Bringing back dead characters whose body was intact when we last saw them, is one thing, especially when their status is uncertain. But it would be ridiculous to bring back someone like Yamamoto, whose body was completely incinerated.

I too would like to see more of Rose and Kensei, and their Bankais, but that could easily be solved by Mayuri finding a way to reverse the zombiefication. The question is how good Kubo could make that scenario.

I kinda feel like Kubo messed up their deaths with the zombiefication. I would have preferred that they survived Gremmy's imagination after his focus was shifted by Zaraki, their injuries being more or less healed by Isane, and they went on to fight. Even if they weren't meant to survive in the end, they could go out in an epic fight with the Elite Sternritters.
