Bleach Manga (many spoilers) discussion

After she dies, Juhabach will summon her as a zombie using Yamamoto's Bankai.

Oh great, the Bleach version of Edo Tensei.

I still can't figure out what Unohana's bankai does. I think it either erases/melts things or it's illusion based like Aizen's shikai. Hopefully it'll be explained in the next chapter or something. And I pray to God that Unohana isn't dead. She deserved better than to go down against Kenpachi of all characters.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic but it doesn't work that way. Juha Bach would have to kill her in order to summon her.

Amen.

I still don't get the logic behind all the "I love fighting so I learned to heal myself so I could continue fighting" because she became a medic and stopped fighting after that, but oh well.

If Byakuya doesn't die after getting slashed by his own bankai, I really hope one sword thrust isn't going to kill Unohana. But knowing Kubo.. >.>

Only interesting thing that happened in the last few chapters was knowing Unohana's real bloodlust. No wonder Shunsui and Ukitake were afraid of her o.o
Then again, they were also part of the original Gotei 13. So at one time, more or less they themselves were bloodthirsty killers.
I should stop questioning Kubo logic.

I was being sarcastic, but quite frankly I wouldn't put it past Kubo to pull something ridiculous and unexpected like that Bankai adding the kills of a person it kills to its user's army. In other words, he kills Kenpachi and gains all of the souls Kenpachi killed for himself.

I would not be surprised...

I would rather have Unohana alive, she seems to have given up or went easy on him, she cold have just healed herself then they both could fight for the Shinigami, it is ridiculous.

I agree with you, it's like why did she just wanna die? I understand that she was "releasing" Kenpachi's power or whatever, but if she was able to keep healing Kenpachi from death why couldn't she do the same for herself? Probably has to do with that Kenpachi code or whatever, where they basically wish to die in battle with someone stronger than them.

But she still wasn't a Kenpachi in the moment. She is the 4th Squad Captain, they are on different squads, they can still live!

I hate codes of honor like that. I mean both Unohana and Kenpachi could have lived but for whatever reason, Kubo's saying that one of them has to die in order for the other to thrive. It reminds me of something that happened in another story, but I did think Kubo would at least hold back from killing Unohana here; she could have been a huge asset in the next phase of the war.

His justification is probably some nonsense like "fully awakened Kenpachi is twice as strong as Unohana, it compensates for her death" or something.

[waffle_x_v]

F/ck kenpachi. There, I said it. I f/cking hate his character. Kubo needs to stop advancing bland characters.

[JD]

Well.. looks like Unohana is dead I didn't see that coming at least not this soon. On the other hand, it looks like Ichigo is going to have to rely on Quincy powers for a while it's obvious that he's going to get Zangetsu back sometime in the future though.

[waffle_x_v]

What was the point of the whole chapter? I agree, it is obvious ichigo will get zangetsu back, why drag it out?

[miles0624]

I have to say. I liked this chapter because it actually shocked me. I was expecting Ichigo to pass if Renji passed. Yet, this is the first time we see someone else succeed and Ichigo fail. It is time to make Renji the new main character. ^.^

[TsukiMirage]

Short chapter it seems. Zaraki finally hears his blade and Ichigo fails and has to go back to the beginning were both pretty gripping. Good chapter.

[Joltik-Kid]

Time to learn about the pass... His dad is still open to get questioned

[arceus03]

Great. Now Unohana is dead and Kenpachi will finally learn his bankai. Or whatever.

RIP, Unohana. T_T
Whenever - 2012.

[JD]

Nimaiya's words kind of annoyed me this chapter.. Ichigo was the one who stopped Aizen from eradicating Soul Society and everyone in it and if Ichigo didn't defeat him he probably would have evolved even further and stomp everyone.

[Joltik-Kid]

It's 2013... you stuck in the past or something

[Ciccone]

So predictably, Unohana is dead and Kenpachi can finally hear his Zanpakuto. How terrible. I suppose it was nice seeing the previous Captain of the 11th Division in the manga though; all we had was artwork of him from a databook before. And I'm surprised that Ichigo has to start over from the beginning now. This arc is becoming very tedious.

The only eyebrow raiser for me was that Ichigo failed his test, if only because it breaks his formerly perfect record of meeting pre-requisites for special training. It would be great if Ichigo trained in the art of being a Soul Reaper again. It would certainly be a decent throwback.
