I don't hate Kenpachi; he's actually one of the captains I happen to like. But let's be realistic here. The Vandenreich Leader is the one who defeated Harribel, who was the 3rd Espada before Aizen's fall. While we don't know exactly how much any of the captains have improved since then, it's apparent that the Leader was monstrously strong, probably higher than most of the captains and closer to Yamamoto's level than any other fighter we know of. The guy survived Yamamoto 1000 years ago, so it's only logical he'd find ways to counter the Shinigami, and possibly Yamamoto as well. I actually hope I'm wrong about him able to counter Yamamoto, but I know he has prepped for the encounter to some degree.

And "Godpachi" comes from fans who happen to like Narita's crappy novel rendition of Kenpachi. That novel had trashy characters, with completely broken and unoriginal abilities, and Kubo happened to praise only one scene that NOBODY is 100% clear about, making them think Narita's rendition of Kenpachi is canon. With the release of this chapter, Kubo just effectively illustrated that Narita's version of Kenpachi is incredibly inaccurate, and has no chance of becoming canon.
