So that's why she's the 4th captain... the number 4 symbolizing "death".. her being the first Kenpachi.. teaching Zaraki the art of killing.. it makes a bit more sense now.

it's just another case of Kubo using similar facial structures for his characters, but it is interesting to look at

Very cool chapter. I think Unohana and Kenpachi should just be the new main characters from this point forward.

EDIT: Also good to see where Kenpachi named his Lt. from =D

Can someone explain to me what exactly is the significance of her name being 'Yachiru'? Secondly, is the Captain Commander asking for permission to train Unohana or Zaraki? Thirdly, what the fuck are the Quincy doing now are they just fucking off to have a sleep or something? Thanks.

You couldn't figure any of this out? That is some poor reading comprehension.

I can't say I was particularly impressed by this chapter . . . I mean, I definitely like the way things have been going in this arc (with the quincies and the shakeup in SS), but overall I found this one to be kind of slow. Sure it has a bit of a twist at the end there . . . aside from that not much else happened. The first half of the chapter was Ichigo getting out of a hot spring . . . not much else.


If you think about it, there are at least 5 Captains whose bankais are not revealed yet (Shunsui, Urahana, Rose, Shinji, and Ukitake), two (?) currently living retired captains (Yoruichi, Love), as well as at least two people I can think of who could probably get bankais (Kenpachi and Rukia). Going by the previous pace of the manga (ie. before Kudo was forced to end in one last arc), he could have just revealed one extra bankai per arc and slowroll the series for another 10 years.


Considering what we've had with the previous chapters/arcs I wouldn't be surprised if Kubo rammed it all into this arc! He still has time to complete the plot-kai lol
Thanks for the break :D

I think the plot points in Bleach is coming around nicely, but Kubo is just really bad at putting them together. If the art of story is like playing a piece of music, this guy just plays as loud as he can all the time (power ups) or as soft as he can all the time (dialogues) and hopes for the best. The notes are there, but the interpretation just needs a bit of work. He's just really bad at putting together tension. Why else would people think it should have ended after the Aizen arc, when he had another full arc towards it? He didn't reveal enough information in the past about certain key factors that makes you think there are bigger factors in play and so everything just "comes out of nowhere" and makes you go "huh?".

Hopefully whatever Kubo works on next will be much better because I'm kind of enjoying how things are being knitted together and making me more convinced it isn't just "making shit up as you go" a la Naruto, but a lot of it was planned from the start, but man, that just means he's a terrible story teller.

Agreed, sort of. I think he came up with a bunch of cool character drawings and an interesting plot overall (with some exceptions). That's a big part of storytelling and he's pretty good at it.

However, you're absolutely right that his execution of the story is painfully bad at times. No foreshadowing. No hints that there's something more. Nothing. We just have these characters that have no development until suddenly Kubo needs to use them and then there's this storyline behind them. It makes me question at what point in the story did Kubo decide that Unohana was the first Kenpachi and her name was Yachiru. Was it just tacked on out of convenience or was it something planned from the beginning? It's actually hard to tell. When you leave the slate completely clean on each character and don't develop them at all, it gives you the magical ability to suddenly put any back story you want into that character.


I can see what you're saying with the Kenpachi thing, but the strength of Unohana hasn't been in question for a very long time. We've all known that she is one of the oldest and strongest, and the data books have always said that her combat rating is only rivaled by Zaraki and someone else. As for the rest, it does make you wonder about his writing.

I heard a loud bang from the apartment under me earlier today.

I now conclude this to be because my neighbor was apparently reading this chapter.

Honestly if you think about it and all we know about her and her reactions with other captains, I can see it that picture clear as day.

Garbage manga.

Kenpachi couldn't even beat Ichigo in Shikai form with his eye patch off the first time they met.

All of a sudden he is defeating Bankais and Espada left and right.

Remember when he said he wanted to become stronger after that first fight? Or maybe you prefer the main character fight the same power level enemies the entire time so it's more realistic?

That escaped from me too. Probably because that twist is weird on the level of "unohana is actually ichigos mother", you heard it here first.

All of a sudden he is defeating Bankais and Espada left and right.

I actually think of their powerlevels as barely increasing. It doesn't take much more skill in order to beat someone convincingly (top level Starcraft is a good example of this, any games between Flash/Jaedong/Bisu).
Espadas aren't actually that much more powerful than the Captains back from the SS arc, if they ever were at all. Ichigo didn't become immune to cero blasts, he has just learned how to properly deflect them without getting hurt. Shunpo is still just as useful in fighting as it was from its introduction.

Everyone is much more even in skill and strength than the manga makes them appear.

(Just my personal view, no official confirmation at all)
Gravity is just a theory anyway.

Yeah fortunately Bleach has had minimal power creep. Which makes the story swallowable. Really only Ichigo is moving anywhere.

Unohana's given name is Yachiru
Kenpachi named his lieutenant Yachiru after the only person he admired

Considering Kubo this is the least weird "twist" ever

dunno... Ishida is apparently good now .
and Orihime hax powerz grew as well.
And now Zaraki will rape more. Same with Byakuya and Renji after visiting super-reishi-imba springs. And Ginjo.
