* DoubleMeaningTitle: ''The Lost Agent'' at first seems to refer to Ichigo no longer being a Substitute Shinigami, thus being a "Lost Agent". In reality it refers to Ginjo, another former Substitute Shinigami who's been stringing along Ichigo to awaken and steal his power. That the title could refer to either of them sets them up as foils to one another.
* TheHeavy: While Ginjo is the BigBad of the arc, Tsukishima is the one who does most of the heavy-lifting in the villainy department. He (seemingly) injures Uryu, frequently attacks Ichigo, and most disturbingly infiltrates and manipulates his family and friends. It's no wonder Ginjo keeps him close to his side.

Actually, this would only be here if this specific arc had been Cut Short. We also don't know the reason, so we can't speculate here about it.

* UnwittingPawn: Xcution was just stringing Ichigo along to bring out his Fullbring power, then steal it and boost their own power. Ginjo specifically wants it to get back at Soul Society.

Trope misuse. The trope did happen, but the example is wrong. Corrected.

* HesBack: The purpose of this arc is to restore During the Lost Agent Arc, Ichigo's power, so he inevitably pulls this once friends and family are brainwashed against him, and the one ally remaining to him turns on him, stabs him and steals his power. Ichigo is left on his knees, powerless and sobbing. The Shinigami turn up to restore his Shinigami power returns.in the same fashion as Chapter 1. His resolve returns in full force and he thrashes the ArcVillain.
