This does makes sense, but I don't think Unohana had any sort of healing capabilities from the beginning. Kirinji talked about the techniques he taught to Unohana, so, it would make more sense if Unohana didn't have a healing type Zanpakuto back at that time.Quote:

Why do you you think she is sane enough to heal him after they started fighting. Doesn't really make sense to me, would be far to similar to Ichigo, and lame at that.
I have a feeling Unohana knows how to change her Zan type i mean lets face it she can change her persona at the drop of hat, would make sense that her Zan changes with her persona especially if the Zan is based on the users personality
because she is to teach him the art of killing. how can he learn if he is dead.Quote:

The whole point of this is for Unohana to teach Zaraki how to properly fight. Kubo can insert whatever dramatic text he wants to, but we all know he isn't going to kill either one of them especially when you factor in the most recent events. Also since when did Unonaha become a blood thirty murderer? That is what she might have once been before Yama got her to join up with him. If she is still SS's greatest criminal she sure as hell wouldn't be outside of a jail cell a la Aizen let alone be kept around as a Captain. The point of all of this is the fact that Unohana has learned to balance her past life with her current life. Meaning that she can "turn it on and off" as she clearly just demonstrated to us all. Shes going to kick the shit out of Zaraki, heal him, and do it all over again until he learns what she wants him to learn.Quote:

"Another thing which also gets significantly weirder is the fact that at some point ichigo's and aizen's zampakuto were seemingly fusing with them at the height of their power. What is the meaning of that?"
I didn't see any member of the Royal Guard carrying around their zanpakuto either? Where were their zanpakuto when they showed up at SS?
Anyway, I agree about Unohana's zanpakuto can change its physical forms or abilities; this reminds me about how Nelliel "healed" the wounded Ichigo.
Since Ichigo's "soul memories," for a lack of better term, have expressed Quincy properties.. does that mean his Zanpakuto will do so in turn? Seems like an interesting concept.
Does there need to be a word spoke about her being able to turn it off? She clearly did it once before. I mean when did this become like Ichigo and his Hollow, where if his Hollow takes over he can't stop it on his own. Nothing suggests that she is the female version of Zaraki or Ichigo's Hollow and isn't going to stop fighting until she kills someone or until she is knocked out. Her one and only job is to train Zaraki, not to beat him or to do anything else. Obviously that isn't going to happen overnight. Its going to be a process that probably lasts all the way until the war with the Vandenreich resumes. Its clearly pointed out that Zaraki is like a baby when compared to Unonaha and her fighting ability. So Unohana just beating the shit out of him isn't going to accomplish anything if she doesn't teach him things in the process and allows him to show her what hes learned. Well he can't do any of that if hes half dead or if Unohana is going psycho on him and not teaching him.Quote:

Let's get back to the most basic way of learning things:
Learning by Doing: Experience -> Share -> Process -> Generalize -> Apply
Just reread the Tousen fight to see that he's capable of coming up with a strategy by himself, that he's capable of thinking rational and apply the knowledge to his advantage within a single fight. Obviously she's far above Tousen, but so have to be everyones power levels for the current arc.
And if they do pause, than it would be great to see them having a Criminal Tea Party with Aizen, giving him a sip. XD
He needs more than a strategy now. Actually, I don't really find a match to death or something along the lines meaningful as a training move. I don't think this is going to be a real battle, either. As you said, there should be lots of pauses and some occasional talk about what they are doing.
Poor Aizen, he must be bored there on his own :worrybunny
Suits him right for tricking me into thinking he was a good guy. The Douche http://www.smileydesign.net/smileys/imotion17.gifQuote:

One of them looked as though it was crying, unless that's just the design of it.Quote:

Ok, Rukia gets her Asauchi.... after several years after putting untold amounts of her soul and reitsu into it.... it becomes attuned to her and takes on what we know is her current Zanpaktou.
Along comes Ichigo, she gives him her sword which he plunges into his own chest and appears with Zangetsu.
The question for me is what happened to Rukia's? Did ichigo materialize his own Zanpaktou in that instant or did his reistu overwrite and wipe out Rukia's influence on that Asauchi?
If the answer is the latter... did Rukia have to go and grab another Asauchi and start again forming another bond with a new sword? sounds like that would be pretty damaging to her soul/bond with her Zanpaktou :(
