I really hope this is not the end of Unohana. Reasons: 1. She is the Soul Society's #1 healer. 2. There have been many times throughout Bleach where people have been impaled/run through with a sword and survived. Examples include Ukitake when he was impaled by Wonderweiss, and Yamamoto when he was impaled on Aizen's sword.
