He did use it against Ichigo,Nnoitra and Unohana. Despite this, Oetsu and the other Zero Squad members are fine with this 1v1 against Yhwach.

... Oetsu knows Yhwach is strong enough to kill and literally annihilate Yamamoto and knows that he also has access to Yamamoto's Bankai. Being the First Kenpachi, Unohana started the legend behind it, she wasnt handed down the title by defeating her predecessor. The Captain did not formally use Shikai during her battle with Kenpachi before using Bankai. She was given it. When the story of how the Kenpachi came to be, a ploy by Yachiru to bring even more challenges to her, there were many who wanted to bring the Sword Beast/Demon down for various reasons; either to bring her to justice, vengeance against her or simply glory. Which makes it all the more confusing why she would be named as the strongest shinigami if Yamamoto was stronger. Why did Unohana, probably the most powerful captain after Yamamoto and Soul Society's best healer, die again?

Why?

While Ichigo and Renji go up against the Asauchi in which… Looking around he saw Nanao with her jaw to the floor, Nemu looking like she was ready to cry, Rangiku still in a daze, Unohana with a … Kenpachi Zaraki is a Soul Reaper and the Captain of Squad 11 in the 13 Court Guard Squads.

He is currently a captain in the 1st Division. Zaraki Kenpachi disengaged his lips from Isane's own not sure what to make of why she did what she did in front of the others. Kenpachi, plainly telling him he had no interest in weaklings who could not fight, noted he did not have any obligation to finish Ikkaku off. Minazuki is infinite and eternal recurrence. However, Unohana is one of the few shinigami that break this pattern, for her zampakuto’s power is circular, closed, constant, and complete. As for why Nozarashi could speak to Kenpachi even though Yachiru wasn't there; it could be any number of reasons. She used to be vicious. In order for those restrictions to be released, Unohana had to fight him in a death battle. Yes, that means he was holding back all this time, which also explains why he barely lost to Ichigo. Unohana is "killing" Kenpachi in order to help him break free from the shackles of his power. who knows? Zaraki, imo, hasn't significantly gotten more powerful since being trained by her and her 'sacrifice' just doesn't make any sense. Oetsu Nimaiya vs Kenpachi Lady Retsu ‘Yachiru’ Unohana. I think Kubo just couldn't be bothered thinking of their Bankai. Unohana was the Kenpachi before him. Every time he did something, kenpachi kept putting pressure, to the point were he couldn't concentrate on that many things at the same time, thats why he tried to match his power directly. Ikkaku, thinking he was toying with him, demanded Kenpachi kill him. Maybe his Zanpakutō Spirit split into two. The first ever Kenpachi goes up against the latest Kenpachi in order to find out who's more powerful. Even Shunsui believes that one of them will die! It possesses no beginning and no end. Page 1 ... Aizen had the foresight to make sure Unohana was in HM for the most part of his invasion. Last edited: ... Kenpachi - The title given to only the strongest shinigami. this is just one of the things that are only starting to make sense now since it looks like kubo is trying to tie up plot holes like how shikai ichigo beats kenpachi and then kenpachi rofl stomps tousen and komamura (2 ppl who would've slaughtered bankai ichigo at the time if they came at him together.) Bleach 523 shows us the most powerful captains against each other. Kenpachi, losing his patience, grabbed hold of Ikkaku and asked why he was screaming for death if he loved to fight so much. Unohana was the first Kenpachi (the strongest fighter). Discussion in 'Bleach' started by handsock, Dec 12, 2012. Which is consider the most Lawless and worst place to live their. Zaraki Kenpachi vs Yachiru "Kenpachi" Unohana! Now Ukitake's out of commission as well. Kenpachi Zaraki (更木 剣八, Zaraki Kenpachi) is a fictional character and an antihero in the anime and manga series Bleach created by Tite Kubo.He is the captain of the 11th Division within the Gotei 13.His lieutenant is Yachiru Kusajishi. Not much is known about Kenpachi Zaraki past.

Kenpachi's subconscious restriction on his power prevented him from hearing Nozarashi. After naming herself Kenpachi Unohana, Yachiru became even more brutal in her nature.
