Bleach question

[meganbmoore]

After lunch with Mom today, I stopped by Waldenbooks  (Which is closing!  Leaving me only with Hastings for local books!  They have horrible customer service!  They act annoyed and bitter if you ask a question and are put out if you order a book!  Woes!) and ended up talking to a couple people in the manga section.  As one does.  (Technically, I was beside the manga section looking at SFF, having already checked for the few manga I was looking for.)

Anyway, I'm a couple months behind on Bleach scans (I'll catch up when it sounds like the current arc ends or comes to a new stage) but they started either spewing out spoilers or seeing what I'd buy in to.  Either way, I'm vaguely irritated-though much less worried about Bleach spoilers than other series-but curious as to whether or not it's true.

So, according to them, Isshin is Shinigami royalty, and Mama Kurosaki (name escapes me ATM) was a quincy.

True?  False?  What?.

Uh, the current arc is all fighting, all the time. There have been no new revelations of anybody's past since the extended flashback ended (which didn't feature Isshin at all anyway).

Yeah, I was pretty sure he was making it up then, but still. (It would have been incentive to catch up.)

I was a bit miffed at no Isshin in the flashback arc.

I've been reading it weekly because I translate it, but if I weren't, I definitely would hold off for a while. Battles are better read in large chunks, as otherwise it seems like nothing happens, and this has really just been battle after battle after battle as there are like five million going on at once so it just switches between them.

I loved the flashback arc and would have been happy to have it go on a lot longer. I guess Isshin was already gone from Soul Society by then, maybe. Otherwise you'd think there would have at least been a mention or glimpse of him. I hope there will be more reveals about the past after the endless battle finally ends.
