So everything I guessed last chapter pretty much was confirmed
Except the part the 'Zeros' aren't supposed to be lighthearted and cheerful.
Yeah, they looked like thugs and they are elite force at the same time = turned out to patronising. Nice figuring that out. The rest was not confirmed or preety much confirmed, again it's your own story.
The reason why they are taking those specific individuals with them?
We don't know if anything shady is behind it, because we don't know their reason yet.
The reason why they are not taking Zaraki?
It will most likely be explained when they tell four mentioned before why they chose exactly them.
NOTHING was confirmed it's again your imagination at its wildest.
As for Unohana sparing with Zaraki... that's actually a big deal, and could build up to her being strong. Guess Kubo will TELL us what he could have easily shown us but didn't think of that in the past. Especially since there was Zaraki's flashback about practicing kendo(agreeing with the emphasis on "Retsu" part in this chapter, though).
Oh, and good luck with the forseen "three-sided war". Trexx25 gave good reasons how 0 could obliterate G13 here and now. Guess they will help rebuild SS ... and then will destroy it.
Anyway, what's strange is that "killer-bee" type didn't get a single panel. He was even intentionally covered in the group image. I'm interested is that some kind of foreshadowing or Kubo doesn't know how to handle this character.
