It has only occured to me that even after rooftop fight, Fukuzawa and Mori are pretty much still stay "secret" co-workers. Honestly who is doing it like them! Partners-but-not-quite to enemies to antagonistic coworkers with History pipeline! Fukumori are the best divorce husbands, to me.
My thoughts are is that everyone knew Unohana was at some point Yachiru Unohana. It wasn’t a secret, even to those outside of Soul Society. No one was going to forget Unohana was a criminal at some point, even it was in the deep past.
Personally, the first time I thought Unohana was a badass was how Unohana found out Aizen had faked his death. Aizen could’ve engaged Unohana in battle, but didn’t, either because he knew he couldn’t beat her, or win so narrowly that it would complicate things.
Mayuri is terrified of her, despite being MAYURI. In Heuco Mundo, the leader of Exequias upon simply hearing Unohana’s name, pragmatically decides to not engage her in a fight. All the Eleventh division quail at her name.
So my question would be: what was the reaction of Seireitei when Zaraki shows up and there’s Yachiru Kusajishi with him? What was Unohana’s? Yachiru is an ugly name (at least in the opinion of my old Japanese flatmates, they say it’s like calling a kid Hagatha or Bleedith), so it wouldn’t have been coincidence.
The gossip mill would have spun fast and wild, and guarantee you, most people would have asked the question: did they…? Is that Unohana’s kid?
Can you imagine Unohana, smiling lightly, simply saying, “We did some poking around when we first met.” And when Zaraki is confronted with the question, he grins and says, “Yeah, we fucked around and found out.” Which does not clarify the situation at all.
