reread the fight unohana vs kenpachi ch 524-526; at the end it feels like she just gives up and lets kenpachi impale her, and then doesn't heal herself anymore. thats why i thought the fight wasnt over. my mistake.
renji was secretly training to get his bankai and surpass byakuya.
ikkaku has bankai around the same time as renji, and trains to surpass kenpachi.
ichigo cheated with urahara's do-or-die bankai technique (in three days), but also trained to surpass byakuya
rukia just recently properly learns her shikai as well as bankai with some secret training. her motivation is brotherly recognition.
i think we can pretend that since rukia is of royal bloodline, shes more chance to bankai compared to the others, who desire the strength to defeat their respective rivals. the others trained for much longer than her (except maybe ichigo who cheated).
