I'm not exactly sure about the transcendence theory. Because when it comes to that factor, it required certain measures to be able to transcend via Aizen using the Hogyoku and Ichigo training to the point where he broke the limits of his power. This is just a Bankai which is nothing special aside from unlocking a Zanpakto's final form. However, I personally believe that when Gerard said that his Bankai state is "minimal" at best, it's possible that Kenpachi hasn't really gone all out meaning that while he is just demolishing Gerard, there is little bits of power that he might be holding back. If the marking on his forehead is really a third eye, I think that it operates the same way his eye patch operates. Once that eye is open, then he can truly unleash Hell.
