It seems like Kubo has forgotten about Kenpachi, because even though he was taken to the palace to be healed along with Byakuya, Renji, and Rukia, I didn't see him in either of the hot springs.

I'm surprised Kubo isn't giving him more screen time. After all, he's a freaking Special War Potential, alongside Ichigo, and I think Aizen. Aren't those guys supposed to be important in this arc? He was the only one who actually defeated the Sternritter he was fighting (3 of them, mind you) so he deserves his title. But what gives, Kubo?
