Some Captains seem to be better off dead.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Warning: Spoilers for Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, Episode #23Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has seen a number of Soul Reaper Captains defeated by their Quincy Sternritter adversaries, but some of these fallen captains seem to be better off now than they were before.
Kensei and Rose are two of the former Visored, who returned to being captains in the Soul Society after the Arrancar arc concluded. They were shown to be fighting Mask de Masculine earlier in Thousand-Year Blood War, but both captains were ultimately defeated by the wrestler-themed Quincy. Something similar happened with Toshiro Hitsugaya, who was defeated by Bazz-B in a particularly brutal manner and left to die.
Bleach's Soul Reaper Captains Fight Better As Zombies The zombified Hitsugaya immediately proved himself a tremendous threat, and actually would have succeeded at killing Mayuri Kurotsuchi had it not been for the latter's use of a special drug that caused him to enter a time loop.
When Mayuri deploys the zombie Kensei and Rose against the Sternritter PePe, the two are positively vicious, with Kensei whipping out his Bankai to wail on the Quincy. This was actually a change made in the anime, as in the manga Kensei doesn't use his Bankai to defeat PePe, but rather his bare fists. While Byakuya is rather disgusted at the state they're in, there's no arguing it: their performance in battle is just plain better as zombies than it was when they were alive.
Kensei, Rose, Rangiku and Hitsugaya were all explicitly turned into zombies prior to their deaths, as with Giselle's power, this makes them better zombies. That does mean that it should be possible for these Soul Reapers to be restored to proper life, although the question of how exactly to do that remains up in the air. It may take time and research from Mayuri to figure out how to do so, so these four may have no choice but to remain as zombies for the time being.
