  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 มิ.ย. 2022
  • Kenpachi finally achieved bankai in BLEACH chapter 669. This unexpected transformation left us all jaw dropped due to the raw power that Kenpachi demonstrates in this form, he was easily able to overpower the gigantic Gerard Valkyrie as he transforms into a mindless berserker. In this video I will explain what led up to Kenpachi’s bankai transformation, as well as discussing its future potential for growth, and why the bankai form of Nozarashi is not to be taken lightly.

      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.

    I think the most interesting aspect of Kenpachi's bankai is how he got it. Everyone else has to basically force their zanpakuto into submission in order to attain bankai, meanwhile the mindless brute most known for saying "swords are just tools" is actually the one with the deepest and most intimate connection with his zanpakuto spirit, and the way Yachiru says "what everyone else calls bankai" implies that Kenpachi got a more complete or better version of it. Though I'm sure if you asked Kenpachi what he would choose he would 100% absolutely pick having his closest friend back in material form over shikai/bankai.

      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

    *Theory:* Kenpachi retrieved his Zanpakuto from a dead body, so it was already a partially formed Asauchi. This is why his Zanpakuto was able to manifest in its Bankai Form, yet also use a unique Shikai, posing as his Lieutenant, as it was subjugating the partially formed Asauchi and modifying it, allowing it to use that strength, instead of its own.
    From the beginning, Yachiru appeared from nowhere, stroking Kenpachi's sword. Both had no names, yet they bonded throughout the years, far surpassing the bond that Renji achieved with his Zanpakuto. However, a name is important in Bleach, they hold immeasurable power, so their bond was only one of understanding and spirituality, not one of power.
    Yachiru understood the paradox that Kenpachi was in. He loved to fight, but his opponents were too weak, so he weakened himself. Any increase in power would be a curse, not a boon, and would only cause him to become weaker, to compensate.
    Only after he kills Unohana, is this paradox resolved, as he no longer has weak opponents. However, that doesn't negate the many years of atrophy that his body has undergone, from under usage, so his body still isn't prepared to use his FULL strength, which is his Bankai, where he holds absolutely nothing back, using everything he has with each strike made.
    *Bankai:* I believe that his mindless bloodlust, is to remove ALL possible mental constraints, making him use only instinct, to have him fight at 100% at all times. Once his atrophied body becomes used to his unrestrained power, he won't damage himself anymore.

      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.

    If I'm not mistaken theres a bit more to that then "I released too much of your power" pretty sure it's also implied his body needs time to acclimate more or less this is Kaio-Ken x100 and because he hasn't trained using it he is just abusing himself as much as his enemies. However we know that Kenpachi is directly the "Saiyan" style of power where the closer to death he is the stronger he gets.

      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.

      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

      ​@@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.

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.

  • @JohnGlow2
    @JohnGlow2 2 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    One thing I find kinda ironic about Kenpachi’s bankai is that it kinda goes against his personal desires. Kenpachi is always the guy who enjoys the fight for the thrill of the fight, to the point where he has had to hold back just to fully enjoy it. His bankai releases all of his true power, but reduces him to a mindless berserker and robs him of the ability to express joy and the enjoyment of the thrill of combat, in addition to damaging his body the longer he uses it.
    Its like the biggest drawback to him personally, insane power but the inability to truly enjoy it, that’s the sacrifice his zanpakuto requires. As such, I feel like it’s probably going to be something he ends up not even liking to use, kinda like kendo/ how some other shinigami ( Soifon and Shuhei) arent really fond of their abilities despite the usefulness.

    This could be a guess way off base; if it's given that Yachiru is supposed to be part of Kenny's Zanpakuto then the constant bad directions and miscommunication could be symbolic. He can't speak to his sword's spirit for the majority of the series, and even if it somehow manifested Yachiru to interact with him, that barrier of not understanding each other should exist.

    Without a doubt Kenpachi has the most devastatin bankai of all. I truly believe that once he develops full control of that Oni/Demon form of his, he will be able to put the edge of his weapon thru any and all forms of creation, even down to a subatomic level. The man was already cuttin thru space in his shikai state, I see no reason he couldnt sever atomic particles in his fully tamed bankai state.
    Yes, OG Yamamoto probly has the most destructive aoe bankai (I mean he's practically a walkin Sun) and yes, Ichibei has crazy hax and can control all black but Zaraki possesses an unmatched level of stamina, durability, strength, and explosive raw power that I think when mastered, could topple them all.

    It's kenpachi in it's purest , i think controlling the beast Would dull it's lust it's ruthlessness ,would be disappointing

    The guy's the ABSOLUTE PINNACLE of raw n pure physical strength, reiryoku ,combat instinct and prowess, and that all too without anywhere close to even being aware of his Bankai, much less mastering or even training on it, and one of the only 3 characters in the series so far to have 'transcendent' level Reiatsu. Yamamoto himself forbidding him to master proper Kenjutsu in fear of him becoming powerful beyond reason so that no one can control him once he goes rogue. His casual attacks defying common sense and logic, totally ignoring science, cutting apart air, cutting apart voids in space time continuum, cutting apart the strongest shield even without physically touching it. His raw, non-fully realized, unnamed, un-acknowledged , and un-aware Bankai is of such magnitude that himself being THE absolute monster in physical stats, and still him not being able to contain his own latent and peerless potential. A Bankai so horrifyingly invincible, its mere power output at the moment of activation rended and deformed his sword so badly...
    A reality warper, who can just about imagine anything and any results effortlessly, when he tried to copy Kenpachi's power his imaginations couldn't take the strain and tore the warper apart inside out.
    I am a Kenpachi fan, and still will be. I will agree with the fact that there are individuals out there in the verse,and scenarios and situations where with even all that unparalleled qualities of Ken-chan's, that he can't overcome, at least not on his own. And that there are far more useful and more vast abilities and characters who outclass brute strength easily, and cud clown on Zaraki.

    A lot of people say that Zaraki obtaining both Shikai and Bankai in such quick succession is a complete ass-pull, but is it really *that* unthinkable in-universe?
    He's gotten to know his Zanpakuto on a personal level through Yachiru as he grew up, both before and throughout his time as a member of the Gotei 13, and they have a great deal of mutual trust and understanding for eachother.
    His experience was probably different from like 99.999+% of Shinigami who have ever existed who succeeded to awaken their Zanpakuto's true power, but he spent every waking hour with Yachiru close by for decades, no doubt talking to her about everything from mundane everyday things to battle philosophy during their time together, and she was technically externalised the entire time.
    When he could finally hear his sword, and Yachiru rejoined with Nozarashi, the foundation for unlocking Bankai had already been laid.
    Just imagine the ludicrous level of destructive potential he'll wield once he can handle its full power, considering what he managed with just a fraction and with no experience using it.

    With a muscle head like that finding the limits of his own body's ability to handle his power the only logical thing to do (if you're a muscle head) is to constantly swing a close as possible to full potential. This leads to some potential character growth where Ken may decide to either save some strength for more drawn out battles (which isn't muscle headed enough for him) or put his every effort into killing his opponent as fast and efficiently as possible (the opposite of what he's been doing)

    Can you cover the strongest characters introduced in the TYBW? Apparently there’s several characters that Ichigo would lose too in a hypothetical 1v1 and that’s just hard to understand for me considering he’s the MC.

      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 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.

    When it comes to physical stat boosts, I think Kenpachi's Bankai is the 3rd strongest. #1 would definitely be Ichigo, don't even need to explain that. #2 would be Toshiro. Think about the power difference between Shikai Toshiro and Mature Bankai Toshiro, who's able to cut Gerard's sword in two with a casual one handed swing and outsped Gerard at every turn. Keep in mind that this version of Gerard had a Miracle Buff from Bankai Kenpachi stacked ontop of going Vollstandig

    I've just always liked his character for the simple fact he was a captain despite not meeting the conditions needed.
    Also his "Rage" Bankai in its base state ( Ichigo had a very similar thing when he first unlocked bonkai), it's amazing. In time (maybe some of the special training ways seen) he learns it better and masters it to the other captain's levels. Then I think even Ichigo would have a hard time beating that.

    I watched another video that explained, after years of trying to speak to kenpachi his Zompakto (nozerashi) broke off a small party of its sole and gave it physical form.
    This small fragment had no name (like kenpachi at the time). This small child like sole crawled up to his sword and touched in and giggled at the blood that was transferred to her hand, and he named her Yachiro.
    This was an explanation that came from an interview with Kubo himself. I like it and it makes a LOT of since the more you think about it. The whole idea linds itself to a certain kind of symmetry in a way.
    Ps. Supposedly there in more evidence for this in the manga. Like after he activates his bonki you never see Yachiro again and Kenpachi says she's gone/not coming back? But idk.

    Just Zaraki, (And more importantly), Just pure title of "kenpachi" put in true form.
    Makes me wonder if any hacks would even work on it? Since it's been proven that any bankai ability can be overcome if you just have enough raw reiastu or 'power'.
    So...could this kenpachi (If he mastered it and toughed up his body) truly be unstoppable in a 1v1? Would anything but brute force truly work on him? This is just a powerful form that I haven't felt such an impact since Old man yamamoto used his bankai.

      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
