Biography:
Unohana Retsu’s first appearance is in the emergency meeting of the Taicho gathered sa pamamagitan ng Yamamoto Genryuusai Shigekuni. However she says nothing at this time, and the susunod time she is seen is at the time of Aizen Sousuke’s death, when she confirms with Komamura Sajin and Tousen Kaname that Aizen is dead.

After that, Yamada Hanatarou is “caught” sa pamamagitan ng Ukitake Jyuushirou and brought before Unohana for judgment. Despite the reasons put forth sa pamamagitan ng Ukitake, she determines that Hanatarou must be imprisoned on account of the fact that he is a seated officer in her division and the harm that the ryoka has supposedly done.

As head of the medical relief division, Unohana’s healing prowess is legendary and this is shown when she susunod makes a major appearance, that of the time when Abarai Renji challenges Kuchiki Byakuya and is defeated sa pamamagitan ng the latter’s Ban Kai. She manages to save Abarai from certain death, delaying her arrival at the Soukyoku Stand for Kuchiki Rukia’s execution.

Kotetsu Isane, her Fuku-Taicho, expresses the regret that Yamamoto lied to Rukia regarding the release of the ryoka, and it is at this moment that Unohana arrives and tells Isane that despite the harshness of such a lie, if it allows Rukia to leave peacefully then it is for the better good.

After the chaos of Kurosaki Ichigo arriving at the scene, destroying the Soukyoku Stand and starting his battle with Kuchiki Byakuya, the respective Taicho then head off to their own battles. Unohana then releases Minazuki, even though it is not shown how, and saves all those hurt during the fighting, keeping Isane with her on tuktok of Minazuki while allowing Minazuki to heal the rest inside of her (Minazuki). Arriving at the Relief Station, Unohana asks Minazuki to release everyone, seals Minazuki back, and asks the division members to keep the injured personnel for a time inside the station. She then asks Isane to follow her to Center 46.

They arrive at the scene in time to see Aizen defeating Hitsugaya Toushirou. After that, Unohana makes her presence known sa pamamagitan ng saying, “Captain Aizen. No. You no longer have the right to be called Captain. The traitorous criminal, Aizen Sousuke.”

Aizen then ang sumagot “Domo,” (which is a pun, because domo can mean hello and thank you) and asks if Unohana guessed if he was there easily.

Citing the reason that the Offices of Center 46 was the only place he could hide at and the elaborate corpse doll, Aizen then points that she made two mistakes in her analysis. The first was that he was not here to hide, and the segundo was immediately shown as he does releases Kyoukasuigetsu in front of Unohana and displays the “corpse doll”.

He then proceeds to tell Unohana of his Zanpakutou ability, Complete Hypnosis, and of the fact that there was a third member of the clique, Tousen. He and Ichimaru alak then teleport to Soukyoku Hill.

Unohana immediately requests Isane to find out his exact location. Upon successful location, Unohana then asks Isane to inform everyone of Aizen’s betrayal, including the ryoka, while she takes steps to save Hitsugaya and Hinamori Momo, the latter of which Aizen had fatally stabbed earlier, before Hitsugaya had made his appearance.

After ensuring that both would escape death at the moment, she leaves them in the care of Isane and travels via Minazuki to the Soukyoku Stand, where she tells Yasochika Iemura, the sanseki of her division, that the ryoka do not require help (upon her observation). She then settles down beside Kuchiki Byakuya and gently reproves him, saying that he has pushed himself too hard. She then calls Rukia closer upon Byakuya’s request, and thus is Byakuya’s reason for coldness revealed.

After that, Unohana stops two 11th Squad members from creating a ruckus at the 4th Division’s Relief Station, and also tries to get Hitsugaya to talk to Hinamori, who is unconscious. He, however, gives the reply that “the way I am now, I have nothing to say to her.”

Character
The motherly character of Soul Society, Unohana has a gentle and warm personality that augments her appearance. Her healing powers cannot be denied and she also has a great sense of duty, in both the times that she orders Hanatarou’s imprisonment and Isane’s chasing of Abarai when he runs away with Rukia. With her grace and kind manners, she lets others know quietly that while she may be soft, she is not to be taken lightly. None has ever disputed this fact, for she is an indispensable part of Soul Society and the Gotei 13 Squads.
