Blaze Uchiha, please don't make 4 separate consecutive posts, merge it all into one, especially if two of them say the same thing. Second, Yamamoto is not dead, but he can't activate his Bankai since his zanpakuto has been sealed. Even if WW is dead, Aizen said that the seal was permanent "never to be released again" (another stupid move from Kubo if you ask me). And I'm not repeating my story on Grimmjow, he might or might not be dead, but there's little he can add onto the plot at this point. Read previous posts please.

I already said why it's not likely that Ken-chan will learn his zanpakuto's name now, there are a lot of surprises awaiting and it would be absurd to waste them all at this closing point, that would leave nothing for the future. I think Kubo is saving Ken-chan's zanpakuto for the upcoming arcs, just like everyone's Bankai.
