Zaraki Kenpachi vs Retsu Unohana ~Bleach~

Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Retsu Unohana is a fight taking place during the Quincy Blood War between 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki and 4th Division Captain Retsu Unohana, shortly after the Wandenreich's retreat from the Seireitei, as a method of training the former in Zanjutsu. Shunsui Kyōraku announces that Kenpachi Zaraki will be taught Zanjutsu, shocking and angering the Central 46. In the Central 46 Compound assembly hall in the Seireitei, the Central 46 are aghast at Captain-Commander Shunsui Kyōraku announcing that he intends to teach Zanjutsu to 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki, prompting Shunsui to note that there is no guarantee of 6th Division Captain Byakuya Kuchiki and the others returning from the Soul King Palace, which is why they must hone Kenpachi as an important asset. 520Yachiru Unohana appears Shunsui decides to have Retsu Unohana battle Kenpachi. Though the panicking judges claim that Kenpachi could become too powerful to stop if he decides to revolt and remind Shunsui that they forced Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto to stop teaching him kendo after a single day when he first joined the Gotei 13, Shunsui wonders what they are supposed to do instead since Soul Society will not survive the next invasion in its current state and asks the Central 46 if any of them can protect themselves. After the Central 46 fall silent at this, Shunsui observes that this means he has been given permission and calls in the person he intends to have handle this, prompting 4th Division Captain Retsu Unohana to enter the hall while Shunsui identifies her as Yachiru Unohana, the First Kenpachi.[3] 523Unohana's true personality Unohana reveals a depraved grin as Kenpachi meets her in Muken. Later, in the Muken level of the Central Great Underground Prison in the Seireitei, an elevator reaches the bottom floor and opens to reveal Kenpachi, who walks forward with a grin and comments on how grandiose the stage is while admitting that he is surprised that Unohana was able to get permission to use it for their fight, prompting Unohana to note that it was Shunsui's orders as she stands with her back turned to him. Unohana observes that Muken is completely closed off and infinitely large, making it the only place suitable for Kenpachi to freely swing his sword, and asserts that this is the only reason why non-criminals like them were allowed to enter it. However, Kenpachi counters that the only thing the two of them would be is criminals were it not for their power, prompting Unohana to turn to face him with her hair down and a depraved grin. When Unohana states that she suggested this place because she felt Kenpachi would fit in perfectly as someone with no power, Kenpachi admits that he figured as much and declares he is fine with living as a captain or dying as a criminal here. With Kenpachi proclaiming that he will be going to hell from fighting her no matter what, Unohana observes that he is talkative today. Unohana vs. Kenpachi Kenpachi begins his clash with Unohana as the two of them grin with excitement. Unohana muses that she prefers it when he is quiet because the sound of his voice always makes the single scar he gave her between her collarbones begin to ache, and in turn, Kenpachi points out that she is not the only one with an aching scar before the two of them rush toward each other with their Zanpakutō drawn. Meanwhile, in his office far above, Shunsui recalls Yachiru Unohana as part of the original and strongest generation of Gotei 13 captains who created the Eleventh Division and defined what it is known as today. Following his noting that Unohana was the most infamous criminal in Soul Society's history prior to her recruitment by Yamamoto and gave herself a name meaning "Eight Thousand Styles" to reflect her mastery of countless swordsmanship styles, Shunsui apologizes for calling this a Zanjutsu lesson and admits either Unohana or Kenpachi will have to die once they cross blades, which he already knew, while Kenpachi and Unohana clash fiercely. Battle Ep375KenpachiKicksUnohana Kenpachi kicks Unohana in the arm when she steps on his Zanpakutō to attack him. A bloodied Kenpachi comes down on Unohana with a powerful slash, only for her to push his sword arm aside and cut through the side of his neck. Momentarily fazed by this, Kenpachi quickly recovers and attacks Unohana once more, and when she steps on the guard of his Zanpakutō to evade this and perform a slash of her own, Kenpachi spins around and kicks her in the side of her sword arm, sending Unohana flying back to land on the side of a pillar before springing off of it to clash with Kenpachi once more, creating a shockwave of force that radiates outward from them while Unohana commends Kenpachi for having his eyepatch removed from the start.
