I was never impressed by Unohana's 180 from her long established healer character into a bloodthirsty warrior just to kill her off in the next chapter. 'Pointless' describes what happened to Unohana very well.

Kenpachi already had a reason to get stronger. Its been a long ignored plotline since his defeat by Ichigo. Give him a chapter where he learns the sword's name and gains shikai and it makes sense. More so then dropping Unohana into the mix did.
