Retsu Unohana was incredibly strong within the Soul Society, but even that wasn’t enough to protect her when she battled Kenpachi. In the anime version of the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, Unohana understands that Kenpachi needs to become even more powerful to defeat Yhwach and his army. Their fight reveals Kenpachi’s past and the surprising history of his name – Unohana actually held the title before him, eventually passing it on. She sacrifices her life to help Kenpachi grow stronger, seemingly unlocking his Bankai – a powerful ability Bleach fans haven’t seen him use in the anime yet. To honor her memory, Viz Media released a special tribute video for Retsu Unohana.
