Unohana goes from being the most bloodthirsty, sadistic warrior in the Soul
Society to being a kind, motherly person who goes out of her way to heal and
help others, even enemies, and who tries to avoid and prevent fights. Is this
all an act?

I understand she was waiting around for Zaraki, but she could have done that
without becoming the equivalent of Mother Teresa. Did she really have a change
of heart about others, and if so, why?

Is Unohana's compassion for others just an act?


Unohana was the `First Kenpachi` several members of the 11th Division fear
her, and so do a few of her fellow captains, according to the former captains
of the 5th and 7th Divisions.

No captain wants to get on her 'Bad Side' as -

And there's no information to be found about wether or not she's faking her
compassion, however I was able to find -

The quotes above would indicate that, somehow she has had a change of heart
after joining the Gotei 13 & founding the 11th Division, but somehow still
shows her more `menacing` side.
