However, his death in the Thousand-Year Blood War left some big shoes to fill.
Here is everything you need to know about who will lead the Soul Reapers into a better future.
Who Will Become The New Captain Commander?
Shunsui Kyoraku is most likely to take the place of the Head-Captain following Yamamoto’s death considering he is the second strongest Captain of the Bleach series.
Moreover, the manga series revealed that Kyoraku will become the Head-Captain of the Gotei 13 by having all the votes in his favor.
Kenpachi Zaraki follows Kyoraku in the list of the strongest captains in the series. Besides that, he will become the strongest captain after learning the greatest weapon of the Captains and Shinigami i.e. the Bankai.
Retsu Unohana is the most likely to come after Kenpachi. In addition, she is one of the founders of the Gotei 13. Moreover, the buzz is going around that she was also the first Kenpachi as well as the first-ever Captain of squad 11.

Meanwhile, Yamamoto unleashed the true power of his Bankai from the beginning to show his anger for the Quincy King. He also used the unique four abilities of his Bankai to take down Ywach.
But later it was revealed that Yamamoto was fighting one of the followers of Ywach all this time rather than the Quincy King himself.
