Throwback #72 - Hearing of your End (The Fall of the 1st Kenpachi)

Although Isane isn't a pivotal character in Bleach, she is best known as the lieutenant of then-Captain Yachiru Unohana (or Retsu Unohana). Unbeknown to her, Yachiru Unohana, Isane's Captain, is revealed to be the very first Kenpachi. Seen as gentle, nurturing, and intimidating, Retsu Unohana never once unveiled her true colors until she fought against 11th division Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki. So when the duel between the two Kenpachi(s) took place, both Isane and Yachiru were informed that one will stand and the other will fall. This brings tears to Isane because she looked up to her Captain as a model. Retsu was a powerful Captain, but her friends & enemies feared her for what she is capable of doing to them. I feel legimately bad for Isane because this leaves a whole in her heart ~ who'll she look up to now? Was her joining of the 4th division the same as Momo Hinamori's joining of the 5th division ~ admiration & awe of their former Captain figures? Regardless of what tempted her to join the 4th division, I'm sorry for what has happened to Isane. Now she has to take up the mantle of responsibility, but in her perspective ~ It'll be hard to bounce back up after this defeat. I will give Isane credit for one important thing (which is irrelevant to this), but Isane has nice BEEWBZ! Just putting it out there.

I hope you enjoyed this week's Throwback. Look forward to Throwbacks on Fridays. Until then, you all stay classy now and I'll see you all next Tuesday on Back-to-Back Affinity posts.
