Bleach Chapter 525 Discussion

Wow Kenny was on another level. As a child he already was stronger than the first Kenpachi wtf

oh so Zaraki is not really a super saiyan that evolves with each near death experience but rather he just subconciously supressed his old monster powers, Unohana should not die with that kind of lame sin

I'm all for killing off Ichigo and making this all about Kenpachi :D

this chapter still proving why Kenpachi is one of the best in this series

As much as I love Kenpachi, as much as I love the development he's getting, this chapter was rather pathetic seeing as that development Kenpachi got came at the cost of Unohana's character being degraded from a ruthless beast to that of a caring mother-like person. Bullshit. People will hate me and ask me why I read Bleach if I hate it, but 2/5 for the chapter.

Lol, so Kenpachi thought he was losing consciousness but he was really just getting killed and revived over and over again?



Unohana in the past would go around killing people? Cool beans.

So this explains why Kenpachi lost to Ichigo but won so easily against Nnoitora.



Awesome flashback, although I can't help but feel there's more to it and we will get more of it soon.

So Unohana is a nut-case too.



Kenpachi was that strong when he was a child... to be able to defeat her.

Ichigo was lucky that he got away then.



What the fuck am I reading.

This chapter clearly stated that:

Ichigo was STRONG enough to bring Kenpachi on the verge of death.



Kenpachi limited himself against Unohana and Ichigo was actually strong enough to increase Kenpachi's power enough for him to own Nnoitora.



I dont think so. Shes constantly taking him through a cycle of near death/recovery. the one fight he had with ichigo wouldnt have had that much of an effect. It seems that its because Unohana is doing the 'killing' that its working. She was the first person he held himself back on. Therefore, if shes the one putting it over him, he'll want to win more and more, thus releasing his shackles. Its more that he was always the strongest out there, he would subconsciously limit himself to the same as his opponents reiatsu, and therefor thinking that they were strong enough to make a good fight. His fight with ichigo makes more sense now. I mean a captain being defeated by a shikai and just winning? The guy who killed the previous captain? We always thought it was ichigo's awesome reaitsu (which was a key part), but if kenpachi was fighting with the strength he used to defeat nnoitra and yammy, ichigo wouldnt have stood a chance in shikai. Hey, maybe aizen knew this about kenpachi, and orchestrated the fight between them (however he did it) just to get ichigo to grow stronger.



So unohana is taking him to the brink of death and healing him over and over. The reason she said one of them would have to die makes more sense now. Kenpachi will eventually be strong enough to deal her a fatal blow in one strike. Then when she's dead, he'll completely unshackle himself and be uberpachi.

So Kenpachi was essentially always the strongest, but in order to not get bored with 'weaklings' he weakened himself.

Shit man, it's scary to think kid Kenpachi was able to overtake Unohana if he had wanted to.



It's also scary to see how old Unohana was just as bored with people and had no problem with that giant stack of corpse next to her.(And killing people ruthlessly  for that matter)



I wonder how strong he'll be once Unohana brings him back to his 'old self'.
