Ikkaku pretty pls with a cherry on top 😂

Do a Video on Kōga Kuchiki Next plz n thanks

I loved her crazy side, but wish they had just let her train Zaraki without her dying. She would’ve been a bigger help against the sternritter in my opinion with her battle and healing skills. Mayuri had to invent those healing pods to replace her.

One of the first few ❤️❤️ It's 3:30 am here and..I was going to sleep but then notification showed of your video Sleep to me: So you've chosen death Me: Yeah if it's for a Bleach discussion.. I accept death😂😂😂

Ah yeah, Unohana healing on Bankai Zaraki would of been EPIC. Truly a Power couple, I just wanted Zaraki to have a demon child with Unohana but I guess Kubo probably thought their hell spawns would each be a world ending threat... but I can dream.

When you find out your grandma was a badass woman before cooking pies

Literally my life, my grandma and grandpa met in the Hell's Angels

When you found that queen Elizabeth of is part of the army in WWII

Worse... Your mom was the Soul Society equivalent of Vlad the Impaler

@@mattmao47 Worse, you find out that it is "was" with the quotes.

Highly doubtful

You mean lieutenant? He named his lieutenant after her.

@@paanora440 the Lieutenant is part of his Zanpakuto but yea Lieutenant would've been more fitting6

Kenpachi isnt a name it means something along the lines of "The most fierce fighter" or something.....She was the strongest fighter before Zaraki showed up

@@ColdConceptOfficial so it is a name for the strongest fighter. Okay.

Yeah and hope it like shaman king where less fillers more action than opposed to previous seasons

@@danwarner7816 there won't be any filler since the manga is finished Anything added to the final arc will be additional canon content from kubo

@@ludasrayjin1158 I hope, cuz other than fact that it will be released at midnight. He hasn't confirm how many episodes will be in upcoming 17th season

@@ludasrayjin1158 ngl im hoping for some fillers By that i mean, backstory fillers and maybe give some characters a bit of spotlight and char development

@@bubblines I know what you mean But anything that will be new to the final arc will be considered additional canon content not "filler" Especially that we know that kubo is heavily involved with the anime production

i truly agree with your point about this transformative moment for Gotei 13. Plus I feel like the set of this fight being the lowest of the prison also illustrate how she may have wanted to die here as being who she was, a mass murderer. It adds a real tragic accent to think that by having to revert to the very reason for her redemption she needed to atone once agan for the horrors she did by dying...

@@RedRobespierre9 That sounds in line with her character and I agree. In a way it can be said that she possibly saved far more lives than she took during that dark time. Still imagine how many more could've been spared just as Soul Society needed it the most.

She was the Black Mamba from Kill Bill in Bleach. An assassin turned country girl. :-P

Indeed. But imagine if she use her reasons to fight for Gotei herself! She would be able to train Zaraki and fight alongside him as well with her healing powers! Imagine if she’s out there confronting those kiddos sternritter. They would’ve been wiped out easily! Even Askin or Bazz-B or others.

So good

@Heyjose Yeah or nodt

@Heyjose Well they are both scary i really cant choose. Lest say in the anime and see who comes on top

@Heyjose Well its going to different from the past. Its been to many years. I actually would love if kubo just decided to make more content for the anime including with unohana because we didn't get nearly enough for her character. I'm not talking about filler, I'm saying cannon shit with more story about the characters and extended fights because in the end the last arc was rushed

Amazing what a change in facial expression, hairstyle, and lighting can do when handled by a great artist.

Mane, not main. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@robertrosas5007 don’t know what you are talking about, it has always said mane, always.

F

@@John_Theobald nice editing the comment and then calling me out on calling you out. 🤣🤣 Too bad youtube doesn't let you post pics of screenshots.

@@robertrosas5007 hahaha, for me right now, thats a good thing

Totally! But I just love the idea of Unohana being out in the field @ some point in the last 1000 years & having to get serious in a fight! I would die for even just a short story bout that.

Also she knows that fight Aizen was useless being on Kyoka Suigetsu effect. She believed only Ichigo could do it

The issue being her advantage over Aizen is her superior sword skills. Which are rendered useless by Aizen's shjkai. In a straight fight? She's wreck him for sure, but Aizen would never just give her a straight fight for that reason. That being said its pretty obvious Aizen didn't think she'd go down easily so wasn't worth trying to unless he had to.

@@shadenox8164 Unohana has supperior sword and healing skills + almost as good as Aizen's spell skills. She is the complete package of having mastered most forms of combat/healing, which is stupid OP because she can heal herself from fatal wounds as much as she wants.

@@joaquincortescasas8114 yea but i think that her healing was the reason she is not allowed to fight because is she loses well everyone might just order their coffins.

she could not jump in she was under the effects of ks and prob was afraid she would body her allies that why she told ichigo he was the only one that can stop aizen

@@ksmikari1045 that didn’t stop all the rest of Gotei from fighting Aizen, they were under Kyoka Suigetsu as well so that isn’t a valid reason. Maybe Yama told her to stay out of that fight too, that would make the most sense.

@@ksmikari1045 I think its mostly because she knows she can't do much since she was still under aizen's zanpakuto's influence and second because it is her duty to be the medic for the gotei forces there

Only Yama attack Ennetsu Jigoku is the last resort thing that can kill Aizen as it is a great range attack and it requires considerable amount of time to unleashed. Even Aizen is powerful, he needs to be in the vicinity to make sure Kyokasuigetsu on effect. Unohana has no such attack.

@@daisuke910 I get that she can’t beat him but at that point when Aizen takes out the whole Gotei and the Vizards and goes to the real Karakura, if the soul king dies their isn’t gonna be any healing to be done. Do we ever find out if zero division is under Kyoka Suigetsu? I don’t see how Ichibe could’ve still been around to see Aizen release. Maybe she knows that and thought they would take care of him so she should just heal.

Totally agree. She was only used as a stair for Zaraki.

This. 💯

Yeah straight up considering the combat prowess she has the entire concept of that battle is completely idiotic considering where they were in the strongest like what general in their right mind has two of their best fighters have a death match during a period of invasion

Number 4 is the devils number in Japanese culture, hence why Ulquiorra is also number 4 and why Mista from jojos skips the number 4

Thats how it is

Yeah. Kubo rushed it and screwed it up. I think he intended to do more but shonen said no we need to promote other garbage anime instead. Also I think he had other plans for squad zero cause that was just pathetic. It wasn’t even that it was bad, it just literally left plot holes and disappointment.

Bruh she would’ve wrecked the sternritters.

@@zfitness2005 that wasn’t why he was rushed

@@ChromaticEagle then why was he rushed?

@@zfitness2005 health issues

I think a powerful shinigami should find her zanpakto and master the bankai abilities and have it tied in with unohana back story

seeing that we getting the hell arc i personally hope we don’t see her again lmao

She would be a terrifying foe in the Hell Arc, that's for sure. Also, I feel there might be some similarities between her and Kazui because something about that boy feels off.

That's literally all I'm waiting for

I hope the anime actually includes everything Kubota wanted to add and more because it felt very rushed

I really hope it doesn't. Not every mystery needs to be answered. I'm sick of anime where every single moment needs a narrator explaining what happened and how every single move works. Whatever happened to "show, don't tell."

@@varsoonhks3211 yea but some things need to be explained. Cuz people will debate it forever or misinterpret the authors intent.

@@varsoonhks3211 I agree with this, sometimes straigth up saying what's your ability is really annoying especially in Bleach. But it should atleast show us HINT us what's the ability for her Bankai

Yama cared more about Soul Society as a whole, then he did giving the readers something yum. The nerve D=

@@emmohal agreed

I think the whole point of the decision is Soul Society needed one bared blade rather than two sheathed ones during its crisis.

Unohana and Zaraki both CANNOT hold the title of Kenpachi, only one of them. Even Shunsui commented that "....if they crossed blades, one has to die." Zaraki is stronger then Unohana, but due to his mental blocks since meeting Unohana, he grew weaker, and she felt responsible for that.

But then again... We'll be seeing her in Hell soon. Which is much more exciting

Naw we need byakuya for the revelations on the noble families. He’s a head of a noble family and the soul king. I think his character can be more fleshed out regarding his family past.

@@mattmao47 wym cuz of all the ppl she killed?

Yeah. Surely they're not just bringing the anime back strictly for the manga content. We might get flashbacks at times involving the original gotei, Sasakibe's bankai, etc. Perhaps even the original Yama vs Yhwach fight.

@@aliveandwellinisrael2507 I would hope so. Especially if the anime does well. I know kubo had alot more content he couldn't really add because of the time restraints they put on him

@@aliveandwellinisrael2507 l

The first time in history I _want_ anime filler. There's hope in the incoming anime.

Same! Just like the Pendulum arc (my fave), where we get so see the "thugs" Yama & Unohana used to be.

It might be explored in the new arc coming… ALL dead captains being supposedly in hell should definitely turn out to be at least SOMETHING in the new arc coming

@@sageoverheaven naw that’s a waste for a filller if it’s not in the manga, we’ll probably get that in the hell verse coming. With the flashback it’ll probably be a whole episode nothing too big

I agree.. zaraki could have gone with ichigo/renji etc to the oul king palace for his zanpakuto. So unohana doesnt have to be killed off so we can see her in action

I think Shunsui's older brother was one of them. We know that he was a shinigami from noble family. We know that Shunsui and Ukitake were the first to become captains through shinigami academy. 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.

I kinda like the theory based on the silhouettes, that said Komamura's ancestor (the massive dog he did the immortality ritual with) was one of them. It would explain why he's in animal form - he used the ritual himself a long time ago

Nah

thats more if a preference i love the way her character was handled

@@AhmadAli-uk3sh I never understand y she had to die, they're facing annihilation & an enemy whose almost a God u need all the power u can have. Narratively it doesn't make sense to kill likely the 2nd strongest after Kenpachi fully awakens & Yama is dead not including Ichibe ofc he's closer to a God than shigigami too

@@marcuswilliams2910 well she had to die unless kenpachi wouldn't have reached his full potential, again like I said its based on preference and I like it this way

@@marcuswilliams2910 to unlock his full potential Zaraki needed to go all out. so it was a fight to the death.

In my mind she didn't truly know about Yachiru Unohana. She may have heard stories or read somewhere about her & the original Gotei 13, but there's knowing and then there's KNOWING, y'know? Lol. Not that that makes her's and Retsu Unohana's relationship any less valid, or real, I just think that it was built on a character/role that Unohana had to play out of necessity. 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 the Unohana that the lieutenant (now captain) knew, although very real and compassionate in her way, was just a warrior fulfilling their duty/destiny. Love to see it

well with some of the gags and stuff I think isane knew Restu had a dark side but chose not to reveal it instead being a healer since it was mentioned often that she is one of the oldest captains there only behind old man yama

@@birky0191 I learned some new info since I left my original comment. Tite Kubo himself said Isane knew about Retsu’s past life, and she’s the only one who sees Retsu with her hair down(aside from kenpach). And their relationship is 100% genuine. My suspicions have been proven false.

@@CaptainKotetsu huh i also did not know that cool to know it explains why she was so sad when she found unahona`s letter to

Imagine if kubo decided to continue jaws of hell arc then we see kenpachi or isane face unohana. I am filled with excitement.

IDK, I never would have made the leap that she was the first Kenpachi but like it was mentioned in the example where she terrified the members of the 11th division among others I always had the sense that she would eventually appear as the closet menace.

@@darkdagger7803 maybe. But in that scenario, it was almost more like an older sister keeping others in line.

@@darkdagger7803 Ha. Yeah. Those moments always made me suspicious if anything.

Agreed

Zaraki subconsciously restraining himself because of his history with Unohana, and the fact that he could never bring himself to let loose fully, meant that she had to die in order for him to *truly* become "Kenpachi". That big mental weakness that he can't overcome alone is part of his childlike mentality.

@@purerage7963 That's still a stupid reason especially for what we got in the end. Shit was forced

@@thesmellycatjazz Yeah honestly I agree with you now after a bit of thought lol.

@@thesmellycatjazz Yeah definitely forced imo. Especially how Unohana basically has no fights and just heals everyone the whole series and then when we finally get characterization its in the FINAL ARC and she immidiately dies afterwards. I know people say she HAD to die for Kenpachi to progress but I feel like that’s just bad writing on Kubo’s part because he wrote this “limitation” of Kenpachi not being able to go all out in at the very last possible arc

@@ihateanimebutonlywhenitiso7227 I agree with you on it as well. I always thought it was bad writing on Kubo’s part, and he could’ve let her live and give her more fights to show us how OP she really is. I love Unohana so much.

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

If I remember correctly the 2nd Kenpachi which is Shūjo that is taller than Zaraki was still alive and was locked down in maggot nest

She stepped down after she was disappointed that she was too weak so that Zaraki restrained himself to kill her because he was afraid of losing her. She was parcifistic after that because she only has passion in fighting Zaraki

Why sad? It was a great fight.

@@ChromaticEagle In my opinion her whole character culmimated in just being character progression for Kenpachi and then she just dies when Kubo doesn’t need her anymore and as soon she has her first fight and does something interesting

@@ChromaticEagle its sad because she had only one fight

I think it was unnecessary to kill her off to Kenpachi. Kubo could've had her and Kenpachi go and wreck the Quincy army and causing all kinds of chaos. Then if you wanted to kill her off I would do it after a fight with a top tier Quincy and when witnessing her death Kenpachi in a rage goes Bankai for the first time

It gives more meaning. Life is meaningful only because there is death.

It has to be like that because Zaraki could only be the real Kenpachi if he kills the previous one

You and me both

Kenpachi could have just trained with the zero squad in the soul palace , the way unohana died was bullshit.

@@bqw2094 She was the reason he sealed his true power so it stands to reason she would be the key to unsealing it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@kanoreese1253 she didn’t have to die , Kubo wasted her and kenpachi is not the only one who could have defeated Gremmy

@@bqw2094 I agree that Kubo didn't have to kill off Unohana but Zaraki was the only shinigami that could've beaten Gremmy because no other shinigami had Zaraki's endurance and nobody else would've survived Gremmy's meteor or his space trap. Only Zaraki has the ability to cut thru anything, even intangibility which saved him from outer space!

Bet the Bankai heals u but u feel nothing but pain each time it cuts and as you heal

I mean to be fair, wasn't there another Kenpachi who was a monster in his own right? Got sealed in Muken and is immune to the effects of kyokasuigetsu? He just doesn't fight like Unohana and Kenpachi is all

@@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.

@@megalictis9002 also Kuruyashi was the only captain to be able to fight against a Vasto Lorde Hollow in that era before Azashiro introduced his Bankai right? According to the novel lol

Nope

Retsu apparently means Violence in Japanese. He absolutely did plan it, she's probably the most planned aspect of Bleach, at least after the Agent of the Shinigami Arc.

Same here

wouldve liked to see her in battle with the arancar or the sternritter

Thanks so much Cloud :)

15:35

I would think that the reason why she did not go after Aizen because she was already in aizen's complete hypnosis. Imagine her going into battle only to find out that she was actually killing her own team mates.
