I really don't care about Unohana's death. Aside from assisting allies in the past as a medic, she hardly affected the plot in any significant way, aside from helping Kenpachi by DYING. She was pretty much a blank slate up to her fight with Kenpachi, and I'm getting the feeling that Kubo was trying to give her some last-minute characterization so that the reader wouldn't be so indifferent to a dead character that they otherwise would have known nothing about.
