ANALYSIS MODE ENGAGE!

Kenpachi's mere activation of his Bankai LEVELS BUILDINGS. And I thought Zanka no Tachi and Daiguren Hyōrinmaru had adverse effects on their surroundings.

Anyway, Kenpachi's Bankai, like that of Ichigo, is visibly underwhelming. His sword gets smaller, his clothes change a bit, and, oh, he BECOMES an ONI. Gerard doesn't see much difference and decides to go back to the smackdown. Unfortunately, he fails to anticipate Kenpachi ripping his arm off with his teeth, Rick Grimes style. Then, before even The Miracle can kick in, a snarling Kenpachi slices through Gerard's shield... and his face, knocking him from Wahrwelt. A timely activation of Quincy: Vollständig saves Gerard, but Kenpachi ain't having none o' that. He straight up bisects Gerard, leaving him to fall in two.

Well then. I actually liked this chapter. Kenpachi hasn't actively kicked this much ass since fighting Nnoitra. The whole 'more power' problem I referenced in my blog is still sorta apparent; while we don't know for sure what his Bankai is or what it does, I'm thinking it might be akin to Ichigo's full Hollowfication, in that it both boosts his physical attributes and turns him into a raging monster attacking everything in sight. Don't be surprised if we get a chapter of Kenny attacking the Shinigami before Yachiru calms him down. If we get a name for his Bankai, it'll probably be after that.
