 before the picture "Ichigo on ground, while Aizen holds around Rukia's neck". Why? Because it would sound up to expectations that Aizen is better than Ichigo in sword-dueling. Therefore, in my opinion, Ichigo tries to defend Rukia duriing that first picture by trying to get Aizen's sneaky hands off Rukia, while in the second, Aizen has made Ichigo bow down to the ground to eat dirt, yet again..
Very insignificant point, but I have to disagree. The previews are, for the most part, shown in the chronological order that the episodes follow. Ichigo is still lying down on the ground (as in episode 59), Aizen shows up (does something to Renji - beats the shit outta him? whatever), and takes Rukia. I'm assuming Ichigo won't stand for that, and attacks Aizen from the air, which is where the shadow falls and the swords clash.

Last, Previous 12th captain, Urahara Kisuke's return to Soul Society. My opinions; the reason he (and Yoruichi) left Soul Society a while ago, was because somewhat, Kisuke knows of Aizen's plans. And how? Kisuke is known as the wisest captain of all Soul Society. If Kisuke couldn't, by that rank, figure out Aizen's plans, then who would?
Aizen may be a genius, but so is Kisuke. And Aizen vs. Kisuke would be my first battle coming up for the next 3-4 episodes.
Since when was Urahara known as "thew wisest captain of all Soul Society"?? In any case, I don't think he left Soul Society of his own will, I think he was forced to leave. If you remember back to the beginning of this arc, when he built the gate to send the others through, he tried to follow, but was stopped. I'm guessing that has some relevence, and shows that he will not be able to return. I'm very excited to learn what really happened though. This episode is creating too many questions that need to be answered.

as the preview shows; "I will also be a guest.", probably means we get to know Kisuke's Captain job in the Soul Society that existed before Ichigo brought his Zangetsu into their world and caused massive tornado in there.
Lol, that is probably the most complicated way I've heard someone say "we'll get to see a Kisuke flashback".
