The point I was trying to make was this: there are families who continually produce talented Shinigami, so it's not impossible that there was more than one Unohana who became a Captain, or that they might have similar (or nearly the exact same) appearances. Or that some other Unohana might have made it into the Zero Division (which is where I assumed ALL of the "dead" Kenpachi ended up previously, since apparently at least Hiyori's Captain faked her death to cover up her promotion). And with the Gotei 13 as weak as it currently is, if that same Unohana were to temporarily descend in order to ensure everyone's survival, that would make sense to me. I just find it very hard to believe that Retsu Unohana could possibly be the same Yachiru that Zaraki admired (and that he either doesn't know or never mentions it even in passing), or that as much as Yachiru Kusajishi snoops around, that she wouldn't be aware of anyone else in Soul Society having the same name as her (and that she wouldn't take great pleasure in pointing this out to anyone in earshot). It's just a little much for me to take in all at once.
