[Spoilers] Ch.524: Zaraki's Shikai & Unohana's Sin (Chapter Explanation)

[kotoamatsukami]

Your theory doesn't mean anything. You say I don't get it, but clearly you're confusing yourself. Zaraki's instinct does not cause him to oversee his zanpakuto's abilities. He never knew what they were in the first place. I may have quoted something 400 chapters ago, but everything written in a chapter is proof. It's not made up ****, and as long as it's not disproved, it still stands. Also just so you know, the writer is human. Don't you know people generalize things with "he" all the time? Something as small as that could have also been a mistake. Not saying you're wrong, but just because the writer had Zaraki call his zanpakuto a "he" doesn't mean squat and does not really help with your theory/argument because there is more proof of Zaraki not knowing anything.

A zanpakuto cannot act on its own. If that was true, shinigami would have been protected from fatal attacks so many times. Think of all the times Senbonzakura could have protected Byakuya. You also can't use Kyoraku's shikai as an example, because each of his shikai's abilities besides Bushōgoma, are games. Obviously he can't control them. I'm sure zanpakuto want to protect their wielder, but not in the way that they can act by themselves. Rather, they want to communicate with their respective owners and "lend" them power and grow stronger. Also, Ichigo's zanpakuto is always in shikai. And so? You don't see it protecting Ichigo by itself which it could have in so many situations.

You tell me to present proof that isn't outdated, but the evidence still stands. Whereas you have nothing going for you at all.:|

zaraki has been with his sword for a long time an Mabey it's just deciding to protect him at times because it does not want him to die but it can't give zaraki it's full power because he does not kno it's name..it's different for byakuya he knos his sword name an how to control it there for it sees no reason to act on its own..an when ichigo was near death when fighting zaraki I believe zangetsu acted on it own an saved ichigo life right?

This is a chapter explanation. All the factual evidence is in this chapter. It's just ambiguous. Talking to u has gotten tedious so I'm gonna try to simplify what I'm saying as much as possible. So the quote "Zaraki's reliance on his instinct causes him to oversee his Zanpakutou's abilities. " I said this because in THIS WEEK'S CHAPTER, Zaraki saw that he got stabbed by Unohana, but he ignores it and says "I must rely on my instinct, there is no time to think" He doesn't know what happened and he doesn't try to figure it out. Instead he says he must relies on his instinct to win. Since we see Zaraki's blood is still on Unohana's face, I thought it might be his Zanpakutou's ability which he is not aware of. However Zaraki doesn't look into it, he relies on instinct so he is UNINTENTIONALLY overlooking what could possibly be his Zanpakutou's abilities. That's what I think Unohana is saying at the end of the chapter.

Listen buddy, I KNOW he doesn't know his Zanpakutou's ability, but you can't say they have no connection cause he has tried communicating before as stated during his fight with Nnoitra. So you're little fact is no longer relevant There's an obvious reason as to why Zaraki's Zanpakutou would want to protect him, because Zaraki is his wielder and his survival is dependant on Zaraki's survival. It's already in a constant release so it doesn't require a command to activate. You are forgetting that Zanpakutous are separate entities and since Zaraki doesn't have much connection to his, there's even more reason for it to act on its own. Why are you mentioning Senbonzakura? That is beyond irrelevant. Sebonzakura is thousands upon thousands of sakura petal shaped blades that Byakuya can command. That's it's ability. Zaraki's Zanpakutou's theoretical ability is to heal/reverse a fatal wound and increase strength. So in a life or death situation what Zanpakutou ability is more capable of saving its wielder. Obviously Zaraki's and we see it happen in this chapter. Sebonzakura has a few flaws and drawbacks. First of all, it's slower than Shunpo and Bringer Light and it can't enter a specific radius without wounding Byakuya. Also there is already an established connection between the two and Byakuya has total command over it. And Kyoraku's shikai is an example of a Zanpakutou acting on its own. It only grants Kyoraku certain abilities under certain circumstances. What if Zaraki's Zanpakutou's circumstance is to recover from a fatal blow? How is Zangetsu suppose to protect Ichigo? The only ability Zangetsu possesses so far is Getsuga Tensho? Tell me how does that help Ichigo recover from a fatal wound? It doesn't, but theoretically in Zaraki's case, it would. Not to mention AGAIN it's in full time release and Zaraki's has no control over it, so it is very possible.

Good theory, this was one of the possibilities i have thought about after reading the chapter. But i brushed it aside because i couldn't link Unohana's sin with it from mangapanda's translation.
