Talk:Retsu Unohana

Unohana's Bankai's Special Ability
I see it is still listed as unknown but I thought it was made clear that the liquid substance from her Bankai caused the victims skin and body to disolve/melt/erode away. The reason Kenpachi kept regaining his skin is because she was healing him, mentioning she would "kill" him over and over again and then heal him. Let me know what you all think, and if one of you would be mind filling in the details of it on her page. Reeves92 (talk) 07:29, February 26, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thats not something anyone came up with, while its a seemingly interesting and possible situation. The issue there is healing doesnt work that fast, healing kido is a considerable time consuming process and in that particular situation it was the last point of their altercation. Thus it didnt seem to work the way your pointing out. The whole situation was a little inconsistent and empty on the explanation department even by visual analysis so thats why we really didn't have a logical explanation. It was safer to put nothing then speculate with something we werent sure of. --

is Unohana listed as deceased or Unknown for now
so Unahana listed as deceased for now or i heard some people say she was listed as unknown for now and i didn't see anything of her being listed as deceased on her info page--Prince of zahard (talk) 19:21, March 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * She is listed as deceased, nowhere is it said among staff her being unknown on here.--

Bankai's liquid
I've been wondering about this for a while, but is it safe to say that the liquid that forms her bankai is blood? Since it is red and thick, and does have the appearance to the blood we see so much being splashed throughout the battlefield. Yatanogarasu (talk) 02:17, June 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not so sure it is. I mean, you're correct in that it does RESEMBLE blood a lot, but for all we know it could be a thick, viscous, dark-colored acid of some sort, since there was that whole page of melting skin and stuff. I apologize for beating a dead horse reason-wise, but I don't think we can confirm what it is until we learn what, exactly, her Bankai does.--Xilinoc (talk) 02:32, June 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * I guess so. Just thought I brought this to light and sort it all out. Yatanogarasu (talk) 03:18, June 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not a problem at all, the whole situation is just really confusing to everyone.--Xilinoc (talk) 05:18, June 4, 2014 (UTC)

8000 sword schools?
In the Swordsmanship piece it speaks of her knowing all 8,000 of the world's schools of swordsmanship. However, the reference to where it points, the (fan based) translation I use, speaks of her knowing all sword schools, and calling herself Yachiru.

While 'Yachi' (八千) indeed can mean 8000, it also means many/much/... (for example, 八千草 yachikusa means a variaty of herbs (opposite to it's literal meaning of 8000 herbs) and 八千代 yachiyo means eternity (opposite to its literal meaning of 8000 generations).

If there is no other confirmation she can do 8000 styles, wouldn't it be much more realistic that the non-literal meaning is intended? As in, she knows "all of the world's schools", not "all 8,000 of the world's schools" Qube0 (talk) 13:47, August 1, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hm. Looking back at Cnet128's translation at the chapter, Shunsui indeed mentions that she is a master of "countless" sword styles. Which agrees with one of the possible translations of "Yachiru" that our own Translation Corner provided. Mohrpheus   (Talk)  19:45, August 1, 2014 (UTC)
