Kubo is now stealing our ideas.
Welp, it's momentary, but the Hype Train is here, all aboard~
I knew it, freaking knew it ever since that first fight with ichigo.
KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I just wanna bask for a minnute in the childish boasting of being one of those who predicted this <.<
There were many other signals too.Byak's statement about Zaraki's shikai being in permanent release never existing to begin with might be a hint at Yachiru. Tbh I believe she is just the manifestation of Nozarashi. If you think about how they first met and that Zaraki himself gave her a name, which thus wasn't her true name, and she disappeared when he released his shikai.
Now ken will bankai and one shot gerard. No one will know how it happened amidst the clusterfuck because Ken just said he hates it when people blab about their powers.
I hate that I'm excited for next week.

Well shit.....WELL FUCKING SHIT!!
Next week lets go!
As is everyone else, I'm so looking forward to see how Yachiru gets utilized. Also, what that means exactly from now on going forward. So cool to have what seems to be your strongest ability be an actual Shinigami companion.
Yo dawg. I heard you like shikais so I put a shikai in your bankai so your bankai can shikai while you bankai.
I think my mind is still fucked from reading that chapter. I'm stoked as all hell, and also a tiny bit let down Kubo went the obvious route.
But i guess it makes sense; Ken always tells Yachiru to stay out of his fights, so he would never get a chance to use his zanpakuto's powers.
Also, Ken is officially the person to learn bankai the quickesti, holy shit. He's had shikai maybe half a day.
Except the pair of creatures Yachiru manifests is not a shikai. She has no call to release the blade. The blade does not transform. Her power does not increase.
Witnessing this flummoxed Isane.
When Yachiru showed up may have been the best moment I've seen in a long time. Didn't even have to read anything she said and immediately knew what she was. So good. Zaraki continues being the best character.
Kenpachi bankai.
Kenpachi bankai.
Kenpachi bankai.
Kenpachi bankai.
I don't remember the chapter exactly, but did Ken ever say bankai when he was fighting imagination nation?
Nah if you go a few chapters back she definitely had a release for that shikai and it even had a name.
I don't care for the logics of it all. Kubo may or may not explain it, but at very least you're right with Isane. Kubo planted the seed with it being unique through her. Didn't the zanpaktou filler strongly hinted at Yachiru too? I wanna say there was an episode where one of the zanpaktou spirits reacted weirdly to her, but to lazy to find out lol.
