Makes me think of the whole Godly ki thing in DBZ. Super Saiyan Blue and Super Saiyan God both have access to Godly ki which is a similar concept to Transcendence, however Golden Frieza specifically does not have Godly ki, yet is still stronger than the 2 Super Saiyan Blue's when at 100% power.

I think Kenpachi would potentially be the same, he's technically not transcended, but is probably just insanely strong enough to be a match for them while in Bankai (assuming his power is on a similar level to Transcended Aizen/Ichigo).

As a slight nitpick, there is clearly SOME shadows from his horns on Kenpachi's face, comparing his face hereto all the other ones of his face.
