Bleach Chapter 520 Discussion

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.

Shunsui becoming captain? Expected.



Unexpected? Unohana being a Kenpachi and her name being Yachiru. Aww shit, Kenpachi is about to get crazzzzy.

Shunsui Kyōraku as Captain Commander is gonna teach Zaraki the art of killing? Art of killing = Zaraki getting a bankai = End of the world. YES PLEASE!!



Holy shit that ending!! Unohana was the first Kenpachi and her real name is Yachiru? Zaraki and Yachiru had a relationship in the past? Oh shi-

What a great chapter i haven't been this excited for anything bleach related since the beginning of the aizen conspiracy. I hope Kubo doesn't troll the fandom again since things are finally looking up for bleach again. It may of took him a long time but the bleach universe is finally starting to coming together as one cohesive entity in this finale and I'm fucking excited.

Kyouraku the new Captain Commander as predicted by others on the last chapters, cant wait for Zaraki's training to power up

damn i guess Renji is one of the Special War Potentials

and lol Unohana looks fucking badass and ready to kick some ass

I remember the seed for Unohana power hype was planted from the info mention in the databook long ago, I didn't expect it be tie into her being the first Kenpachi though. That was an amazing reveal.



I always liked how Zaraki Kenpachi was basically the "Ichigo of Soul Society" in terms of potential and now they really gonna expand on it. Unohana teaching him gotta lead to some amusing and badass moments.

HELL YES!



Shunsui becomes CC (while maintaining Nanao-chan), Unohana "Yachiru" is revealed to be the first ever "Kenpachi" (I wasn't scared of her all these years for no reason), and now they're going to teach Zaraki Kenpachi "how to kill", in other words, how to be a Shinigami!



It's finally time for all that hype around Kenpachi to take fruit!



So basically, Ichigo's getting a new Bankai, Renji is possibly getting a power up, Unohana is training Kenpachi, Shiba clan is training with Fullbringers, and Grimmjow/Urahara/Aizen/Isshin/Ryuken are definitely up to something.



Not to mention, the Zero Squad/Spirit King's "interest" in Ichigo (who just reacted to possibly the fastest Shinigami so far in this story).  



5/5! This final arc is definitely going to be the best, the entire story is coming together beautifully and I won't doubt Kubo for a second.  Just waiting on Rukia now ^^.

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..

So is it safe to say that Unohana is the next war potential?



Ichigo

Kenpachi

Aizen

Unohana



Who is the last? And are the war potentials strictly down to the Shinigami side or can it be somebody else? Ishida is meant to have some uber power, and there's gotta be something up with Isshin too. Maybe even Ryuuken?Renji?
