No, sorry, they're right: Zaraki isn't even remotely intelligent. The reason he gave for being able to cut anything Gremmy threw at him, a chapter ago, is exactly the reason he's still breathing: "[He's] Kenpachi".

It was reflexes and raw fighting instinct that saved him with Tosen. Not intelligence. And every single fight since then, involving him, has been "KENPACHI SMASH!"

Hopefully we'll move on to another character soon. Ichigo would be nice. At this point, I'm counting on Ichigo just to bring the PLOT back to this manga.
