Bleach Manga/Anime Discussion Thread II

[Miburohunter929]

Chapters out:

....Is Zaraki pretty much a Saiyan on crack birthed by a terminator if I understood this thing right?

[Miburohunter929]

Also: Holy shit, Unohana.

Damn, girl.

[Dark Soul # 7]

So for Espada class arrancar, Stern Ritter class quincies and average captains Kenpachi won't take off his eyepatch just to keep the fight for as long as possible and then he generally kicks ass.

But against Unohana he tears it off from the get go and still gets his ass kicked. Then he cries in surprisingly unmanly way.

I thought it was fairly manly myself.

I mean, she's practically his idol, and his life goal wrapped in one and she tells him he got softer, whips his ass, and then is about to murder him.


I mean, he named Yachiru, after Yachiru Unohana, after all.

That means that circumstances behind the crying a very manly. The crying itself isn't rendered very manly, at least IMO.

kubo, you better not fuck this up. there is so much here to work with.

despite how it looks, i dont sense any hate or anger from either of them.

Honestly, I didn't even know he was crying until I read the chapter the second time, so I think it was pretty decent myself.

looking back on it, wow. never thought i'd see kenny cry.

doesnt make him a wuss. they are manly tears of men.

I'm not saying that it was bad or anything. Just not as manly as I'd expect from a crying Kenpachi.

and you know something? this is the first real interaction we've seen from these two since the manga started. in fact, as far as i can remember, save for the first big captain meeting, these two have never shared even a panel or scene together.

I think that they've shared an omake or two and during general captain meetings they've both been present. Otherwise yeah. This is the first significant exchange between them on-screen. And it's bleeping awesome.

[Kage Kisaragi]

This is how I read that scene.

[Iron_twister]

Well, Unohana has pretty much obliterated her years being in informed ability status into untraceable pieces in one single chapter...And it's both satisfying and horrifying at the same time.

Satisfying to see why she's so feared, horrifying in that it actually gets one of the most dangerous characters in Soul Society to actually realize how screwed he is.

Kenpachi is Unohana's sword spirit

I had a similiar idea before this chapter, but after reading this chapter i doubt thats the case. Ken-chan's specifically says, before fighting her no matter what he fought, he felt nothing, which implies he existed without before he knew of her. His words "I looked up to you." implies he was a admire long before she mended her ways. The chapter before hand also implied that they both were wounded by one another.

Though her last words and insight into his abilities could reforce the idea that they are connected in a fashion similar to a Shinigami and a Zanpakuto.
