When read this week's Bleach chapter, I was confused at first. Is the "art of killing" shikai and bankai (like will Unohana teach Kenpachi how to activate his?) Or is it something new we haven't seen before? Or is it even a metaphor of just perfect Kenpachi's skills and nothing more into it than that (like vague, overall training, not a specific technique)? Ok, thanks :D

The art of killing is Kendo.

Kendo is basically just sword fighting. If your recall the fight against Nnoritora his last attack was using proper Kendo.

Unohana is an expert in Kendo and so she will teach her younger Kenpachi how to use Kendo.

So far Kenpachi has never really learnt to kill, so to speak. Him and Unohana are completely opposite as Kenpachi's.

Zaraki loves to draw out fights, but dislikes killing, and i reckon Unohana didn't like drawing out fights, but loved to kill, and loved to rack up the corpse count during battle. Would be interesting to see her kill:heal ratio over the course of the series

I'm not sure about shikai or bankai but Unohana will definitely change his mentality when it comes to fighting, as well as boosting his kendo power. I wouldn't mind seeing a shikai and bankai from him to be honest, but if he starts learning demon arts then i think they'll be changing his character too drastically

A lot of guesses here I'm impressed my guess is this though remember back when juha was talking with Yama saying back a when we first met you were more ruthless and bloody and how the originals were all power hungry take no prisoners type. I believe it has to do with this. I will post the link to the page so you understand what I am referring to.

Currently Kenpachi has been going for Fun and Pure excitement while fighting hes opponents.


If he where to be convinced by Unohana to go for the "kill" and "murder" hes enemies then it would be a different story and Kenpachi might truly be "considered" Strongest Shinigami inside Soul Society.


If Kenpachi becomes a master swordsman like the former CC.


Then Kenpachi could become a truly dangerous beast on the fighting grounds.

And who knows , might even surpass the former CC.


But knowing Kenpachi this would not be an easy task for Unohana , since for Kenpachi fighting for fun is all that he wants from this world and nothing more.

The Only reason Kenpachi followed former CC orders was because , the former CC was a platform for him to meet strong foes on all realms.

If Unohana will change Kenpachis heart by some means then it would be possible for him to change.


Maybe Unohana is the only Shinigami capable of this.

Since She was the first Kenpachi.

Opinions?

People need to realize something. Kenpachi has no SKILLS. He just swing his sword wildly around and anything he does know is self taught. Hell, it toke him a single day of training to learn that 'two hands swinging a sword' makes it stronger. That alone increased his killing power by a lot.

If he is actually taught proper techniques, even the simple basics, he will be freaking insane. His bankai is five tiers up.
