He names himself after the most extreme district of the Rukongai, but was he born here? Did he have parents in Soul Society, or was he the spirit of a dead child?
It's rather common in shounen narratives to hype certain characters up, especially those who are deemed to be traditionally and stereotypically "manly.
More strangely, Genryuusai Yamamoto, the Captain-Commander, is hesitant to continue teaching Kenpachi the art of kendo because of the possibility that he might massacre everyone in Seireitei. The wielder of the omnipotent Ryuujin Jakka exhibiting any kind of fear or anxiety is simply ridiculous. Speaking of kendo, Kenpachi reveals to Nnoitra that he hates using this style because of its annoying outcome: putting an immediate end to any fight. The 5th Espada mocks him for not realizing that a weapon's attacking power is considerably more when swung with both hands, and arrogantly rushes towards him.
Kenpachi merely lifts his zanpakuto above his head, bringing it down with such force that Nnoitra is nearly bifurcated. The fact that the Espada, who had recently defeated Ichigo and survived Nelliel's incandescent Cero Doble, is killed so easily does not compute. In the final two arcs, Kenpachi's hair resembles a wild horse's mane, all matted and wiry.
In the beginning, though, he is depicted with a perfectly polished hairdo — 11 spikes signifying his Squad number , each of which bears a single bell. In addition, his eyepatch is extended to form a choker band around his throat.
Kenpachi supposedly takes hours designing his hair into that specific pattern , which doesn't quite fit his overwhelmingly wild personality, does it? Unohana "teaches" Kenpachi how to unlock the many self-imposed limitations on his spiritual pressure, doing so by "killing him and bringing him back to life again. Further, Unohana's bankai produces some variety of liquid that looks like it melts the flesh clean off both their bones, although this could just be a side-effect of Kenpachi's imagination.
As mentioned earlier, Yachiru is none other than Nozarashi in human form, making her the only Zanpakuto spirit to become a Soul Society Vice-Captain. She rarely fights, but in her battle against Gremmy Thoumeaux's artificially created Sternritter, Guenael Lee, she brings Sanpo Kenjuu "out to play.
He might not have been. Halloween Fanatic The Zealot of Samhain. The only thing clear is this: Azashiro is the real Kenpachi. Zaraki, the bitch, never earned it and will never be the Kenpachi until he kills Azashiro or kills the one who kills Azashiro etc.
Mist Puppet Well-Known Member. When did they say that the word "Kenpachi" meant the strongest of the Shinigami? That wouldn't have made sense at all, even when it was first introduced. Halloween Fanatic said:. Mist Puppet said:. Torpedo Titz Well-Known Member. Pretty sure the novel Either way this isn't some glorified fanfic. Grimm6jack said:. It was stated by Zaraki himself before he joined the Gotei13 in his and Yachirus flashback.
Yak on a Forums Break. Wasn't it stated somewhere that the title went to the one who has fought the most battles and killed the most enemies? Or was that just an anime filler line? Wait, let me look that up EDIT: There you go. Unless that is a misstranslation. Early Bleach scans were a bit Also, I don't know if you just 'earn' the title by slaying the acting Kenpachi, regardless of whether or not you have surpassed his 'body count'.
Either way, I guess the Zaraki Kenpachi has earned his title one way or another, given his bloodthirsty attitude. And the previous ones before him, probably, too. I doubt Zaraki killed the most enemies, since we've guys like Yamamoto who are over years old. Why is it said that it's given to the best Shinigami in SS if the known Zaraki are clearly not the best?
Edward Newgate said:. Well this is all very interesting and I would like to make my contribution. Kisabuna said:. No, the title of "Kenpachi" goes to the strongest swordsman in Soul Society, not the strongest Shinigami. The strongest Shinigami becomes Captain Commander. DoubleX31 Satellite Cannon. Yak said:. If everything but straight up hand to hand combat were excluded, Zaraki would likely be superior to the majority of Captains, largely due to his ridiculous endurance.
The 11th division pride themselves at being "combat specialists", which I interpret to mean strictly hand to hand, since I recall Ikkaku expressing disdain at Iba having learned Kido, and of course there's the matter of Yumichika wishing to hide his Kido based Shikai from the rest of the division.
So at most, the title "Kenpachi" should mean "strongest hand to hand combatant", although I would of course place Shinigami such as Aizen or Yamamoto significantly above him even in this category. As it stands, I would personally rank him as the least impressive Captain overall.
