Kraus posted:Anyone arguing that he doesn't have a bankai on the basis of him having to say the release command, remember that we know Shunsui has a bankai and that we've seen him give the release command for his sword. I don't think anyone was saying that Kenpachi has no Bankai, just that he hasn't used it.

Kenpachi probably doesn't have bankai and this will probably be his last major fight and all of you will be upset about it.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Is it just me or is the sword... Upside down? Can someone photoshop it and turn it around so the blunt bit at the end is the guard and the curved bit is at the end? I mean it makes sense for Ken's to be weird, but it seems to me that would make it look more like a sword than an axe/smashy thing. Yeah that part is confusing the gently caress out of me, too. What is that blunt bit at the end? Why is it there? What is it even FOR? What does it add to the sword functionality-wise? Because it looks to me like it'd just get in the way of the blade's cutting ability any time you try to make an edge-down vertical slash. Like putting a wedge of plastic over the tip of a kitchen knife.

Sprite141 posted:We've never seen him use his bankai. So that was his shikai you saw against starrk. Not my point. Everyone knows that was his shikai. I am responding to the people in the thread saying "Kenpachi can't have a bankai because he had to say the release command for his zanpakuto." And what I am pointing out is that you can still say your release command for shikai if you want to, even if you have bankai. Shusui's said it, Byakuya's said it, Yamamoto said it, etc.

I will say I kind of liked Ikkaku's bankai better in terms of sheer implausibility. THREE! ALL OF THEM ROUGHLY THE SIZE OF A PRIVATE JET! And he could spin them and poo poo! Still in the running for most death metal bankai.

Syrant posted:As someone said, it's likely just top-heavy like an executioner's axe. Yup. There's such a thing as balance when it comes to sword or cutting instruments. Although it is largely ignored in series such as this, the weight at the end increases the cutting force due to the pull of gravity and inertia.

Too bad we will never see Ikkaku's bankai again. He used it once in a fight, ever, broke it, and that was that.

Saitama's meteor punch was more destructive. Unfortunately, it did trash most of the city.

"Swallow, Nozarashi. Just the tip. Er, uh, bankai." As for the cap on the sword an unlikely but I think is cool explanation would be that he only agreed to call upon it if it was nerfed somehow so as to not make it TOO easy of a battle.

Really kind of an interesting power once we learned more about it. The double-edged sword of Godlike power. Gremmy could imagine anything, even something disadvantageous to himself, and it would instantly happen. He literally just imagined himself big and strong enough to physically crush Kenpachi and he forgot to make his bones and muscles out of iron or some poo poo and his frail body just tore apart trying to build the mass. loving metal as hell and this way Kenpachi got a last fight against the technically strongest person ever and won, so he can sit out the rest of the series and look like a badass. And how hosed is Ichigo when Ywach gets this power back?

Well at least the fight's over now. Hopefully the next Quincy will be more exciting. So is there just no explanation as to how Kenpachi survived getting spaced? And for that matter how he was able to move? That's pretty bullshit.

He imagined Kenpachi to be so strong that he'd survive anything, so Kenpachi did. Personally, I think Kenpachi was disappointed just because other than slashing the meteor, Gremmy did all the work for him.

I actually think that was kinda boring. I was hoping for something more fighty and hands-on from Kenpachi. Hopefully he'll get to fight someone else before this is all said and done.

I think his ability is literally "cut anything" including abstract concepts and the spacetime continuum that's pretty metal
