THE 1ST KENPACHI | Bleach TYBW Ep 9 (375) REACTION

[@golden_eye2156]

Kenpachi did say in his flashback that he named Yachiru (his lieutenant/pink-haired little girl) after the person he respected most. Now we know who that is and why a lot of soul reapers are so afraid of Unohana. Behind that smile of hers lies a demon 😂

[@johkerx9107]

@chrisver7686 facts. People still say there isn't any foreshadowing in the series, while the problem lies in most readers because Kubo isn't just spoon feeding us like most mangakas actually do

[@elchappa7773]

The Unohana reveal has been hinted at since VERY early on in the series. 1. Everyone, even Captains powerful as Shunsui and Ukitake are shown to be afraid of her. 2. Her fake name, Retsu, means "violent" or fierce", hinting at her true nature. 3. In the SS arc, she is the first Captain to notice something is off about Aizen's death (even while under complete hypnosis. When she arrives in the Underground Meeting assembly area after Aizen waxes Hitugaya, he acknowledges that he thought she would be showing up soon. 4. If you recall Kenpachi's backstory flashback from the SS arc, he tells Yachiru that he named her after the one person he admires and respects. The First Kenpachi, Unohana Yachiru is that person. 5. Even from the first databooks, her total combat ability score was 540/600, which is second only to Aizen and Yamamoto who both have a total of 560/600. Her special ability was also listed as kenjutsu, NOT healing.

[@jeremiahsmith7706]

Kenpachi is a title that's is given to the most bloodthirsty captain. The 11th squad captain spot is reserved for the Kenpachi, meaning to become the current Kenpachi you have to kill the old one. Zanjutsu is swordsmanship, the art of the sword. Kenpachi doesn't know swordsmanship, they feared he'd be too strong with it so they stopped Yamamoto from teaching him. Crazy to think Kenny is so strong despite just swinging a sword around like a stick. That's what Shunsui decides to teach him through Unohana, the original Kenpachi

[@QuantumFishFTW]

Yep and the tradition was likely established after she retired to squad 4 so everyone after that has been killing the previous Kenpachi to take the title. But I assume Yamamoto can still appoint anyone as Kenpachi if they fall in battle, or transfer out etc.

Unohana is so badass. Now a lot of things make sense. Previously in his flashback, Zaraki said he named his lieutenant Yachiru after the one person he admired. That's Unohana. Also, Unohana really did stab Kenpachi and he passed out for a bit. You can still see his blood on her face from the stab. She just chill about it like nothing happened. lol I love her.

It's stated that you can only become a Kenapchi if you finish off the previous one. My own theory is that because she retired and became the leader of Squad 4 the title could be passed on because she wasn't a Kenapchi and only ONE Kenapchi can be around.

While some may have felt like this plot twist seemingly came out of nowhere, Conversely throughout the series, Unohana was foreshadowed a few times despite her gentle personality and maternal figure of soul society. 1. Her braided hairstyle that she’s always wore at the front of her chest was to cover her scar. 2. She was the only one who saw through Aizen’s hypnosis and that he gave credit to for doing so back in soul society, fleeing from her knowing that if he fought her it would’ve been trouble, a death match for him. 3. Back in Hueco Mundo, the clean up squad of hollow soldiers known as the Exequias fled from her instead of putting up a fight knowing they didn’t stand a chance. 4. Shunsui and Ukitake as senior captains were shown being scared of/creeped out by her in the turn back the pendulum/Vizard flashback arc, as well as others being nervously afraid when she makes an eerie serious smile, which was only meant to be seen as a gag initially. 5. She the 2nd oldest after Yama and last remaining member of the OG 13 court guard squads just now revealed. Needless to say it was a plot twist and a half that was subtly built up as a lady of the sword as a great character that just happens to be a lady: A Blood Prime Death Goddess. Fun Fact: Unohana is the only female character in this series with no fan service, that is beneath her. An Epitome of a woman above men, the kind that makes the best out of them, just like Krista Sudmalis who invented the GigaChad.

17:30 Because it's the only way for Zaraki to get stronger. He can't unlock his shika/bankai without overcoming his self impose seal on himself and the only way to do that is for Zaraki to willingly kill and surpass Unohana.

As mentioned in the video, Unohana is the first one to receive the title Kenpachi, and also the very first captain of the 11th Squad. She moved to squad 4 (for some unknown reason, yet), so squad 11 had to have a new captain. Zaraki is the 11th captain because he killed the 10th captain. Anyone who becomes the captain of 11th Squad holds the 'Kenpachi' title by tradition.

There were only 1 or 2 times where I holder of the title was not defeated yet it was passed down.

Yachiru never killed any captain of the 11th squad. She was ordered to leave the seat officer of captain of the 11th squad vacant to dedicate herself on healing abilities. Kirinji tought her these abilities in order for her to assume the position of captain of the 4th squad. However Yachiru never once forsook the title of Kenpachi, despite the fact that we had already 5 captains of the 11th squad. All claimed the title Kenpachi but none ever fought for that title except Zaraki when killed the previous captain of the 11th squad, however, the true title remains with Unohana Yachiru a.k.a Yachiru Kenpachi

[@tyshawnstith3673]

Lmfaooo it's Kenpachi having a super sayin buffs 😂😂

[@atticusrez4343]

I'll help ya out here. As others have pointed out Kenpachi is a title for the most blood thirsty. Unohana stepped down from the position and others have taken the spot all the way to current date. Kenpachi Zaraki is the 11th Kenpachi in this line. However, since in order to officially gain that title. The previous Kenpachi has to been slain by their successor. Which means ALL Kenpachi's after Unohana from the 2nd Kenpachi to the current one 11th (Zaraki) are technically not Kenpachi. Since Unohana is still alive. Now as far as what's happening in this fight, its not illusions. Note: After Zaraki coughed up blood it landed on Unohana's face. And after he regained consciences the blood drop from his cough was still on her face. She is healing him and bringing him back. Tho I'm not entirely certain by what method other then kido?

[@mjfII]

Kenpachi (剣八, Sword-Eight) is the title that is only given to the strongest Shinigami. It is an ironclad rule that there can be only one Kenpachi per generation, meaning that the predecessor must die for the killer to succeed the title. To inherit this title, the candidate must kill the current Kenpachi in battle.

[@HoloTWWOriginal]

It's not an iron clad rule. Assume a kenpachi dies in battle to a hollow. Does the hollow become the new kenpachi? Does the lineage of Kenpachi stop? No one else can be kenpachi after that?

@HoloTWWOriginal How can a Hollow become the next Kenpachi when it's literally stated that this title is for the strongest "SHINIGAMI" lmao. But yeah, it's not an iron clad rule to kill the previous Kenpachi

[@muchoyurdem5260]

@estebanbr7596 No!! The whole Kenpachi title was given "after." Yamamoto created the 13 court guards, and ge became the head captain Unohana founded the 11th division who got the spot of "Kenpachi." The rule is/was always since the founding of that title that "the person that beats/kills the Kenpachi takes over the title which means the strongest "Shinigami." While it's true that Yamamoto is/was the strongest "Shinigami," he still needs to challenge and beat the holder of the title Kenpachi to get it. So 1. I don't think Yamamoto was interested in that title after he founded the Gotei , so he never challenged Unohana, the previous holder of that title. 2. He was already the headcaptain, and the 11th division was established for "Kenpachi" About Ichibei, it's for one the same, which is 1. True stronger than both (Yamaji, Unohana), but he still has to challenge the holder of that title. If he doesn't want to, then Unohana holds that title still 2. He is a Royal guard he doesn't have any business with the Gotei, or better with the rules of becoming Kenpachi, and even if he wanted that title he still has to stay at the royal palace so he can't take over that spot, name, and 11th divion. And the other reason, which is still a theory, would be, We don't know if Ichibei is really a Shinigami as he lived before the Soul Society existed he also had his "weapon" before the Zanpakuto was created so its also a mystery if his weapon is actually a Zanpakuto

She just put him on the verge of death to allow him to grow stronger and then she would heal him

[@LuisEducation]

Unohana is nicknamed the blood of death, because of that he has the title Kenpachi, the title of the strongest assassin. each generation only has to have one Kepanchi, therefore they must fight, to determine who is the true owner of the Kenpachi title. and there is something more interesting, Unohana's real name is Unohana Yachiru... Yachiru's name is similar to the name of his Vize captain Zaraki-Kenpachi😁

[@tijonjacobs8484]

And the reason why kenpachi zaraki and unohana are fighting to the death is because there has to be one kenpachi each generation it's an ironclad rule so in order for kenpachi zaraki to fully inherent the name kenpachi the current kenpachi unohana must die

[@Reborn7456]

Since Kenpachi Zaraki gets stronger every time he is near death, Unohana plan is to keep almost killing him and as soon as he is about to die she heals him with her power basically on an infinite loop until he keeps getting stronger to his original strength

[@HeroTrains]

Amazing episode!

[@carmillastyria4172]

There's a hint on what happened when zaraki thought he was dying .... Unohana still has the blood in her face when she stabbed his throat ... Yet the stab wound wasn't there anymore ... "You will not die" Unohanna already knows what's gonna happen here she's already dedicated the moment the battle started

[@dunamisophisgameplay1646]

That is Unohana's/Yachiru's bankai. The red blade that went through Zaraki.

[@joeffcatapang2494]

she was the 1st kenpachi then moved to 4th squad, trained to be a medic..the next kenpachi was passed on by killing the previous kenpachi..thats how from the 2nd up to zaraki..

[@captianjyuubster8768]

Zaraki is the 11th kenpachi, the title is passed from one person beating a kenpachi to become the new one except unohana. She gave up her role after “losing” to zaraki. When you guy get the chance read the spirits are forever with you light novel that talks about the 7th and 8th kenpachi and some other cool details from bleach lore

[@JMK248]

Also kenpachis are not reincarnated. In order to be kenpachi you have to be killed by the challenger. Zaraki killed the previous Kenpachi. Unohana was never challenged because yamaji thought she would be useful as a healer so she transferred to squad 4.

[@uchihalevi3614]

You guys are forgetting... Unohana is also a healer, she's the 1st kenpachi for a reason he wants to keep her enemies heal so that she can enjoy the fight and made them suffer. That's why when she cut his throat, He's already healed and zaraki forgets and doesn't remember it.

[@justhere6507]

This is a spoiler

[@nick0888]

pretty sure they are going to focus the next episode the most part on the fight between unohana and zaraki (the kenpachis) and somewhere they going to add ichigo and renji going to oetsu nimaiya place

[@aytgh]

We know five of the eleven Kenpachis by name and one more by reference.
