Bleach Chapter 523 Discussion

Wow! Yachiru looked like some angry ghost from asian horror movie. Kayako/Sadako anyone else? :D Anyway, I loved it, got hyped for their fight. Not sure about one of them dying though... It's Bleach after all. And even if, I hope it's not going to be Unohana? If it will be her, it'll go just like with Yamamoto - FINALLY in the real battle, showing her bankai, true power, everybody thinks she won... And because of some stupid mistake, Zaraki have chance to finish her :/

Well, still - not losing my hope, so far.

Btw. Any news about anime coming back? I already miss it (and got tired from Naruto SD :c ).

Unohana is... scary!! @.@ In my mind, she probably just became the scariest Bleach character x.x

Really, I never thought I'd say this, but... I'm worried about Zaraki x.x

I find it suspicious that the whole "its nigh impossible to differ a full sword spirit from human" thing is going on parallel with this fight.



I would not put it past Kubo from going on and saying that Zaraki Kenpachi is Unohana's sword and killing intent she has abandoned or something like that(which strangely would explain why he appeared in Ichigo's  inner world).



Just one of thousand ways to circumvent the "they both die" idea.

Unohana vs. Kenpachi!!! Fuck i wish this could get animated!!! That would be an epic episode :/

Love it, unohana is a badass.

I would'nt have loved this chapter half as much if not for that one page where Unohana, or I guess she can be called Yachiru now? when she turns around, that cold stare, the dark background, first time in a long time that a chapter has sent chills down my spine and its thanks largely to that one page.



The thing I didn't like in this chapter was the ending, 'one has to die'

it's a stupid plot point because it means one of them has to become as powerful as them both combined for this training to be worth it. Otherwise whats the point of putting one killing machine up against another alleged killing machine if the result is you will now have only one killing machine rather than two?



Personally I hope the death is metaphorical, Zaraki's old ways have to 'die' so his zanpakuto can awaken. Though perhaps maybe that's how Unohana used to be, perhaps her zanpakuto was sealed like his is and so she changed in order to release her zanpakuto. out there prediction but you have to wonder why she's the most secretive member of the gotei 13.

To everyone whos surprised about Unohanas 180. Consider it reverting. She did a 180 before, shes done another and completed a revolution. She is now who she was.



Yeah people fearing her was a portrayed a little bit comically, but the intention was always there, to show how powerful she actually is.



1) Kyouraku laughs at being worried about peeving unohana. Pretty sure Ukitake was with him

2) In Hueco Mundo, the guy Rukia n them beat ordered his troops to retreat. She didnt even blatantly threaten him. Even the enemies knew how powerful she was

3) Ichigo, insnaely strong as he is, feared her power too. On the way back from HM to the human world, she politely insists on taking the lead. He lets her, worried about pissing her off too.



Yeah. All these stupidly strong guys (kyouraku is third after Unohana im pretty sure - consider her cracked Aizens shield with just his shikai, while ichigos bankai GT did nothing. Then aizen dodges kyourakus attack, while just blocking/taking head on everyone elses attack. Even he silently acknowledges Kyourakus strength. Oh and he beat Espada 1 with his shikai too) only joked about being worried about pissing off Unohana. Right.



You cant say you werent aware of how stupidly and insanely powerful she is. Should also have taken into account the fact Yamaji never sent her out to fight. She was a captain, shes obviously strong enought to, so why not? Yes we can delve again into the whole argument about different types of medics, but why bother? Even without knowing what we know now, it was a pretty much deadend argument, as there was too much vagueness surrounding it, and things could only be inferred, everyone believing what they want. But i digress.

Wow. Wonder how Unohana managed to put up that facade for so long. She's no different than Zaraki

This complete change in character (design) really bugs me as it seems really random. Like Kubo didn't create her to be like that in the first place and just recently thought "hey, let's completely change that". Which is probably how it actually happened...
