Unohana has been my favorite Bleach character since it started and I was absolutely horrified with the direction they took her. I have no problem with her formal identity, my problem is her being used essentially as a tool to prop up Zaraki Kenpachi. Zaraki who has had numerous fights up to that point gets a power up by killing someone who's never even had a fight before. I don't even mind her dying, but she didnt even get to fight a single antagonist and essentially died in a glorified training session, where it was already predetermined that she would be a sacrificial goat... I absolutely hate the way they took her character. It still pisses me off 10 years later

Kubo claimed in interviews that he had the truth about Unohana being the 1st Kenpachi planned out from the beginning and honestly I believe him. If you look back at the Karaburi+, her combat stats were on the same level as Yamamoto and her special skill was listed as Kendo. Kuruyashiki was the 7th Kenpachi and Azashiro was the 8th. After Azashiro was imprisoned in Muken, his Vice-Captain was promoted and became the 9th Kenpachi; he's the one who Love insulted for getting killed by Kiganjo. Presumably when Unohana transerred to the 4th Division a similar thing happened and her old Vice-Captain became the 2nd Kenpachi. The entire reason behind their fight is that Unohana never officially lost the Kenpachi title to begin with so the following 10 were not real Kenpachi, and Zaraki only becomes one after killing Unohana.

Shinigami academy was created after gotei13, so the original captains (including Unohana) were most likely just picked by Yama, based on their ability to kick ass. Obviously he is much older than Shunsui and it's safe to assume that he probably became shinigami before his younger brother.

There were good reasons as to not have her fight, i.e her bankai potentially killing everyone in the vicinity a la Zanka no tachi, or that her Retsu personality is like a can of worms where like Kenpachi's bankai it puts her in a berserker-like state, or that as leader of the medical division and she is the last line of support of soul society/seireitei and her station is too important to risk.

I've read some other comments saying that she devoted herself to being the healer down to the last moment before she truly passed on the title of "Kenpachi." & I really like that idea.

So my take as far as the Kenpachi title goes: The 11th Division was setup as a way to pass on the title. When Unohana retired, whoever took her spot just became a defacto 2nd and it continued on. However, technically, Zaraki would be the true 2nd Kenpachi, the actual inheritor since Unohana was never actually defeated until then.
@aliveandwellinisrael25073 жыл бұрын
Seems like it. Nobody actually killed her at all until then, let alone in one of those 11th division captain death battles...I know there are a couple of insanely OP ones from the novels, but in general, it doesn't feel like the majority were up to the same standard as Yachiru and Zaraki. They seemed more comparable to the Zaraki with the bells on. That led us to such an underestimation of the strength someone has if they deserved the title

Watching this video made me come up with a possible idea for why Unohana was never in a fight prior to her sparring with Zaraki: Because once she starts it would be very difficult to make her stop. She'd use her healing powers to keep the battle going indefinitely without ever actually killing her opponent. She'd be caught up fighting this one foe in a veeeeery drawn-out battle and nothing else. She would, in a sense, be little more than a very grim and gory distraction to keep an enemy or two occupied. That's not really what you really want from a captain fighting on the frontlines.

Isane being her ward is where I thought he would take her story arc. Explain how Unohana came across Isane, and here is my thoughts on it: headcanon: Unohana killed Isane's Sole parent during one of her murder sprees. Seeing the child in tears, Unohana released her darker side, effectively killing her old self in that moment, and changing her own name to really solidify the transition to a new path of healing and nurturing. All of this because of her relationship with Isane.

Could you maybe argue that Yama kept her safe as to keep as many people alive after the battle as possible, and then once they have enough intel on the Quincy, Kyoraku wanted to increase their offensive power as much as possible for what would probably be the last stand? Or maybe that was the entire plan all along from Yama as well, who knows.

@@rev0568 Oh, Sōya Azashiro, the 8th Kenpachi from Bleach: Spirits Are Forever With You had an absolutely insidiously powerful bankai that was always active. He was the primary antagonist in the light novel. Indeed the 7th Kenpachi, Kuruyashiki, also had a bankai so dangerous that he was forbidden to use it within Seireitei. Presumably all the Captains of the 11th division would have been overpoweringly dangerous relative to most other Shinigami (even Kiganjō, who got one-shotted by Zaraki). But the 2nd-10th Captains of Squad 11 were essentially place-holders: called Kenpachi without truly deserving the name. Yachiru Unohana may have renounced her duties but she couldn't renounce her strength and she remained the true Kenpachi right up until Zaraki killed her. She relinquished her position out of shame and guilt nearly a millenium ago because she knew there was a boy at the outer edge of soul society who was stronger than her and the only reason she was still alive after fighting him then was because he saw her fear of dying (for the first time in her life) and he gave her the opportunity to heal herself so the fight could go on.

I think the reason alot of ppl think unohana and kenpachi have romantic tension specifically is because their both kenpachi and by the inherent nature of the title "kenpachi" the thrill of battle is almost sexual in nature. Which is consistent with what you said about them being the only ones that can satisfy eachothers lust for battle. Theres a reason the term lust is used to describe battle instead of greed or desire in most cases. So i think kubo brilliantly displayed this thematically with the percieved underlying sexual tension that is only sexual within the context of a kenpachi and is not in fact actually romantic in any way. Its like 2 lovers that have been repressed their whole lives finally achieving climax simultaneously. Beautiful.

What I loved was the foreshadowing; Kubo hinted this as far back as the Soul Society Arc; her battle data has her offense being at her best, she is able to make Squad 11, a group of violent thugs quiver in fear at her presence, make even Aizen a master manipulator be cautious of her, make Zaraki a blood knight respect/fear her, and has two senior captain's Shunsui and Ukitake fear her. Then when you find out who she once was, then everything starts to make sense

I always felt that Unohana is a very well written character. She basically took an oath to no longer fight, until Yamamoto himself was dead. And her role as a healer is important, way more than any other role. Who will protect everyone and secure the survival of the gotei 13 if she risks a fight against Aizen? And given how she changes when she fights there would be a lot of collateral if she went against Aizen. On top of that she knew his ability and that she was already under his spell, making a fight meaningless. Also, if you question her actions you should also question Yamamotos actions, given his power he could have wiped out all Arrancar with ease. Yama is tradition, while Kyoraku is pure pragmatism

If Kubo did plan Unohana's character back in the Huenco Mundo, a reason why she didn't participate was probably that she was saving her last/only fight exclusively only with Kenpachi.

My problem with Unohana's backstory is that it's so subtle at hinting. What a Jeckyl and Hyde change. If She was as dangerous and as great of a fighter that she's implied to be, from a story telling perspective Kubo should have shown us and not just told us this information last minute in a couple of chapters. She should have been included in more fights so we could get a peak. It was a seemingly shocking reveal, but it was executed poorly, which is a shame because I enjoyed the character.

I would say the Soul Society splits between law and honor. I think Unohana fully committed to the role of being a pacifist. On top of that, like you said she's very perspective, she most likely already knew that Aizen would've simply cut her down and then left anyway. It would be more strategic to heal the captains and vizards for a group offensive. I think Unohana wanted to die during the fight with Zaraki. She became a different person from a thousand years ago, she can see the wrongness of her path and her punishment for her sins is to once again become this monster and die.
