What annoys me the most is that not only Unohana's bankai has the same name as her shikai... It had no effects whatsoever either. It's like Kubo forgot about it and put it into the battle in the last second, "just so the readers ain't pissed off that she died without going bankai"

To me it seems like Kubo was afraid he overhyped her so much that she was simply too strong so he just decided to get rid of her this way. And that's exactly why she sat on her ass during the Quincy invasion. And that's exactly why that "There cannot be two Kenpachi so I'll just kick the bucket even if I'm the best healer out there and characters in this series have survived much worse injuries" (I'm looking at you, Byakuya and Hiyori) shit was pulled.

So yeah, it's not surprised so many of us, the readers, are disappointed. All that's left is to ruin Urahara and Kyoraku and there will not be a single screwed up character in this series.
