I'm just gonna quote this comment of mine from Manga;Gate.

So Unohana's dead .... or is she? We all know what Kubo's like. Hell, we were all saying that Byakuya died like a man only to find out he's still alive. Whose to say Unohana's dead? Either way, I didn't like this chapter. I don't know why, but I just didn't like it. It wasn't the fact that Zaraki unlocked his Zanpakuto ... no wait, it might just be that. All this time, Zaraki fought without a Zanpakuto. If his power is finally unleashed, then why does he need one now? And add to that this bullsh*t that's going on with Ichigo having a part of every single damn thing in the Bleachverse. Next thing we know, he's part cat and his soul is also modified.
