My man Kenpachi cried and that look in his eyes earlier, I really do like the current Bleach chapters.
But yeah, I'm confused, did he die or didn't he, Kubo should elaborate that part in Unohana's flashback,.
When Kenpachi woke up Unohana still had the blood on her face from the neck wound she inflicted, so it seems like Kenpachi levels up each time he gets very close to death, which basically makes him into a healed person. So with him its a mortal stab or nothing.
This actually explains why Kenpachi got up so fast after VR beatdown he received too.
