Not bad at all. Perhaps an additional reason Yama kept Unohana out of the fighting was because he considers her the best choice to replace him; can't do that if she gets killed too. And I can sort of understand Isane's frustration; medics on the battlefield would be cannon fodder against this lot, but by the same token could have saved more people.

So, Shinji can do surgery? Does this point to some pre-TBtP time in 4th division?

So, even if Byakuya and Kenpachi make a recovery, they may have to step down, if the messenger's words can be taken at face value. Or am I misreading it?
