In no time, Zaraki defeated Gremmy, and the fans witnessed the beast’s powers growing even further when he maneuvered his Shikai for the first time in the series. Kenny’s return was a major event in Bleach: TYBW; however, as soon as the battle came to an end, fans and Kenny noticed that Yachiru had disappeared. Her whereabouts are unknown, and the only things left of her are her badge and her clothes. Although Yachiru is a wanderer, and sometimes it’s hard to find her, this time, Kenny looked a bit worried about her, like he knew something was wrong. Soon, he ordered his subordinates to look for her, but the question is, will they ever find Yachiru again, and what happened to her?
Will Kenpachi Ever Find Yachiru Again?
Kenpachi and Yachiru had been inseparable for a long time. From the first time they met, when Yachiru was just a toddler and Kenpachi was young, the latter took Yachiru with her, and since then, they have been together. Throughout the journey of Bleach, we have seen some really amazing moments from Kenpachi Zaraki, including his unforgettable battles, and in all those moments, Yachiru was always seen with him. However, this time, things are different.
Although Kenpachi deployed all his subordinates to find Yachiru, the truth be told, they would never be able to find her, and even Kenny wouldn’t be able to hear her sweet voice ever again, except for one last time later in the series. That electrifying moment happened when Kenny clashed with Gerard Valkyrie. Fueled by determination, Kenpachi cast aside his eyepatch and charged headlong at Gerard with Nozarashi fully unleashed. But Gerard possessed an astonishing power that allowed him to swat Kenpachi away like a mere nuisance.
As Kenpachi lay momentarily defeated, Yachiiru materialized right before his eyes, seemingly out of thin air. Kenpachi couldn’t believe his senses and questioned her sudden appearance. In response, she revealed an unexpected purpose - to gift him the missing puzzle piece, the key to his ultimate strength: the power of his Bankai.And guess what? Kenpachi successfully harnessed this newfound power, forever altering the course of his journey.As the curtain closed on this extraordinary moment, Yachiru Kusajishi vanished for good, leaving an air of mystery forever in the story of Bleach.
What Happened To Yachiru Kasajishi?
For a long time, countless theories have been going around Yachiru and what happened to her. The fans making their own theories results from an unclear answer regarding Yachiru’s fate in the manga. Very few folks know that Tite Kubo, the genius behind Bleach, dropped a tantalizing hint about Yachiru’s fate. Is she gone for good? No, that’s not it. Is she alive and well? Not exactly. So, what’s the real scoop on her?
Answering one of the fans' questions, Tite Kubu revealed that Yachiru is a part of Kenpachi’s Zanpkuto, Nozarashi, and she got separated from the main Zanpakuto after receiving a name from Kepnpachi in the past.Since then, she has taken the form of a Soul Reaper and remained with Kenpachi as his Lieutenant.Yachiru is a human manifestation of Kenpachi’s Bankai; however, in the true nature of Nozarashi’s Bankai, Yachiru takes the form of a grown-up woman, and that’s the reason why Kenny wasn’t able to recognize her voice back when he fought a battle with Unohana. Finally, when Kenpachi attains his Bankai while fighting Gerard Valkyrie, that’s the last time we see Yachiru as she completely merges with Nozarashi once and for all.
