[Manga] Bleach (spoilers to current)

So..Unahana was the first kenpachi...

This manga went to shit long time ago. But at least that was the one plot twist i didn't see coming.

Kinda makes sense, since everyone always seems to be scared of her when ever her temper flairs just a tiny bit.

Bleach is worse than all your ex-girlfriends combined. I can't stop going back.

I'm more curious about Shunsui calling her Unohana Yachiru more than anything.

Seems like the popular speculation at this point. One of the RG (Elvis dude with the healing spa) pretty much spat out her name Retsu with heavy sarcasm when he admonished her for staying on the sidelines during the Vandereich invasion. Retsu means is something like killer, violence, etc. So I guess we should have seen that one coming. They gave away Shunsui's full name so dropping the bomb at the end with Unohana seems fitting. All that crap for 10 years about everyone being scared of her makes sense now.

I wonder if her Bankai/Shikai have other "uses" than just helpfully healing wounds. I seriously doubt a Kenpachi would end up with such a benevolent sword. Hopefully their is more to it, it would be the first interesting twist in bleach since we found out Aizen was behind everything going on in soul society.

Maybe she doesn't like killing but was damn good at it. See that's the thing about Zaraki, he loves to fight. But there is a big difference between fighting and killing. He often doesn't kill his opponent. He'll walk away if he thinks his opponent is beaten and can't go on fighting. That's why she is going to teach him the art of killing.

Basically they are explaining her not fighting as if she does she goes fucking mental? Yamaji wanted her to not go our against the Vandenreich because the consequences of her being forced to fight are too great?

Whut?

I just realized that this whole royal realm thing is just like the heaven arc in dragon ball z. And yeah kubo always said that unohana was one of the most powerful shinigami's in ss. The old data books had her power close to yamamoto. I have to admit bleach is actually more interesting to read right now then naruto. Funny how better a manga is when a mangaka isnt trying to milk a single fight over months.

He kills unworthy trash. Girio and the three gimp Vandereichs are a good example. Tousen, Ichigo, Yammy, especially Nnoitra are examples of where he's in it for the thrill of the fight against strong opponents. Not so much for trash. He kill em and moves on. In that chapter, after he wipes him away, he was about just head back to SS before Yachiru reminded him of the Yamamoto's orders to stay.

Reaction to this week's manga: About fucking time he comes a little clean about her.

Anyone ready to double-down on Unohana being a yin-yang shinigami, meaning her zanpaktou has life/death modes?

I will go with that. Her shikai is for healing, while her bankai is pure killing insanity. Most likely no one wants to see her get mad, and why she is always shown to be calm. I wouldn't mind several issues of Bleach dealing with the training of Zarakai, and the restructuring of SS by Shinsui.

I told my wife (she watched the anime with me while we were living Japan together) that Yamamoto Genryuusai is dead for good since Shinsui got the promotion to Commander. She then replied " Did he die of old age?" and that was probably the best moment I had in Bleach for a while.

Senzu Beans awwww yea

Hmmm, I like where he's going here - with each of the Zero Squad being important beyond measure for something. I like how in one line though Kubo completely obliterated that entire filler arc with the half green/half blond haired guy that claimed to have been the creator of the Mod Soul/Artificial Soul.

It's a filler for a reason, lol.

Lets be honest, Kubo ripped off the filler material.
