From whatswithjeff.com: "Bleach 524 manga chapter was recently released. And it was an great battle between the two vicious Kenpachis, Captain Unohana “First Kenpachi” vs Zaraki Kenpachi. Zaraki, as usual, swings his sword with all his might, using only one hand, but Unohana was faster and more skilled with using the sword. Who do you think will win? Will Kenpachi finally learn the way of the sword? Does Unohana need to sacrifice her life for Kenpachi’s sake? Please continue reading my Bleach 524 review below."
As much as Unohana is interesting and clearly very skillful.... I find it "WTF" material to believe that as strong as Kenpachi was perceived, he not only lost during the fight in the Shinigami world....but he lost to the fucking FALSE 'Final Boss of Bleach'....That's a cockslap to Kenpachi fans imho....he was used as a tool to demonstrate the monstrous power that is the Real Final Boss of Bleach, so that even a man such as he lost to a Fake-Final Boss. I'm glad he didn't die there but, he'll find a way to win.... just how....maybe in a near dying moment, he'll finally be able to speak to his Zanpakuto......that'd be the only way he can Anime-logically become stronger and overpower without dying.
@MoreRPG - I honestly would think Unohana will die or, just be the one to get seriously injured and almost die before being saved by her apprentice at the last second or something.... People already have died in Bleach so I'd personally think no one is out of reach from death necessarilllyy since it's nearing the end. Oh well, only time will tell!
1) Power-sucking eyepatch
2) No released state of the Zanpakutou, not even Shikai
3) Holding the Zanpakutou with one hand
Sounds like we'll get to know at least one more soon.
That's how this started
