Kenpachi 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 (that's why someone has to die)

[@nightsfall3n]

[@sepg5084]

Only Genryusai was strong enough to handle giving Zaraki Kenpachi sword lessons. Now that he's dead, only Unohana is strong enough to take on the role of doing it again. The original Gotei 13 was supposed to be the strongest, and she is the only one left. Trivia: Kenpachi means Strongest. Zaraki is a place in Seretei. Zaraki Kenpachi was a nameless orphan from Zaraki region, and so that became his namesake.

11:05 Roshi can't help to crack up because he knows the truth. Kenny admired her so much that he named his vice-captain after her.

[@TheoVorster]

The likely reason why Kyōraku got promoted is because he (along with Ukitake) were Yamamoto’s personal students and considered the two of them to be like his sons. So besides Unohana (who has her own job to do) they probably are the most senior of the remaining Captains. And since Ukitake’s health isn’t great, Kyōraku becomes the most natural pick to replace Yamamoto.

[@GeoX242]

Also because Shunsui is generally the strongest after Yamamoto when using his bankai and definitely a more capable leader than Unohana even if she wished to be the captain commander

[@darrius3022]

@@GeoX242 No, Unohana is strongerand deadly then all of the remaining Gotei 13 by a Longshot besides Zaraki. Shunsi was raised by Yamamoto so his thinking and ideals are more in line with his in his youth making him the natural choice so they can keep things running without major issues or changes during war. As Zaraki stated him and Unohana are criminals but its excused because their power makes them better assets and allies than foes for soul society. Unohana is given more leeway because she proved valuable asset during war with Quincy but she is still a potential threat in Central 46 eyes because her nature, they'd never allow her to lead. Look how long Zaraki has been Captain and helped and they're against him learning more.

If he were more powerful than Zaraki he would've been a special threat. He wasn't because while he is ruthless like Yamamoto use to be he's not the most power or anywhere close.

Remember back in SS arc Yamamoto claimed how Shunsui and Ukitake were the oldest after Unohana, and became the first Captains through the shinigami academy and he even trained them personally. They have always excelled and been very powerful, not to mention them going head up against Yama and Shunsui taking on and beating Espada #1. It’s pretty clear to see that he is one of the strongest of the current Gotei and he’s most suitable for resolving conflicts, like the other Captains arguing last episode, or showing leadership when Squad Zero arrived. He’s a goof ball but when he’s serious; he’ll be ruthless. It always seemed obvious to me that he would take the role of Commander.

[@zaee..]

unohana really put kenpachi in his place 😂

[@advid01]

it's been awhile since i read the manga, but I think she actually kills Kenpachi and revives him again and again. every time he almost dies he gets stronger because he wants to fight more, so it makes perfect sense to put a healer against him to ramp him up fast.

[@truthcrusader360]

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.

The scene with the kid Zaraki Kenpachi is from the times of the first generation of the Gotei 13, back when Unohana(Yachiru) was still the first Kenpachi. It's implied that Yachiru Unohana was never defeated for someone to become the second Kenpachi. She simply changed occupation(stopped being the Captain of Squad 11 and become the Captain of Squad 4(the healers)) and the next best swordsman became the second Kenpachi. And yet, a kid Zaraki managed to injure her while she was in her prime (I mean, Zaraki still lost back then, but he was the first person to actually manage that against Yachiru). In a way, considering that no one ever actually won the Kenpachi title from her, all of the subsequent Kenpachis have kind of been fakes. And the only one that Unohana considered as a true candidate was Zaraki.

[@matthewhelland9258]

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure she only fought him in base form.

[@sancturillore]

​@@matthewhelland9258 I don't think what you said have anything to do with what I talked about in my comment. To summarize my comment in points: -The flashback was from back when she was still the first captain of squad 11; - She fought kid Zaraki and won (and gave him the eye scar), but she got injured in the chest; - She never lost her title from being defeated, instead she left it behind her and the next best candidate in the Gotei 13 of the time became the second Kenpachi. So, what are you talking about?

[@sancturillore]

@@matthewhelland9258 Wait, I think I realized what you mean. Are you commenting on me said that she was in her prime when she fought kid Zaraki? If so, when yes, she didn't use her shikai nor bankai against kid zaraki. Heck, her shikai isn't meant for combat at all, and her bankai is for annihilating the enemy. So yes, she fought kid Zaraki in her base form, which is how she fights most of the time, with most of her power coming from her zanjutsu, aka her capabilities with the sword, with every other powers she has being only there to support and her swordsmanship being the core. However, I don't understand how her fighter kid Zaraki in her base form means anything when it comes to her being in her prime at the time. Perhaps you think that going Shikai and then Bankai increases one's stats, but that's a misunderstanding of how zanpacto work. Not all zanpacto have forms that boost the user's stats. Ichigo's does do that, but Unohana's does not. In other words, Unohana's physical and Reiatsu capabilities are the exact same regardless of if her zanpacto is in base, shikai or bankai mode.

Definitely not a random pic the three captains that have been captains for over a hundred years are unohana Shunsui and ukitake. The latter two were the first captains to graduate from old man yamas School and were the first two captains promoted from that school. Obviously unohana is not going be for the reasons detailed in this episode. And since he was the one that old man Yama basically raised as his own son, definitely the wisest. But also willing to think outside the box clearly. It's less that he's a random pick more than the obvious choice.

central 46 didn't know about this episode when they made shunsui head captain. so her reason isnt an excuse

Kyoraku was the clear choice. He has the experience. He has the power, and the clear head needed for command. And he was trained and raised by Yama himself.

[@adriancuevas484]

Lupa saying "You need a blanket man?" because in his mind Zaraki was dreaming, but he actually was just a blink away from death. The reason why only Onohana can train him is because she's the only one who has the power to kill him and heal him. That way he can become stronger each time he "dies" and comes back to life.

[@funyarinpa336]

Just in case you're wondering how far back this was being implied: The leader of Aizens Execution squad (or rather the entire squad) was tasked to take on any shinigami regardless of their power. Ichigo was known as a force to be reckoned with at the time and the squadleader attacked him with no hesitation whatsoever. However when he first met Unohana in Las Noches and she told him her name that same guy ordered his entire squad to retreat in an instant while looking visibly shaken. It seems like even Aizen was making sure no one provokes her/forces her into combat so Unohana will remain a pacifist instead of becoming an active force and wiping out his people.

[@pablolacalle6098]

Insane to think all this time Soul Society actively worked to nerf Kenpachi 😭

[@Kaden786]

I mean to be fair within reason. You wouldn't want a Kenpachi who knows how to utilize all 4 arts efficiently when they are as strong as Zaraki. Since rebelling or going against the higher-ups would be easy as hell for him.

[@KingKP96]

The lore about the past Kenpachis was always super fascinating to me. Even in the manga we only ever learned about Unohana being the 1st and Zaraki being the 11th. Technically we got an image and a name of the 10th Kenpachi (that Zaraki killed) but nothing beyond that. There was also a light novel after the manga that expanded on both the 7th & 8th Kenpachis who were both insanely busted characters, but there was never any real confirmation if they were actually canon or not.

[@eddiewalter6003]

Unohana definitely feels like the trope "I'm a healer to repent for the fuckery of my youth" And also "I'll only draw my blade again with the intent to kill", or something

[@sweezxo]

I always wanted to know why squad 4 was always scared of their captain and it all makes sense now, shes a demon and her eyes doesn’t mean she’s comforted or relaxed, it’s bc she’s trying to calm her bloodlust or true savage nature

8:05, Aizen is locked in muken which is where they are fighting, an infinitely large space, im not suprised they didnt see aizen because its infinitely large. Theres one door into muken and im not sure how far or close aizen is in muken or if he has any means of moving in any direction as hes sealed. It could be possible aizen was moved to a further location so he wouldn't interfere. Yachiru and Zaraki are fighting because they both hold the title of kenpachi still, to gain the title you must kill the previous user so technically no kenpachi from yachiru has been a true kenpachi and the other reason is a spoiler.
