Amid all the expectations, fans can anticipate Tite Kubo making key changes to the story, or perhaps revealing Ichigo’s final form—whether it will be a triumph or a disappointment remains to be seen.
Given Kubo’s incredible manga panels, some fans are still left shocked or confused when those moments are brought to life, such as Captain Unohana’s Bankai fromTYBW Part 1.
Everyone knew Captain Unohana as Retsu Unohana for many years, Squad 4’s kindly commander andBleach’smost powerful medic.
A surprising truth about Unohana was revealed inTYBW: Yachiru Unohana was actually one of the original captains of the Gotei 13 and one of the most ruthless Shinigami in history.
Shortly after Yamamoto’s death, Captain-Commander Kyoraku requested her to teach Kenpachi. Unohana lethally trained her greatest opponent to unlock his true power— but at the cost of her life.
Kenpachi mourned her death, but Unohana passed away peacefully. Still, it’s undeniable that her Bankai remains one of the most thrilling moments in the anime. Many fans were initially puzzled by the adaptation of Unohana’s Bankai, with some even mistaking the blood element for acid in the manga—a revelation that left many shocked.
It will be fascinating to see if Tite Kubo plans to challenge more myths with Ichigo’s final form; if it comes to fruition, it will be truly epic.
