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...
She spent whole manga avoiding fights.
EVERYONE including Aizen of all people avoided her or any sort of direct confrontations with her.
Arrancar masked fodder soldiers RAN AWAY from her after she identified herself.
Yamaji specifically kept her out of VR fight.
So its more than likely she was always like that, just restraining herself.
Yamaji dying I guess was the breaking point.
I have to agree with grandy_UiD. While you make decent points Fai, I personally viewed most of those instances of her being held back because of her role as a medic than anything else. We all know that medics in the battlefield are supposed to be held back to tend to the injured. Not enter the battlefield themselves and risk the possibility of injury. Because if that happened, they wouldn't be able to help their comrades.
Her role as a medic does not explain why Aizen of all people would avoid confronting her, while he gladly trolled Hitsugaya, nor why Arrancar ran away from her.
The fact that she is medic ALONE would have been incentive big enough to face her, yet...
And yes, she WANTS to be a medic, to redeem herself, but it takes so little to go over the edge. She seems like female version of Kenshin, frankly.
