@Soul reaper: From the time of his introduction in the series, he's had bandages, but he always had them to hide the MS he stole from Shisui. Whether he bandages for all the time before that is unknown, since such displays of bandages before Shisui's death are always shown in anime filler arc's, therefore they're not canon. :/
