AND while fighting with one hand. No one could defeat Kenpachi in the Seireitei... maybe Yama-jii or Kuchiki-sama could force him to use 2 hands / remove eyepatch but that's all
He only cares if it means you're stronger. I think it just shows a man with no fear doesn't care about outward appearances. Says that anyone that scares just from their appearance is a weakling.
I don't understand why Komamura's next line is that Kenpachi is too focused on appearances. He literally just said appearances aren't important. I think Komamura might be an idiot.
Add that they confirmed in TYBW that the bastard is holding back even without the eyepatch because the last time he went all out he almost killed Unohana. . .as a fucking kid
Kenpachi stands for strongest shinigami. Hes not for nothing the wild card of seretei. Old man yama didn't stop training kenpachi after a day because he was to weak, he would of been able to destroy old man yama and soul society if the training kept on going. This is something so many people do not realize or forget and put zaraki below so many shinigami while in fact, the title is for a reason.
@@xivaKenpachi Actually this title means nothing in bleach. Nobody named "Kenpachi" was the strongest shinigami at the time. Through 1000+ years of "kenpachi" existence there was still Yamamoto and Ichibei, who both were stronger than all gotei 13, let alone one kenpachi.
Yeah, that line was a complete lie on his part since he hated Soul society. He probably didn’t like Zaraki though considering he kills for fun, a lot of people dislike Zaraki lol.
Aizen THE G.O.D that’s true, I got that wrong. Zaraki ends up killing people sometimes since they’re too weak to survive his attacks, but he rarely finishes anyone off. What he enjoys is fighting, not killing. Tosen said he followed Aizen because he wanted a path with the least bloodshed. As someone who fights for fun, I believe Tosen definitely would’ve still disliked Zaraki.
It's so edgy but in the GOOD way and not the cringe way. It has that futuristic, roughshod feeling that represents the violence but also the abstract, dreamlike quality that Bleach possesses.
@Milos9 I especially think that earlier bleach looks dreamlike with it's bright soul society colours that look almost too high contrast/saturated, as well as the lower resolution and the wishy-washy lines. Obvs later the quality of animation went up and the lines got sharper, colours deeper etc.
he was actually brought up later in the manga that as much as he likes fighting he very rarely actually kills anyone. If he kills them they can't fight anymore so he will usually let them go so they can come at him later stronger than before.
He was blood thirsty, but only for combat. Not killing. When he killed that Fullbringer in one blow he was so disappointed. That’s exactly why he always suppressed his powers.
@@pforgottonsoulI think that’s what makes him interesting and likeable. He’s not a psychopath that kills for pleasure. He fights for pleasure, the fact that his opponents sometimes die is not only not the purpose, but he sees it more as a bothersome disappointing side effect. “Pain and death are just the price we have to pay to enjoy fighting”. Absoulte madlad.
The skill to dodge an attack the moment it makes contact with your flesh is insane. That takes more than strength and willpower. That's some Ultra Instinct levels of reaction.
I'll always love Bleach for it being my introduction into anime. Back in 2007/2008 I was 17/18 years old. Soul Society arc just floored me. Every fight had me flapping my arms around so so excited. Now I'm god damn 30 years old and still into anime.
Most people would disagree with you on that fact broly is a wayy better character than Zaraki obviously yall didn't understand the Broly movie or your love for bleach has blinded you.
well kenpachi cant die too,he ll be reincarnated by his tremendous spirit pressure until his enemy is evaporated same with cheater ichigo and his hollow bankai xD
One of my favorite lines from the fight with Komamura is how they show Kenpaichi being so open minded instead of just crazy, when Komamura's face shield slashes open and his face is revealed for the first time and what he actually looks like, he ask's Kenpaichi or something along those lines what he must think of what he is and Kenpaichi tells him he could careless, he just enjoys a good fight without a care of what you are or what you look like. Kenpaichi didn't discriminate or pass any judgement, nothing of the sort.From that moment onwards Zaraki has always been my fav Captain💯
one of the charms of kenpachi is just single minded he is(in a good way) he only cares about having a good fight he doesn't have any lofty ideals, he get caught up in complicated motives he just fights.
@@pforgottonsoul He is someone who is 100% honest with you! If I have to choose any Soul Reaper to have my back in a Doomsday scenario it's Kenpachi and Gin.

@@WatcherXel dude his bankai only make hisagi can control both reiatsu of the target i hope you joking if think he can fight kenpachi because of his bankai
I love how Tosen was able to one-shot Kensei 100 years ago, but when he stabs Kenpachi through the chest in the same way he just doesn’t give a fuck. Kenpachi has to be the most durable Soul Reaper hands down, only one I’ve seen come close is Yamamoto.
Its already stated that Kenpachi's reiatsu is monstrous for a Captain level shinigami. He literally fought with a sealed zanpakuto all the time before the last arc, even when he's up against Nnoitra and Yammy. It even took 4 Stenritters to knock him out
@@ariqyafifatalahputraani7 well yeah, I wasn’t doubting any of that. Kubo never explains this, but having higher reiatsu levels seemingly makes you harder to fatally wound. That’s the only explanation.
@@shuz6925 Yes, but it would only take damage from spiritual energy, whereas Stands can be affected by anything physical or spiritual. Also, the reason it takes damage is because it's part of his Zanpakuto, an extension of yet another extension of his soul, as opposed to being directly connected to his soul like a Stand is. I hadn't realized before, but a more accurate comparison would be to Nero's DT from DMC 4. It mirrors the user, manifests from his weapon (The Yamato), and has no mind of it's own, unlike Stands, which range from limited thinking to complete sentience, and can take (somewhat) independent actions as they see fit.
For someone who is known for being bloodthirsty and recklessly challenging his opponents, Zaraki is actually really smart with how he figured out to beat Tosen's bankai.
I never really liked Zaraki until this episode. From then on, I became his #1 fan. Kubo may not be good with tying up loose ends, but he really knew how to write badass characters.
They had to cut it short due to Kubo’s health. Kubo himself said that if it wasn’t for his health, the Bleach manga would’ve gone on for another 10 years (so it would’ve been done this or next year).
I love Kenpachi, he has the strength of Ichigo without all the fancy power ups. Just a dude with a sword who likes to fight. And with full powerups he is probably as strong as Yamamoto.
Thing about Ichigo is that those power ups are more his true power getting leak out at certain percentages. That and black Zangestu is overprotective and actively limiting him. A full power Ichigo would have murder fuck most of the gotei 13.
tbh I'm not actually sure which is stronger between Yamamoto and Zaraki both using their Bankais. Zaraki's Shikai and physical power alone were enough to make a guy whose power was literally "I can make anything I can imagine" break and die trying to imagine a version of himself who was stronger than him. His Bankai is so overwhelmingly destructive that it threatens all of Soul Society upon activation - like a certain other guy's. Old man, long beard, propensity for setting things on fire...? I'm just saying, there's potential for a really good fight that we never got.
And at the end you couldn't but feel bad for Tosen. His idea of justice was to destroy the system that let his best friend's killer go free, and he pretty much lost himself in his bitterness and rage towards the system.
It's really amazing at how overpowered Zaraki is .. all this time that was his spiritual pressure taken on human form ... You know how powerful you must be for that to take place
When Zaraki says "And after death go reincarnate yourself and come at me again!" to Komamura makes so much sense right now. Maybe Zaraki knew that Jinka Technique exists.
the reason i love zaraki so much is that hes a calm guy, youd expect him to be characters like vegeta or levi where theyre pissed off at every moment but when hes not fighting hes a respectable dude
“Sanity? I never had such a bothersome thing to begin with.” Scrolled a bit and can’t believe no one has mentioned that line. Badass yet mildly unsettling - Kenpachi in a nutshell.
Zarakai is so strong that not only did he beast mode one of the most physically strongest captains and the other that is the best sensory captain. He's the only captain to obtain the title without showing or knowing his bankai. Hes the only shinigami that defeated his captain to become the 11th squad monster captain we all know and love.
Not even his captain, he just showed up one day, killed him after hearing that he is the one who loves fighting the most and kinda just stayed there after that.
@@tomasmisek5598 Eh, the previous before him probably wasn't even that strong. 8th Kenpachi was imprisoned. So the 9th didn't defeat anyone to claim the title. Hence, the 10th beat a nobody. Zaraki is the 11th.
He may not be the brightest or has various abilities like the other captains but it shows how kenpachi is pretty much the strongest soul reaper in terms of raw strength alone.
I love how Kenpachi get shocked by Sajin's first attack lol.. Shows that Sajin goes without playing and doesn't chill. He is the embodiment of "if I have to do something, I will do it now"
too bad he fails to do anything 99% of time regardless. While Kenpachi is fucking around 99% of time but is always doing heavy lifting 100% of time eventually.
@@Mario-kf3ej Toshiro, Tosen, Ukitake, soifon, renji, rose, kensei, central 46, Ywach and so on failed to do anything. Zaraki is only popular cause all the fan service out in Bleach was put in him.. See how Royd Loyd choked him???
@@madaophilippines8418 noone did anything its fiction if Kubo decided that Kenpachi will choke Royd then he would choke Royd not the other way around. You try too apply too much logic to anime "logic" - gotta warn you it doesnt go well. Btw I'm not shitting on Bleach , but it same in idk Naruto or One Piece. We have to accept author version , but we dont have to agree with it - that is being called constructive critcism. Also glad Kenpachi got a lot place to shine - great VA, great character and thats why people love him.
To note he was also suppressing the lion share of his powers then using a little piece of cloth to suppress even more power. Genuinely was more of a monster then anyone thought.
SS arc was dope I enjoyed seeing other captains fight each other(gin vs hitsugaya), they weren't just nameless characters with generic designs, all off them had some crazy abilities and backstory. Kubo did a great job highlighting how ruthless the soul society was, captains had no respect toward each other and they would fight indiscriminately. Would love to see the original 13 in a spin off
Even a bleach hater like me likes Zaraki. It seems like he was the only shinigami that deserves respect. My next favorite is Gin Ichimaru its a shame that he never really fought Zaraki.
Does anyone realize the gravity of him willingly impaling himself on a sword & it not affecting him in the slightest a minute later, let alone fighting two fellow captains using their bankai, & he's just toying with them
The ironic thing is that Kenpachi as a Kid would have easily defeated both of them with no effort. It's bc of him fighting and reaching pure ectasy and the highest form of Euphoria against Retsu "Yachiru" Unohana that he decided to hold back on his opponents and placed so many subconscious shackles on himself and his ridiculous reiatsu that he became so much weaker than he actually is and that's the actual reason he can't hear his sword, except that due to his nevertheless massive reiatsu, his Zanpaktou spirit still materialized and follows him as the cute, sadistc Yachiru we all know and love.
@@knowcomment4525 Who has more reiatsu after the bloodwar timeskip Aizen or Zaraki? ... 10 years after the war. 10 years to learn more about nozarashi and his true power..
@@SuperCrysis92 My favorite character from Bleach is Kenpachi but i gotta be honest. Aizen was reiatsu war potential. Even Yhwach respected enough Aizen to that point that he said to all quincys to fear his spiritual pressure. Ofc Kenpachi was fighting strenght but Aizen is immortal and have stronger reiatsu so Aizen
@@lazarkaric8089 Idk bro. Kenpachi from the getgo has the most potential from any character. Being a kid holding back against the FIRST kenpachi. Unohana. That alone speaks volumes.
@@SuperCrysis92 i think its Aizen. He even casted a #90 Hado when he's still strapped into that reiatsu draining chair. And he was able to use #99 Hado without saying the full incantation
Another example of why cutting out dialogue is bad, even if you already seen the fight a lot of the gravity comes from the dialogue and the resulting actions from those words. If this was your first time seeing this fight its a very watered down experience.
I like that this is where it is established that by grabbing someone’s zanpakuto you can break their Bankai if it’s based around the senses. Nice call back when you have Yama vs Aizen.
When I first saw this man doing this I was sure he'd go down in an epic fashion after taking down one or two. I did NOT expect him to manhandle them like this.
Kenpachi fought the two Captains with their Bankai without removing his eye patch. Imagine how strong Unohana fought Kenpachi with eye patch removed from the start of the battle.
Kenpachi is a genius. He was forced into a situation beyond his reckoning. And despite that,just by observing his opponent through the last sense he had left, he formulated a plan for victory
@@malsawmzela609 Kenpachi won that fight due to the fact he was the last man standing and the last one to faint... Never understood why people say he lost to ichigo
Kenpachi confirmed in his eyes he lost stated why are you sorry you won ya idiot as his sword broke if and he was also taken out of the fight if anything it’s a draw
I dont understand how that was a moment that makes Zaraki your favorite. For me he became my favorite based on his fights with Nnoitra, Komamura, Tousen, Stern Ritters, Unohana etc.
If you read the manga, kenpachi has so much power that he without knowing it suppresses it or raises it to have a good fight with his opponents. It’s the only reason he struggled against ichigo or the arrancar. He’s actually the strongest captain and could of easily destroyed them, unohana removes the seal by fighting him. It turns out they had history and that she was the strongest captain out of everyone but knew kenpachi was if he could return to his old self and no longer suppress himself. He eventually gets his shikai I and then Bankai
He the strongest physically but let's not get crazy if you saying he the strongest overall. He still no match for some people bankais like yamamoto or kisuke. He could probably survive shunsui bankai since his bankai breaks you mentally and we all know kenpachi not right in the head
Kenpachi cant beat. Urhara or Mayuri with prep Ichibei Yammamoto Tosh mature adult (I doubt it) Shinji (Ik friggen his lucks sucks but theortically a guy who realizes on instint and then all is that backwards is going to ruin ken) Aizen Tousen (if he was smart ffs aim for the head) Barragan (idk lol his power is so hax I cant believe he died.) Shinsui I cant imagine Ken giving a damn about the game. tessai ( he has no feats, yet can stop time and do bs he is the most beta covert ba to exist in bleach)
I love the foreshadowing kubo did here by hiding facts about Kenpachi in Tosen’s comment about being a demon and Kenpachi seemingly talking with little girl Yachiru as if it came from inside him.
I think it's important to note that Kenpachi took on TWO captain's using their Bankai's while keeping his eye patch ON
LOL
He did tho if he got stronger after ichigo
He did he probably got hella stronger after battling Ichigo if that's not case then Ichigo is stronger than 5 captains at least
LOL 💯
AND while fighting with one hand. No one could defeat Kenpachi in the Seireitei... maybe Yama-jii or Kuchiki-sama could force him to use 2 hands / remove eyepatch but that's all
Kenpachi is supressing his power to enemy level so he can fight, check his fight with Unohana :)
"Outward appearances have nothing to do with fighting abilities"
Kenpachi is a true man of culture
Then Komamura calls him shallow when he's just joking around.
He only cares if it means you're stronger. I think it just shows a man with no fear doesn't care about outward appearances. Says that anyone that scares just from their appearance is a weakling.
I don't understand why Komamura's next line is that Kenpachi is too focused on appearances. He literally just said appearances aren't important. I think Komamura might be an idiot.

1:25 BAHAHAHA Hisagi thinking he and Iba could go toe-to-toe with Kenpachi.... Adorable.
That's just cute
With Bankai Hisagi could. That doesn’t mean he’d win, but Hisagi wouldn’t go down easily.
@@WatcherXel dude his bankai only make hisagi can control both reiatsu of the target i hope you joking if think he can fight kenpachi because of his bankai

Man the sound effects,osts,vibe, animation...... 🔥🔥 Bleach is just too good
I love how Tosen was able to one-shot Kensei 100 years ago, but when he stabs Kenpachi through the chest in the same way he just doesn’t give a fuck. Kenpachi has to be the most durable Soul Reaper hands down, only one I’ve seen come close is Yamamoto.
Its already stated that Kenpachi's reiatsu is monstrous for a Captain level shinigami. He literally fought with a sealed zanpakuto all the time before the last arc, even when he's up against Nnoitra and Yammy. It even took 4 Stenritters to knock him out
@@ariqyafifatalahputraani7 well yeah, I wasn’t doubting any of that. Kubo never explains this, but having higher reiatsu levels seemingly makes you harder to fatally wound. That’s the only explanation.
@@DiamonDust it also applies to attacks as far as i know. We saw Kenpachi launching energy waves and releasing shockwaves which is pure reiatsu power
Aizen surpasses both of them literally
I wish Konnomaru have a bankai that relates to his appearance or belief or at least a bankai that he uses not fights for him.
Komamura literally has a Jojo stand as his bankai
*L*

It can even discard it's armor
How? The thing is taller than a building. If anything, it's like a Yu-Gi-Oh summon.
@@shuz6925 Yes, but it would only take damage from spiritual energy, whereas Stands can be affected by anything physical or spiritual. Also, the reason it takes damage is because it's part of his Zanpakuto, an extension of yet another extension of his soul, as opposed to being directly connected to his soul like a Stand is.
I hadn't realized before, but a more accurate comparison would be to Nero's DT from DMC 4. It mirrors the user, manifests from his weapon (The Yamato), and has no mind of it's own, unlike Stands, which range from limited thinking to complete sentience, and can take (somewhat) independent actions as they see fit.
For someone who is known for being bloodthirsty and recklessly challenging his opponents, Zaraki is actually really smart with how he figured out to beat Tosen's bankai.
his zanpakuto told him to do so
I mean Tosen is literally stupid for telling zaraki that the only way to see is to hold his sword
@@miralim3582 The Bankai voids sound, so even though Tosen said it, Zaraki couldn't hear it. He didn't get any hints.
I never really liked Zaraki until this episode. From then on, I became his #1 fan. Kubo may not be good with tying up loose ends, but he really knew how to write badass characters.
to be fair to him, the studio kinda fucked him over multiple times
Kubo was rushed af to complete bleach. If he wasn't, then bleach would've been a much greater series.

I love Kenpachi, he has the strength of Ichigo without all the fancy power ups. Just a dude with a sword who likes to fight. And with full powerups he is probably as strong as Yamamoto.
Thing about Ichigo is that those power ups are more his true power getting leak out at certain percentages.
That and black Zangestu is overprotective and actively limiting him.
A full power Ichigo would have murder fuck most of the gotei 13.
tbh I'm not actually sure which is stronger between Yamamoto and Zaraki both using their Bankais. Zaraki's Shikai and physical power alone were enough to make a guy whose power was literally "I can make anything I can imagine" break and die trying to imagine a version of himself who was stronger than him. His Bankai is so overwhelmingly destructive that it threatens all of Soul Society upon activation - like a certain other guy's. Old man, long beard, propensity for setting things on fire...?
I'm just saying, there's potential for a really good fight that we never got.

@@signed2utddid the manga stop after tybw arc? (I am not a manga reader) will they ever continue?
@@ChouMajin-- The Thousand Year Blood War arc has been completed for over a year maybe 2 years.
The worst thing about Tosen was not just how self righteous he was but the fact he was the one who was a traitor and couldn’t be trusted.
And at the end you couldn't but feel bad for Tosen. His idea of justice was to destroy the system that let his best friend's killer go free, and he pretty much lost himself in his bitterness and rage towards the system.
Soul Society were the ones who betrayed Tosen. Tokinada got away with killing Kakyō simply because he's a Noble, that's not justice.
It's really amazing at how overpowered Zaraki is .. all this time that was his spiritual pressure taken on human form ... You know how powerful you must be for that to take place
"Hey, long time no see" ---- Funniest line Zaraki ever let out.
When Zaraki says "And after death go reincarnate yourself and come at me again!" to Komamura makes so much sense right now. Maybe Zaraki knew that Jinka Technique exists.
Yooo someone had the same thought
the reason i love zaraki so much is that hes a calm guy, youd expect him to be characters like vegeta or levi where theyre pissed off at every moment but when hes not fighting hes a respectable dude
Name somebody who wanted more smoke then kenpachi.. Ill wait

“Sanity? I never had such a bothersome thing to begin with.” Scrolled a bit and can’t believe no one has mentioned that line. Badass yet mildly unsettling - Kenpachi in a nutshell.
Zaraki is the best friend ever. His support for Ichigo's development is so honest and fair-play.
its actually a shame he doesnt know about his hollow bankai powers...a fight like vasto lorde-bankai zaraki was gonna be a hell of a fight
Zaraki in front of other captain : "pathethic how can u be a captain with that stregth"
Zaraki in front of Unohana : "mama"

Zarakai is so strong that not only did he beast mode one of the most physically strongest captains and the other that is the best sensory captain. He's the only captain to obtain the title without showing or knowing his bankai. Hes the only shinigami that defeated his captain to become the 11th squad monster captain we all know and love.
Heck he didn't even know his Shikai
He also 1shot the previous squad 11 capitain. Who. Was. The. Previous. Fucking. Kenpachi.
Not even his captain, he just showed up one day, killed him after hearing that he is the one who loves fighting the most and kinda just stayed there after that.
He is like Lord Palpatine that's why I love him. Good sitg he will become
@@tomasmisek5598 Eh, the previous before him probably wasn't even that strong. 8th Kenpachi was imprisoned. So the 9th didn't defeat anyone to claim the title. Hence, the 10th beat a nobody. Zaraki is the 11th.
He may not be the brightest or has various abilities like the other captains but it shows how kenpachi is pretty much the strongest soul reaper in terms of raw strength alone.
Yama is stronger
@@thelegacyofgaming2928nope
@@thelegacyofgaming2928in terms of raw power zaraki is strongest
I love how Kenpachi get shocked by Sajin's first attack lol..
Shows that Sajin goes without playing and doesn't chill. He is the embodiment of "if I have to do something, I will do it now"
too bad he fails to do anything 99% of time regardless. While Kenpachi is fucking around 99% of time but is always doing heavy lifting 100% of time eventually.
@@Mario-kf3ej Toshiro, Tosen, Ukitake, soifon, renji, rose, kensei, central 46, Ywach and so on failed to do anything. Zaraki is only popular cause all the fan service out in Bleach was put in him..
See how Royd Loyd choked him???
@@madaophilippines8418 noone did anything its fiction if Kubo decided that Kenpachi will choke Royd then he would choke Royd not the other way around. You try too apply too much logic to anime "logic" - gotta warn you it doesnt go well.
Btw I'm not shitting on Bleach , but it same in idk Naruto or One Piece. We have to accept author version , but we dont have to agree with it - that is being called constructive critcism. Also glad Kenpachi got a lot place to shine - great VA, great character and thats why people love him.
@@Mario-kf3ejdid you see Naruto in boruto looks like shit
@@rimquelsiretwhat does naruto have to do with anything
To note he was so strong he manifested his swords spirit to the real world and she just lived a completely separate life.
To note he was also suppressing the lion share of his powers then using a little piece of cloth to suppress even more power. Genuinely was more of a monster then anyone thought.
Wasn't even his sword spirit. It was a fragment of the spirit of his Bankai.
"That means I can come at you with everything I got!"

SS arc was dope
I enjoyed seeing other captains fight each other(gin vs hitsugaya), they weren't just nameless characters with generic designs, all off them had some crazy abilities and backstory.
Kubo did a great job highlighting how ruthless the soul society was, captains had no respect toward each other and they would fight indiscriminately.
Would love to see the original 13 in a spin off
この頃のブリーチのワクワク感は尋常じゃなかった
@bbxbxc 高校生だぞ。考えてみよ。人じゃない奴を相手にしてるんだよ。
I ALMOST forgot how badass Kenpachi was. It’s making me want to rewatch
"what do you think of a world without light or sound" he asks the man who can't hear him LOL
Kenpachi my favorite character all of anime
I see, you're a man of culture
Shunsui is better tho
Both are great don’t make choose
Even a bleach hater like me likes Zaraki. It seems like he was the only shinigami that deserves respect. My next favorite is Gin Ichimaru its a shame that he never really fought Zaraki.
@@charlestaylor1214 Shunsui is a overrated loser.
Kenpachi is strength personified, never whines and he fights like a true man.
Oh he whines plenty, especially when his enemies don't give him a good enough fight.
He wines whe he have to think
Even hollow ichigo wines a lot when he have to do " thinking "
True men do not have plot armor, which is how Kenpachi made it so far in the series. Yama is probably the only true man in the series.
I never get tired of watching this scene. I’ve probably watched it 100 times now.
You can always love a character with raw power and only relies on himself
Unlike Naruto who relied on borrowed power from some old dead demigod to get strong
Kenpachi is too much of a badass
Kenny's been fighting with his eyepatch the whole time. He wasn't even a little bit serious.
Kenpachi: "CALL AN AMBULANCE, CALL AN AMBULANCE"
Kenpachi grabbing Tosen's zanpaktou : *"But not for me!"*
I gotta say Bleach is one of few anime where both the sub and dub are good.
I'll never get tired of "Sanity? Sorry but I've never had such bothersome thing." 😂😂😂😂
Does anyone realize the gravity of him willingly impaling himself on a sword & it not affecting him in the slightest a minute later, let alone fighting two fellow captains using their bankai, & he's just toying with them
The ironic thing is that Kenpachi as a Kid would have easily defeated both of them with no effort. It's bc of him fighting and reaching pure ectasy and the highest form of Euphoria against Retsu "Yachiru" Unohana that he decided to hold back on his opponents and placed so many subconscious shackles on himself and his ridiculous reiatsu that he became so much weaker than he actually is and that's the actual reason he can't hear his sword, except that due to his nevertheless massive reiatsu, his Zanpaktou spirit still materialized and follows him as the cute, sadistc Yachiru we all know and love.
@@knowcomment4525 Who has more reiatsu after the bloodwar timeskip Aizen or Zaraki? ... 10 years after the war. 10 years to learn more about nozarashi and his true power..
@@SuperCrysis92 My favorite character from Bleach is Kenpachi but i gotta be honest. Aizen was reiatsu war potential. Even Yhwach respected enough Aizen to that point that he said to all quincys to fear his spiritual pressure. Ofc Kenpachi was fighting strenght but Aizen is immortal and have stronger reiatsu so Aizen
@@lazarkaric8089 Idk bro. Kenpachi from the getgo has the most potential from any character. Being a kid holding back against the FIRST kenpachi. Unohana. That alone speaks volumes.
@@SuperCrysis92 i think its Aizen. He even casted a #90 Hado when he's still strapped into that reiatsu draining chair. And he was able to use #99 Hado without saying the full incantation
One of the most badass characters in all of anime. Just bat shit crazy and the voice actor suits him so well.
He's Akainu from One Piece too so it's a good voice actor
"After you're dead go reincarnate and come at me again." So badass 😂
Tousen literally foreshadowing kenpachi bankai form by calling him demon
Another example of why cutting out dialogue is bad, even if you already seen the fight a lot of the gravity comes from the dialogue and the resulting actions from those words. If this was your first time seeing this fight its a very watered down experience.
0:54 Hashirama's lost brother
I like that this is where it is established that by grabbing someone’s zanpakuto you can break their Bankai if it’s based around the senses. Nice call back when you have Yama vs Aizen.
Only when it’s in bankai.
One other person who was stated that it would take two captains to fight was the head Captain Yamamoto. Just shows how strong Kenpachi really is.
Makes no sense. Kenpachi isn't even close to Yama, he just has more plot armor. Nothing Kenpachi has done could top that insane bankai that Yama has.
man, early Bleach is amazing. the music gives ma chills.
You know I didn't realize until re watching this is that Aizen weakness was foreshadowed from this scene. Marvelous!
What his weakness
Holding a Shinigami Zanpkuto negates their abilities
WHATTTTTTT. Nice
"I can't lose to the likes of you!" I think that might have been foreshadowing Tosen's ties with Aizen and his hatred for Shinigami.
I didn't get this part... Explain a bit
When I first saw this man doing this I was sure he'd go down in an epic fashion after taking down one or two. I did NOT expect him to manhandle them like this.
Kenpachi fought the two Captains with their Bankai without removing his eye patch. Imagine how strong Unohana fought Kenpachi with eye patch removed from the start of the battle.
One captain*
actually she nerfed zaraki
Kenpachi: call the ambulance, but not for me.
Kenpachi is a genius. He was forced into a situation beyond his reckoning. And despite that,just by observing his opponent through the last sense he had left, he formulated a plan for victory
From the moment I seen Zaraki fight Ichigo he was my favorite
Same
Day one I liked him
That fight was fake af lmao. There was 0% chance of Ichigo winning that fight, even with all his trump card. But the plot forces him to win anyway.
@@malsawmzela609 Kenpachi won that fight due to the fact he was the last man standing and the last one to faint... Never understood why people say he lost to ichigo
Kenpachi confirmed in his eyes he lost stated why are you sorry you won ya idiot as his sword broke if and he was also taken out of the fight if anything it’s a draw
I dont understand how that was a moment that makes Zaraki your favorite. For me he became my favorite based on his fights with Nnoitra, Komamura, Tousen, Stern Ritters, Unohana etc.
Zaraki Kenpachi. Psyching people out since the first 11th Squad Captain :)
Even 1v4 wouldn't be enough
Kenny is NOT human
👹
kenapachi only reason I start watching Bleach 😍😍😍
Aizen was the reason why I started bleach
Aizen *
If you read the manga, kenpachi has so much power that he without knowing it suppresses it or raises it to have a good fight with his opponents. It’s the only reason he struggled against ichigo or the arrancar. He’s actually the strongest captain and could of easily destroyed them, unohana removes the seal by fighting him. It turns out they had history and that she was the strongest captain out of everyone but knew kenpachi was if he could return to his old self and no longer suppress himself. He eventually gets his shikai I and then Bankai
He the strongest physically but let's not get crazy if you saying he the strongest overall. He still no match for some people bankais like yamamoto or kisuke. He could probably survive shunsui bankai since his bankai breaks you mentally and we all know kenpachi not right in the head
Kenpachi cant beat.
Urhara or Mayuri with prep
Ichibei
Yammamoto
Tosh mature adult (I doubt it)
Shinji (Ik friggen his lucks sucks but theortically a guy who realizes on instint and then all is that backwards is going to ruin ken)

Figthing 2 captain, They use shikai and bankai.
Kenpachi?
