This is a sad state of event's. Kubo has made a very bad situation here. He puts Shunsui in charge which is fine but his first major decision was having his most powerful captain and greatest healer and puts her in a death match with the captain who arguably have the most potential. The issue is this: Yamamoto is dead so the most powerful captain is already gone. The 8th division is vacant and now, Unohana the most powerful captain (after yamamoto) and greatest healer is now dead. Now from jump we were told the Gotei 13 is only at its most powerful when it has all its captains. Well its divisions are down 2. Is this a logical choice in a war against powerful enemies? No. Does it matter to do this to make Kenpachi's stronger, idk apparently kubo wants to place him against juhabach. Does all this matter really, so he learns his zanpakuto name but he doesnt have the years necessary to properly learn its skills and bankai and there is the issue of 1 he still lacks the skills common to a captain beyond swordsmanship. Far too steep a price to power-level one character.
