i mean maybe? unless Kubo directly stated that then that’s just speculation, unless i completely missed that part

@@Clover298 Not directly, but in the scene where it shows them meeting for the first time, he asks her where she came from and she replies by just reaching out and touching his Zanpakuto

@@ShadowmancerLord not to mention those two where absent during the arc where everyone got a release form. She was already there.

@@Clover298 she also disappears when Kenpachi can hear his Zanpakuto.

I agree with you. Otherwise, it would make no sense that she temporarily disappeared after kenpachi’s fight with gremmy, when kenpachi was going frantic looking for her. Then she “randomly” appeared to help him in activating his bankai. Yachiru has always’s been some version of a physical manifestation of Kenpachi’s Zanpakuto.

@YameteKudaClint imagine how powerful he'd be had he actually kill Unohana as a boy and never put shackles on himself from that point up until now.

@YameteKudaClint kuruyashiki and azashiro had more destructive bankai but ok

thats probably the reason why kenpachi bankai blade looks like its been chip off its probably un perfected yet due to you know bankais there hard to learn

@YameteKudaClint the fact that ichigo never defeated him and the time muramasa able to mess with them,the ones he wasnt able to make mess was only ichigo's and kenpachi's,their power is probably too much for muramasa to handle..

@@SuperCrysis92 he's like gokou, with his strength, willing to compromise just to be able to meet his match,even itching themselves to find those stronger than themselves..heheh

And Gerard skin is way tougher than steel

That panel was fucking brutal. Guy literally just yanked it off with his mouth like a berserker

It makes sense because his arm appears torn and not severed by a blade

How does anybody get that wrong? Its very clearly drawn kenpachi biting him.

His design is that of a Oni is he like ichigo.?

I don't think that's really a feat per say. Soul Society Ichigo couldn't handle the power from his Bankai, but he wasn't OP back then And in context it's not really a hype moment for Kenpachi either, as Yachiru raised his Reiatsu to fight Vollstandig Gerard and match his power, and his body couldn't handle it, but Toshiro and Byakuya both had the Reiatsu to fight Gerard and the bodies to handle it That aside, Kenpachi Toshiro and Byakuya are the top 3 Gotei Shinigami by the end and Kenny probably surpassed them in CFYOW

@@jocoolshow It's not a probability. Kenpachi surpassed both of them as well every other shinigami soon as he unlocked his true self after his fight with Unohana.

@@jocoolshow Kenpachi never train bankai like Ichigo before. His bankai is wayyyyyy stronger than Ichigo's first bankai

Man this was my outlook all along but apparently it's wrong. Everytime I try to get a confirmation (I k ow I could look it up) .point is everyone thrashes me for that opinion

There’s a weirdly vocal contingent that refuses to believe that Yachiru is Kenpachis sword. The wiki outright ignores it. I honestly have no idea why. There’s only two possible explanations to what happens to Yachiru. 1) She is Kenpachis sword or 2) She Abandons soul society and for some reason takes off her clothes and darts away. Only one of those two make sense

@@sepg5084 I get it bro honestly, nothing in manga is confirmed till it's confirmed. But I gotta say if there's one thing the mangaka left for his audience to decide ,it's that .

Idk if it’s canon but I know in the brave souls game he has duel swords like ichigo and it kinda goes along side with yachiru power of being able to cut anything

In novel he is capable of facing soul king candidates, the lvl ichigo, aizen was during tybw zaraki reached that level in novel.

@@md.tanvirhasananik3717 uh no. The only beings right now capable of contending with Zaraki are Ichigo and Aizen. Novel Kenpachi one shot Ikimidomue the strongest ever to exist Hollow with eye patch on, one arm with hikone absorbed along with soul king fragments. I don't think Aizen nor Ichigo is doing that. To say that he's on their lvl at the TYBW is an insult.

@@SuperCrysis92 I think they could I also like to point out the novels are a huge wankfest to Kenpachi including SAFWY which can be disregarded unless Kubo connects it to the manga which he has not. You can tell Narita is a huge kenpachi fan because even Kubo also being a fan wouldn’t write him like that, this scaling is all over the place for him. And kenpachi fans simply have no issue and often use it to debate all because “Kubo approved it” I don’t care what others say Kenpachi isn’t beating Ichibei just like he couldn’t beat Gerard. Who would constantly come back stronger, strength isn’t everything which is why the primordial hollow stayed in that state. It’s why Kenpachi was about to be killed by Pernida. He’s not even transcendent yet and don’t even try to say he is please…

Reminds me of Yammi

💙

True especially since he said he does not have a need for sanity

Is the hell arc out?

Which is still not released I need second chapter already . I need to see more about hell arc

I think the berserker aspect is just Kenpachi being overwhelmed by bloodlust. As he refines his technique he will regain control. But it will remain a form that savagely fights with all it has. For is that not what he was always heading towards?

IMHO Mayuri was the GOAT of the TYBW arc, he even roasted Yamamoto.

@@chavaspada let me ask u a simple question fr what was mayuri gonna do to Gerald

@@kingsushi1280 He could do plenty of stuff, and be way more effective than the dumbasses that kept making Gerard stronger.

Nah. He gotta learn to controll his massive ammounts of reiatsu like Aizen does. Current Kenpachi probably is legit Above Yamamoto levels

@@joaquincasascortes624 Kenpachi, Byakuya and Toshiro were (in my opinion) by far the strongest 3 Shinigami in the Gotei. Kenpachi was a monster ever since he was a child and Unohana helped in re-unlock and surpass that Byakuya was the model Shinigami, skilled in all of the traditional arts and mastery of his Zanpakuto. The peak of what a 'Normal' Shinigami should be, but he was lucky enough to meet Squad 0 and help him push passed what most could achieve and raise his ceiling. And Toshiro is a child prodigy. He was able to fight on the same level as or arguably on a level above Squad 0 Training Bankai Byakuya and Bankai Kenpachi without any special training. No special squad 0, no being brought to death and reviving, just his own training with his Zanpakuto and reaching that level I think by CFYOW Kenpachi is the strongest of them, but I still think they will be shown as relative if they fight in the Hell Arc

​@@jocoolshow That is very debatable. (This will be a long threat of comments due to how large it is, so I'll split it into 3. Don't mind me I'm just a casual Bleach enjoyer lol) If we dont take into consideration shinigami that arent no more part of the Gotei 13, such as Sosuke Aizen, Soya Azashiro, etc, or characters that work with the Gotei 13, but are outsiders that don't happen to be there all the time, such as Urahara Kisuke, Ichigo Kurosaki, Ichibei Hyosube, etc. And, of course, not taking dead characters into consideration, such as Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryusai, Yachiru Unohana, Jushiro Ukitake, Gin Ichimaru (HEAVILLY underrated), etc. I think that the main 3 strongest are: 1. Kenpachi Zaraki: No doubt the most dangerous force of the shinigami even BEFORE Yamamoto died. We can know this because: a) He was banned from learning any of the 4 main shinigami combat fighitng styles, meaning that he never learned Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hohou, nor Kidou due to fear of him being unstopable, even for Yamamoto. If Byakuya was a considerably powerfull captain for being escencially a master in these 4 fighting styles, who knows how powerfull Kenpachi would be? b) The main villains of the series made carefull plans to take out Kenpachi out of the ecuation. Aizen made sure he was out of the fight and stuck in Hueco Mundo, while Yhwach carefully selected some of his strongest sterrnritter to fight Kenny, such as Gremmy, who is probably part of the 5 or 8 strongest Quincy. c) Unohana confirmed his latent potential when she recalled her fighting Kenpachi a long time ago and Kenpachi, just as a kid, managed to almost win against a captain, and, out of all captains, the first Kenpachi. This means that, just like Aizen, Kenpachi was born stupidly strong and above pretty much all the other shinigami, the only difference is that Kenpachi decided to lock out part of his power unlike Aizen. There are many more reasons, but you probably get the point, since you ranked Kenny at the same spot.

@@jocoolshow 2. Mayuri. Mayuri is underrated because the opponent he fought against is no doubt one of the strongest Quincy we have ever seen. Pernida is an opponent that is mysterious in nature that could evolve throught the fight and was escencially unkillable. Every time he tried to do something, Pernida evolved and countered his attacks or gadgets. But you put a character such as Urahara and Kenpachi in his shoes, and 1. Kenpachi got low diffed by Pernida and 2. Urahara wouldn't have ANY intel at all to make plans to beat Pernida. Comparing Mayuri vs Pernida, besides the outcome, is like Jiraiya vs the six paths of Pain from Naruto. Jiraiya had to fought an opponent he knew nothing about other than "he had the rinnegan". Every time Jiraiya did an attack or tried something, he got countered by something new. Pernida is legit insaine and there were few characters that could have dealt with him. For this feat alone I think Mayuri is above most.

@@jocoolshow 3. Between Shunsui Kyoraku or Byakuya Kuchiki. This is a very hard one. Both captains are top tiers and have achieved incredible feats. Shunsui did fairly well against considerably powerfull characters such as Starkk and Lile Barro. And right now Shunsui probably has one of the most deadly sword abilities in his Kyoka Suigetsu. As seen in his fight with Starkk, he can make a large ammount of tecniques in his games. An opponent that doesnt follow his games legit dies. And his bankai is also very deadly. So he is worthy of being on the top 3 for me. But Byakuya is also worthy of the top 3 position. He trained in the soul palace and managed to perfect pretty much every fighting style in Bleach. His shikai is as powerfull as a bankai, his Bankai is the most versatile bankai out there, he is very good at kidou tecniques, he is one of the fastest, he is a master in kendo. He is an all around strong captain, so its hard for me to place him or Shunsui on this place.

Some Bankais be like that like that one huge rocket launcher bankai

He only held back and enjoyed fights because of his encounter with unohana originally. Since killing her he no longer has that want to make a battle go on longer than it needs to nor does he feel the need to hold back. Hence why he is now able to talk to nozarashi.

His true nature is just like his bankai form, mindless berserker looking for fights, just like the first time unohana met him

That's actually funny he exploded and died just from something like that

^Seconded. Kenpachi being OP and wild is awesome, but it's the fact that he has a compass, however messed up it might seem to someone who hasn't been where he has, that makes the 11th willing to follow him into hell with smiles on their faces.

Yep he is not evil, he has no interest in killing or torturing their opponents, only to fight them. Like Ichinose, Madarame or Tousen, once defeated he leaves them alone and asks to fight another day

@@zarathustra498 He even wanted to leave Noitra alive, but that idiot kept attacking him.

@@dustind4694 exactly

@@zarathustra498 agree zaraki isnt evil

Agreed for the most part except iirc, in the novel its stated that Nozarashi’s main drawback/ side effect in general is the fact that it damages your body the longer you use it, so I don’t think its something he can completely get rid of/ fully acclimate to, all he can do is try to mitigate or find work arounds when it comes to his abilities flaws, like Byakuya, Renji and Toshiro did, but much like their abilities, there will always be that risk when it comes to using it.

I think his arm burst because he swung using one hand. Too much power not enough of an outlet for it

Kenpachi doesn't get stronger the closer he gets to death. He was already that powerful, he just put up mental blocks to weaken himself to enjoy fighting. He just removed his mental blocks step by step when faced with a strong enemy. He defeated Kenpachi Unohana while he was just a small child.

Ichigo had trouble with his Bankai wearing out his body when it was newly awakened.

@@gammafrost I had no idea

Excellent point! Great analysis.

Not to mention it only took two days for renji to learn it

I’m absolutely sure if he refined his technique even aizen would have a problem

@@conchobharkhan4167 KS wouldn't work on Zaraki and at that point Aizen would have to have a plain sword fight and he's not winning that battle. Nozarashis attack potency is rediculous! Imagine continuously clashing with a sword that destroys reality (space time) and a meteor in just shikai with a single swing. One arm.

Ichigo and Aizen would destroy him. Both have superior stats, Aizen's hax worked on Soul King Yhwach. Gerard would beat him. Gerard did beat him. Granted, Kenpachi's body couldn't handle his Reiatsu and destroyed his arm, but Gerard's sword hit him hard enough to knock him out. But even if we assume Kenpachi would've been able to use all his power, he'd just make Gerard stronger. All of the Quincy Elites should beat him. Lille, Askin, Perninda, Uryu and Jugram all have hax that would shut down Kenpachi's options, though he might be able to one shot Uryu, Jugram and Askin so I'm not sure Ichibei might be able to, depending on if you think Almighty Yhwach without the Soul King is stronger than Gerard Toshiro and Byakuya should definitely be able to. Byakuya can stop attacks from even final form Gerard with Senbonzakura's defensive mode, so his offense mode should have comparable attack output. Especially Hakuteiken which takes all of his petals and compresses his attack power into one blade And Toshiro's hax could work even on Vollstandig Gerard that had Bankai Kenpachi's power absorbed through the Miracle. Toshiro also outdid this Gerard in strength and speed, and his power also isn't fully realized But him Toshiro and Byakuya are top 3 Gotei Shinigami for sure

@@SuperCrysis92 Kyoka worked on Soul King Yhwach with the Almighty, why would it not work on Kenpachi who's probably around Gerard's Vollstandig or final form of we highball Kenpachi? (Since Vollstandig Gerard's power requires Yachiru to raise Kenny up to match it and failed, I think it's fair to say a hypothetical full power Kenpachi would be around Gerard's Vollstandig or Final Form like Byakuya and Toshiro were)

@@jocoolshow I was gonna say. Q~Q Damn, you had to direspect my boy kenpachi like that. I mean, you are spitting facts but...QuQ I just love kenpachi. Glad to see he's still top 3 gotei shinigami

Maybe the Red Oni is Kenpachi Hallow.

Didn't he lose right away to Askin? I think it's pretty easy to understand why some of these characters wreck Ichigo. What would he have done against Gerard? Gremmy? Lille Baro (in his light based released state)? I actually like that Ichigo isn't the strongest character. He's just a bit of a skeleton key, not bogged down by any oath or duty besides the ones made to his loved ones-with willpower unmatched that carries him through any situation. All while realistically only being top 10 of the shinigami (at best) because he's still only a teenager and his power wasn't too well defined by the end. I think shonen's typical storytelling tactics has polluted our way of thinking about these things, and I'm kinda glad anime now a days in that genre have been consistently putting these ceilings that can't be crossed (i.e. Goku never surpassing angels).

@@Redhollow I mean there really is no winning against Gerard or Lille Baro to begin with. Gerard "lost" because his powers got turned off and Lille Baro "lost" because of as close as you can get to deus ex machina with a magic light god sucking sword.

@@Redhollow This is why Yhwach describes Ichigo the "Latent Potential" of the 5 war potential, but yeah, I like that he's not even the strongest in his verse.

@@if7723 Lille Barro's power can be defeated by a number of people. His weakness lies in its activation requirements, namely being forced to open his eye 3 times in a battle. Kaname Tousen's Bankai would hard counter him. Anyone else that killed him instantly, which Oetsu Numiya (Royal Guard), could do with his Sikafune. 💥Kenpachi 💥Yamamoto (East/North) 💥Soi Fon (2 hit kill) 💥Urahara (Stitch his eye closed) 💥Rukia (Absolute Zero) 💥Mayuri (Super Human Serum)

@@Redhollow against Askin he was taken off guard so it's not really a good example imo, but that's just how a lot of fights in Bleach are, it's not just about this character is stronger than this character so he wins, excluding the few overpowered characters, match ups, personality some circumstances, all play part of how fight ends. Getting back to Ichigo, I honestly think he could beat anyone 1vs1 minus Yhwach. Gerard is a tricky but I think end of the series Ichigo would win, because in the end no matter how hax your ability is, if you fight someone with overwhelming reiatsu you lose, so Ichigo might just negate Gerard's power.

Hehehehe 69

That part was extremely unfair to the 3 captains, and thus unsatisfied to read. To me the captains should have won after the combo and later Yhwach only absorbed Gerald's corpse for power.

@@blankenheim39 cry shinigami fanboy

@@randomduck8679 he's dead

This video already states he has the strongest bankai. And I'm going over what this guy who does his homework over anything you have to say.

@@SuperCrysis92 I think by physical stat boosts, he means how much stronger the bankai makes you, Kenpachi was already op, but Toshiro was not even a challenge for Gérard but them Mature Bankai Toshiro was putting in good work against Gérard. In my opinion, physical stat boost wise, Toshiro is above Kenpachi

Its strongest Bankai, because this was literally his first use of it, and likely weakest form of it. Remember Ichigos first Bankai? Or Renjis? Kenpachis first clumsy use of Bankai completely outperformed 99% every Bankai or other ability we have ever seen in the show. Bankais that has been mastered possibly hundreds of years.

On par
