That's the biggest question for me, and the one thing I really can't wait to see. Just thinking about it drives me crazy.

I say wonderful job on the Former Head Captain and Yachiru Unohana-sama! I wish Unohana wasn't dead, the Shinigami needs their best female medic/ Psycho massacring woman right about now!
Unitake seems alittle flat to me and if you would have angled Head Captain Kyoraku opposite of Unohana, he may have more depth.
I do like this pic, don't get me wrong, just trying to give some constructive critcism and I'm talking too much.

I completely agree! Unfortunately, I didn't see it until after I had finished the pic, but yeah, I think it would've benefitted from me pairing Kyoraku in front of Yama and Ukitake in front of Unohana. It'd make a better contrast: dark in front of light and vice versa. But oh well.

Besides, the relics are bad asses with Unitake needing to prove himself a little bit more.

I'm sure his time will come, once he gets cured.

Hope so...Mayuri must have a full plate, his little experiment, curing Unitake, and managing his squad when need be.

He can handle it, though it would help if he built himself a set of mechanical arms like Shutara.

Shutara's arms are interesting and it would make you would if she built them for more than just helping her increase her weaving rate since she must have been the shinigami who created the simple yet effective uniforms.

Oh yeah! That makes a lot of sense. I wonder what it was she invented that got her in the Royal Guard in the first place?

Personally until I see someone actually announce that Unohana is gone and the fact that we haven't seen any mention of her supposed passing during all those scenes in the SS that were set after her battle with Zaraki, I'm not going to count her as dead just yet...but thats just me.

Well, she did kinda get stabbed in the throat. Don't get me wrong, I'd be happier than most to find out Unohana's alive, but I don't think it's gonna happen. Nobody accept for probably Kyoraku, Kusajishi, and Isane probably knew about Kenpachi's training, so no one probably knows that she'd dead yet. And besides, it's only been a couple days or so since she died in the Bleach Universe, if that.

From what it looked like, Unohana was stabbed in nearly the same spot that she was all those years ago when she frist fought Zaraki. While this wound may have been more severe then that time (As it went all the way through her and its unknown if the last one did the same), I could see that if she could survive the first time, then she could perhaps survive this one as well (especially since we have seen character survive much worse wounds then that, especially after the earlier incident with Byakuya).
And when Sasakbie died, not only did everyone get informed about his death the same day (when the kid in Ichigo's rooms was informed, it sounded like it just happened) but it looked like his funeral happened the same day as well. I doubt Shunsui would just let Zaraki and her sit down there all this time, so I would bet that he would at least have someone be prepared to go down there the moment the battle was over.Β Even if it was just a couple of days, I would think that the Captains would have been informed of her passing if it did happen and thus would have had a reaction to it, which we have not seen in the slightest. I don't really seem the point of just hiding her death would serve anyway, if they thought she was alive, then they would simply wait for her return but if she was dead, then they would at least have to find a temporary replacement for her.
Honestly, the fact that we haven't heard a thing about her and the fact that we haven't seen Zaraki yet (who would be arguably the most affected by this at the moment) may be Kubo preparing to reveal her being alive and ready for battle once again, especially with the seireitei being in such a dangerous state at the moment. But still, thats just what I think for the moment.

Zaraki is the only one who actually knows that she's dead, and would be able to send out word. He's not going to do that, however, because he's miles below the Seireitei and has much more important stuff to worry about: namely, his zanpakuto training. No one else has been informed because the only person who could inform them is a crazy man who's finally learning his swords' secrets after hundreds of years. Not even Kyoraku can assume she'd dead; for all he knows they're still locked in battle. And they're never quick to find replacements for captains. It took them months to replace the gaps left by Aizen, Gin, and Tosen.
Β
I think that we haven't heard from her or Zaraki because Kubo wants Zaraki's new powers to be revealed in battle, not through training, and he's probably still going through his training.

I honestly doubt that Shunsui would have just left those two down there to fight without someone watching them. They were fighting in the same level of the prison that Aizen is also in, there could easily be montering devices around that level that could be watching the battle just in case. Also, it would be foolish move to not have anyone watching them just in case. I mean, what if Zaraki was gravely injured at the same time he defeated Unohana? If no one was watching just in case, then both of these two could die in the end of their fight.
And I was more or less referring to the healing portion of the division instead of the actual Captain seat itself. The other Captain positions didn't have a insanely important job that we know of, but Unohana is the leader of the healing division during a massive war that killed over a thousand shinigami in one attack. While the actual Captain's seat is less important, the fact that they need someone to run the healing divisions operations would make it quite foolish if they were just waiting on their leader to return instead of simply assigning someone to take over for the moment.
With the massive chaos going on in the SS, I doubt this simply being done so Zaraki can train (and I doubt he needs to really train, but instead to communicate with his sword, which could done in battle and be used to bring both him and Zaraki and Unohana back into the war.

Zarakiβs training IS communication with his sword, which would be quite difficult to do in the middle of a battle. Donβt you remember what Ichigo went through with Zangetsu? Itβs all very internal, and trying to do that shit while avoiding being killed by an army of bloodthirsty Quincy would be next to impossible. Kenpachi trains so that he can master his sword so that he can massacre these Quincy.
π: 0 β©: 1
Just sitting down with his sword doesn't seem like a affective way to go through all of this though. This is Zaraki, the man who would much rather dive into battle then have a plesent conversation with someone. How someone communicates with his sword could be different depending on the person, and even Zaraki's situation makes it quite harder to determine how he would communicate with his sword. He may prefer to talk to his sword while in the middle of combat instead of simply sitting down and talking to it.
Also, using Ichigo as a example isn't that good...all the factors that Ichigo has with his Zanpakuto (hollow, FGT, Quincy) makes it quite hard to compare to the other shinigami, even Zaraki.
π: 0 β©: 1
Every sword has a spirit, and when shinigami come in contact with these spirits, they communicate on an internal level. The spirit of the sword doesn't pop out in the middle of battle and wander around with the shinigami like an imaginary friend. Killing mass amounts of troops doesn't result in the sword revealing the names of its abilities. You've got to sit and talk with it.
Β
And while Ichi is very special, back when he went through his sword training I'm fairly certain that Kubo hadn't thought out all of this Quincy/Yhwach is Zangetsu business. It was all very normal. And Urahara knowing what was necessary to communicate with a zanpakuto during Ichigo's training should tell us that all of that stuff is pretty standard.

Shunsui has no need to monitor the fight, because he knows exactly what will happen. Unohana IS the monitor; she was in charge of assuring that Zaraki return to his full power so that he can prove a more effective tool in the battle against the Vandenreich. This was her assignment, and she was therefore in charge of making sure he lives. She deliberately would not have drawn the battle to a stalemate because that would mean she failed to achieve her objective. There is no need for Shunsui to worry about Zaraki because he knows Zaraki to be in the very capable hands of Unohana.
Β
The most obvious choice for a replacement as the head of the healers would be the vice captain of the 4th division, Isane, who had already been informed about the nature of Unohana's battle with Zaraki, and her inevitable death. The seat has already been filled.
π: 0 β©: 1
Not monitoring a fight because he 'knows' exactly what will happen doesn't mean that you shouldn't make sure that it actually does happens. Shunsui isn't like Aizen where he could just have everything happen as he plans it. Just because Unohana was intending on bringing Zaraki back to prime condition doesn't mean that he wouldn't have needed any medical treatment himself after the battle was over, especially since he was spending the entire time getting killed over and over again before being patched back together. Its better then to be safe then sorry in these types of situations. I'm not saying that Shunsui would have had someone monitoring the fight because he knew something bad could have happened, but because he at least humored the idea that something could have happened.
Can Isane truly replace Unohana though? Isane has shown to be a very emotional person and doesn't seem to be able to keep her cool in situations where she really needs to (compare to how she and Unohana acted when Yamamoto died, Unohana kept her cool despite the pain she felt and Isane broke down. Isane may be able to replace her in the future, but being the head of a entire medical force dosen't seem like something Isane could do at the moment.
Still, this conversation is going in circles, so lets just agree to disagree okay?
π: 0 β©: 1
You continue to try and convince me that the possibility of Kenpachi remaining hurt after the scuffle with Unohana was high enough for the Captain Commander to take precaution, and yet the series has already proven that such an outcome did not occur. Kenpachi was not injured, in the end, and Unohana died like she and Kyoraku had planned. Unohana was not going to let Kenpachi be injured in the end. SHE is the monitor, the precaution. She's one of the most capable people in the series when it comes to hurting and healing, and Kyoraku knew this, and that he could trust her to keep Kenny alive and return his full power, then die, allowing Kenpachi's zanpakuto to contact him for the first time. Which is exactly what actually happened.
Β
Isane's at the top of the list, regardless of whether or not she's as capable as Unohana (of course she's not). There are no better options.

I agree, and after all, weaker (No ofeence to them) characters have survived pretty godawful injuries and come back just fine... I mean look at Ichigo, Ukitake, Kenpachi, Hitsugaya etc... and their injuries, but they came back fine afterwards.
π: 0 β©: 1
But then again I could just be in denial that she's dead TT-TT
