"...that dude is a demon who will simply perfect his bankai in 3days."

If that were the case, then he would've been able to use his Shikai's full power all along and wouldn't have needed to fight Unohana in order to learn its name. Power has nothing to do with how fast you achieve Bankai; as stated on the wiki, it takes at least 10 years of training, plus the requisite experience and communication with one's Zanpakuto. Meanwhile, Kenpachi has known his Zanpakuto's name for...what, a day or two now? Using his Shikai to its fullest extent is expected, but unless he somehow gains access to the Tenshintai, he's not gonna magically learn Bankai in 3 days. Besides, it would be kind of an insult to his character if he did gain Bankai, since he's come all this way while relying entirely on his prowess in swordsmanship and immense physical capabilities. So I'm actually rooting for him to not achieve Bankai and instead kick ass in his usual way.
