am i the only one how thinks that the author no longer have good ideas that's why he is just putting random things to continue this series? In cases such as making Ichigo a quincy and a bunch of other instances I would agree but this is actually kubo using a random power up he's rarely shown known as "foreshadowing". This revelation was hinted at a very long time ago when kenpachi named himself and yachiru.Even the Quincy part was hinted (Ichigo = True Blood according to Grand Fisher, Aizen saying Ichigo is extraordinary but Isshin interrupted him before continuing his "You're human and..")
It's funny how people are trying to make up reasons for Bleach being still bad when it's obviously getting pretty good, whether it's in the ratings (last 2 weeks it was in the top 5, this week it's in the 7th place) or the general opinions of people, or the actual content. It's also pretty ironic how people think Oda and Kishimoto were/are planning things out for a long time and Kubo isn't. (I know Kubo was just milking money in the last 2 arcs, but that doesn't necessarily mean he didn't have plans for Bleach's "last" arc)
Though I'm still wondering why do people take it that seriously when it's supposed to be just entertainment..
Kubo obviously did a lot of planning - for example, Shinji was on one of first chapter covers, Aizen and Ichigo facing Juha Bach(or Soul King, its unclear since its just a black human-shaped shadow) was on the double-spread at the start of Fullbring arc, fishy-stuff about Badge was foreshadowed by Ishida at the end of SS arc, etc(I am sure I am missing some of that). Yet people still act all "NO WAI, ASSPULL" when it becomes relevant.
While all it takes is Kishi using one throw-away name from few chapters ago(Madara) for the name of the supposed final villain and entire community starts praising his name.
It seems, people just love to underplay it in Bleach due to the whole "omg trolling" fad that has been going on for past few years.
I can't wait till people do the whole "asspull freak out" again, when its revealed that Rukia was somehow involved with either Ichigo's birth or Masaki's death (since, as I said before, we already know she was in Karakura before and had her memory erased)

wow nice catch there, so Zaraki's love interest is Unohana
Other translation has Zaraki say he named Yachiru after "the strongest person he ever heard of"(hence "Yachiru" is like "Battōsai" in Kenshin - fabled and feared person, hence why Unohana changed her name) , so let's not rush to assumptions - Zaraki is most likely younger than her by more than few hundreds of years, after all.

An interesting plot-twist at the end. So from MrSonic's post it looks like Kenpachi knew the previous Kenpachi and Yachiru, who in both cases is Unohana. Their training should be interesting.
You don't think there was a Kenpachi between the current and Unohana? Weren't there a bunch of Shinigami who were witness to Kenpachi killing the previous though? Or was that something shown during the Bount arc which means it probably doesn't matter to the true story of Bleach?
I read too many mangas and forget some details about all of them haha. :(
Edit: I don't think Unohana was the previous Kenpachi. During the Turn Back the Pendulum arc, wasn't she already Divison 4 captain? And Zaraki wasn't around then? He must be quite old to have a history with a woman who was in the Gotei 13 1000 years ago. Heh.
Zaraki is the 11th Kenpachi of SS - that means there were 10 before him and Unohana most likely who STARTED the tradition of calling that position a Kenpachi - its quite obvious that Unohana is one of Yamaji's accomplices from Divisions-times. We do know that she is older than Shunsui and Ukitake, though.

3. It was hint of Ichigo's 'amazing' speed? When Yakuza-dude punched him? It's kind of frustrating to see it only when Kubo remebers about it.
Still: 4/5.
Im pretty sure he hurt himself when he punched Renji. Renji didnt move, and the top rightmost panel shows Yakuza being surprised with the '!'
Plus he punched Ichigo in the face. Its hard to tense your cheek muscles enough to do what was done.
He would know.
Renji apparently just blocked.
Ichigo apparently moved fast enough to counter-attack without anyone even noticing it.
As i said, there was no reaction after punching ichigo, but he notices something when he punches renji. Then he clenches his fist and turns around, immediately dismissing Renji? I dont know, i just cant see it being ichigo. Unless it was his Blut Vene for a split second? Plus its kinda vague, with the fact he doesn't mention any names.
It was not even a full-power attack. For someone of RG level that was equal to a friendly slap.
Also - He notices that his arm is broken, as he said latter on. By Ichigo.
