there fourth division of Bleach's Gotei 13 has always been dedicated to those Shinigami who are skilled in the medical arts. Among the zanpakutō with healing powers and other magical abilities, these particular death gods excel in these qualities. They are led by Captain Unohana Retsu, a seemingly shy and quiet woman.
The woman has been on the sidelines for most of Bleach's storyline and hardly ever showed up in combat. Yet Tite Kubo in the manga decided to give her space at a crucial moment, a moment that is now being occupied by the anime Bleach: Thousand Years of Blood War. In the new episodes, it has been revealed that Unohana is not what she seems. In reality, Unohana Retsu doesn't even exist, as Zaraki Kenpachi found out.
In the deadly fight he was involved in, Zaraki discovers this Unohana was the first kenpachiformerly known as Unohana Yachiru. Indeed, in the past, whoever is currently the fourth division commander was actually the eleventh division commander of the original Gotei 13, the one founded by Genryusai Yamamoto thousands of years earlier. A secret that has shocked everyone, as the medical arts the Shinigami are endowed with are clearly at odds with their skills with the sword.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War manages to deepen the character with a few scenes that make her really terrifying and bloodthirsty. Zaraki then has to face one Challenge that turns out to be much more difficult than you might think at first. And to prove the commander's skills, here is a really scary Unohana Retsu cosplay.
