Zextra Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Contrary to Kakashi, this fight is actually making Unohana become one of my favorite characters. And all the ruthlessness and coldness she displayed in the last couple of chapters seems to be dying down. But I have to say, she looks much better with her braids let down - I'm still hoping both of them end up surviving though; We haven't seen enough Unohana yet to have her die now :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Unohana's still too jarring to me. The change was... Too sudden. As for Kenoachi, he already has Shikai. It's a perma-Shikai like Zangetsu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Roxas Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Agreed on Unohana's change being way too drastic. I also thought it was random to add in Kenpachi getting stronger closer to his original strength every time he almost dies, but hey, at least it might help him get his bankai.

Aix Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 So... Kenpachi is secretly stronger than Ichigo, except even he does not know this. At least this explains how he got beaten by Ichigo before Ichigo ever attained Bankai or his Hollow Mask and yet went on to beat Nnoitra and Yammy.

Fusion X. Denver Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Not much to say about the chapter. I feel like I should be more invested in the fight than I am right now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Crouton Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 *Decides to pick up Bleach for the first time since Soul Society arc**Reads the 3 recent issues**Sees a fight**Sees little to no fighting in fight**Sees some stupid plot point about Kenpachi holding back his power or something, which will undoubtedly drag this fight out to an unnecessary length and makes it boring* So, I see Tite Kubo is still wasting trees.

Blake Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Read it on eatmanga about 20 ago... Bleach, please hurry up and die peacefully. You're just letting Kubo abuse you more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zextra Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Oh, come on...I mean, everybody kind of saw it coming, but why is it that Unohana has to die the first time we actually see her fight for real? Furthermore, I'm not clear on what her Bankai does - but maybe rereading the chapter a couple times will help with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleepy Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Woow... do we actually need a spoiler for that?I mean... hardly anything happened. It might as well be the second half of last chapter and it'd still feel a bit short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 AgainWhy does Unohana need to die .-.Give one good reason.One. Soul Society just got their a*ses kicked and they're going to need every asset they can get.What do they do?Sic 2 of their best on each other fully intending one of them to die.Bullshevic. What's Unohana's Bankai even do? I thought it was an acid thing for a second, which could've been interesting. But it's some sleep thing instead? Maybe it could've been cool if it actually worked for longer than a couple pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 The one thing I normally enjoy in Bleach is the fight, and I love watching Ken, but this was really bad. It just felt really poorly put together and messy. This chapter especially with the "what the hell is this" moment of her Bankai and the usual amount of nothing happening. And yea, Unohana dyeing seems stupid as hell. I mean how much do you gain by making Ken stronger at the cost of one of the strongest fighters you have.

Maybe it could've been cool if it actually worked for longer than a couple pages.Because Kenpachi is the strongest and ther can be only one. But yeah, I have no idea what that Bonkai was. When i first saw it, I was like, 'Hey, maybe it's like the blood of all the folks she's killed.' or something but I couldn't quite tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Fourthing the "what the hell" on Unohana's bankai. Maybe it teleports them into that giant manta ray thing's stomach and they get absorbed by its juices...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Roxas Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Yeah, it seemed like she was using her own blood to activate it. Does she turn her own blood into acid or something? Is that why her own skin was melting? The blood already on her burned her flesh, and she did her standard "Almost kill Kenpachi, then heal him again" thing. I actually had to look up the names of the members of the Royal Guard, but can we please get to the two members Ichigo and Renji haven't trained yet? I don't think I should like Senjumaru as much as I do, and yet she's my favorite in the Royal Guard. From a design standpoint, Osho is rather lousy, but he's nice because he at least he's one of the few likable members in the Royal Guard outside Alvida Hikifune. Tenjiro's a jerk who I only want to see again just because I'm curious how he'll take the news of Unohana's death, while we're currently stuck with Oetsu, who has one of the worst designs in the entire series. Considering the characters Kubo has introduced, that's saying a lot. This is what you get for wanting good guys to die, I guess. Considering how Yamamoto and Unohana have been killed in the fights where they revealed their bankai, I'm guessing that, going forward, "Captain reveals their bankai for the first time" will be the new "Akatsuki member takes off their cloak". Taking bets on who will die first: Kyoraku, Rose, Shinji, Kensei, Kenpachi, or Ukitake? I think Kyoraku will last a while, and Kenpachi just finished his training, so he still needs to learn his Bankai, so he's safe for a while, but then again, that's me expecting Kubo to actually be smart for a change. Shinji was the leader of the Vizards, so between him, Rose, and Kensei, he's most likely to die first. Not sure what to expect from Ukitake, so I'll say that, after Unohana, either Ukitake or Shinji will be the next captain to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury the year Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Also, random fun fact. Both her shikai and bankai are pronounced the same ("Minazuki"), but while the first is written 肉雫唼 ("purify the flesh" is the given translation"), the second is 皆尽, which means something like "deplete everyone." Probably is a clue as to what it does. EDIT: Completely baseless speculation, but this bankai could actually be the true form of Minazuki and the shikai is a "nicknamed form," much like Yumichika had with Fuji Kujaku. This wouldn't be the first instance of a shinigami consciously influencing the form of their release. Additionally, the kanji for the first form are incredibly non-standard (肉雫唼 if romanized directly would be "Nikudashō" and there aren't any other readings that could make that name in English) while the second one is very straightforward and direct (皆 = mina, 尽 = (d)zuki).

Lt. Colonel Remo Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 What's Unohana's Bankai even do? I thought it was an acid thing for a second, which could've been interesting. But it's some sleep thing instead? Maybe it could've been cool if it actually worked for longer than a couple pages.This is what upset me the most They just flew by her bankai like it was literally nothing Although by now we should've learned that bankai in general means nothing Now I can't wait for the fanfics of UnohanaxKenpachi with Yachiru being the daughter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizarus Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'm sorry, but what the hell? Unohana uses bankai, and in the very same chapter she dies? I've been looking forward to seeing her Bankai for several arcs now, looking forward to seeing her use it in an actual fight, and that's it? Some random acid spray that lasted for 2 pages?

The vagueness of it made is horrible. And while I wouldn't be shocked if she is dead I REALLY hope she isn't. It just seems stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
