Motonabe Kai: Well let me be Titus for a second, "Y u no lol?" "Hey you, out there all alone..." Avatar by Cheesewoo. He does commissions! Flick him a PM on Deviantart.
Being serious for a moment, if South and North follow East and West's trend of being opposites then it should indeed involve the sky in some way. Of course going by that logic it should also have something to do with healing, which would be even more off message than fire zombies.
Okay. That was dull; The Bankai sealing only works on Bankais you know the limits of, which makes no sense because they managed to steal Soi Fon's Bankai, which she almost never uses. Also, ZnT North is just a death beam. And Juha Bach wasn't Juha Bach. White-Haired Guy, perhaps?

Must. Resist. Urge to kill.
...
Not. Resisting. Well.
Well, now we know what's goin' to happen next. The real Juha Bach will show up, possibly steal Yama's bankai now, and then proceed to troll around in ways Aizen only dreamed.

He's missing his body, he's dead. But it's pretty obvious he was only the little big bad guy. Ichigo is gonna get to the Soul Society just in time to fight the big little big bad guy who will inevitably turn into the big bad guy. And just a thought, Aizen is still alive, correct? At the end of that arc, instead of doing the logical thing and killing him, they held him captive somewhere, if memory serves. So that might come back and bite 'em...

That wasn't Juha. Read the last page and he says "I'm sorry I was too weak Juha Bach- sama". As Tova and others said, most likely the real Juha will arrive and steal Yama's bankai and troll stomp everyone until Ichigo arrives.

"What do the enemies words mean?" It means Yamamoto is fucked. I knew Juha couldn't be nearly that pathetically weak. There's a reason he's the big baddie...

Correct. Aizen's melding with the hogyouku turned him truly immortal, so it is impossible to kill him. As such, the Central 46 did the only logical thing remaining to do and locked him away deep within the Maggot's Nest (I'm guessin', since it is their inescapeable prison).

Yama's not an idiot, if you see in the last page there's rain. Therefore he unreleased his bankai and is now in either shikai or completely unreleased. Also, Yama could always be just... wrong about how they steal bankai. He asked a question and pseudo-bach never answered, just loldead.
Also, white haired guy I don't think is the real Juhabach, but I feel he is an immense badass. His badassery is leaking from him.
I wonder if Loyd Lloyd, "The Yourself" who turned into an inferior copy of Kenpachi, has (or, well, had) a brother? In any event, since the fake Juha Bach responded to seeing his dead followers with honest emotion, he had to at least be a contemporary of the real Juha Bach. It's been a long time since we've seen that kind of injury- not since Ishida ventilated Mayuri. I'm both amused and oddly relieved that umpteen years later, it still looks just as goofy.
Is it time to lay bets on whether the next chapter is a switch back to Hueco Mundo? Personally, I'm torn. This would be a logical place given how Kubo handled the previous switch, but it'd make even more sense to do a switch on the bad guys apparently winning, not apparently losing.
