The Return of Kenpachi Zaraki
Knew it would happen sooner or later in the Zanpakto arc but it will be interesting to see, anyone think we will see muramasa try and extract his zanpakto? What do the rest of ya all think will happen with his return now? Shillagan 08:20, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

I think he's gonna go head-on against ByaKuya or other Zanpakto with bankai since he always seeks for the strongest to fight. What's the song in kenpachi's dramatic return in the zanp arc btw?

I agree, I think Kenpachi is just going to come in and wreak havoc. Either he and Byakuya have some plan, thats why he was AWOL or he'll beat everyone senseless just for the sake of it. Muramasa probably wont be able to communicate with his sword cause he doesn't know its name or it just simply doesn't care to listen to Muramasa. Also, with the song - Im not sure if it has been released yet, maybe on the 4th OST along w/ Grimmjow's awesome release music. KamikazeNewf 02:10, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I think his head was messed with like Captain Kuchiki's. Kuchiki is weak without his sword. Kenpachi can fight captains with his lame sword, so unlike Kuchiki he has not been weakened. I would be scared to fight him in that state. (And his instinct seems to be "kill".) PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) 02:46, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

How is Byakuya weak with out his sword? He defeated Renji and his zanpakuto (who knows its bankai) single handied as well as Rukia's Zanpakuto with ease. All he used was flashstep and Kido. I think he is strong on of the stongest captains in SS and thats with out his Zanpakuto. He doesnt have a vast amout of spiritual power like Kenpachi but he is far from weak.

Oh oh I think he'll first fight with the zanpakto of yumichika, why.. cause yumichika kinda seemed to lose to him and because he has a kido-zanpakto who has the ability to drain others reiatsu, what would be more awesome then having a reiatsusucking zanpakto fighting Zaraki Kenpachi with his vast reiatsu.. Gonna be some woopass episode!! -- User:Shinzawai

Well i've noticed something while on this wikia. Out of all the characters in Bleach, most people seem to be more confused about Kenpachi then anyother. At this point i am probably wasting my time trying to explain this next thing to the other users here, but I will. Here u go, u can read this next part if u want(but I doubt anyone will)& u can listen to what I type(which I know nobody will). Its not the Zanpakuto who doesn't try to communicate, its Kenpachi(Or at least it has been in the past). When Ichigo was fighting Kenpachi, Kenpachis zanpakuto was howling(trying to call out to Kenpachi). It was howling so loud that Ichigo & even Zangetsu heard it. As far as the next Ep is concerned it looked to me as he was closest to Kira & Wabisuke. So after hes done completely pummeling Wabisuke he will go to help Yumichika or at least thats my opinion. I actually hope hes gonna tell us where he has been all this time. SQUAD 11 RULES!!!! Minato88 18:03, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Or maybe, just maybe, Muramasa draws the spirit on kenpachis zanpakuto, but is unable to make him join his side because kenpachis zanpakuto has the same thirst for fight as he does. And because of that Kenpachi finally meets his zanpakuto, and maybe even learns something :D Firelake October 29th 21.05 GMT+2

Since the Zanpakuto Unknown Tales arc, he has made a dramatic appearance and I wonder if his Zanpakuto's spirit will be finally revealed. what are your thoughts on this? 月光ヒレ 04:21, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

It definitely won't cause this is filler after all. Ergroilnin 08:15, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

When Kenpachi returned, he seemed to come out from under a building, also, where there is Kenpachi, Yachiru is sure to follow and it has not been confirmed if she does or does not know the name of her Zanpakuto.

Yachiru and Zaraki were out in Rukongai fighting Hollows. I'm ok with that. And they got lost on the way back. I'm ok with that too. But how on earth did they end up inside that building? It was obviously done for dramatic effect and to help with Kira's situation (which I am fine with) but they made no attempt to justify it. Poor marks for effort there. --Yyp 16:17, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Defeated Zanpakuto
We now have 8 Zanpakuto defeated: Gegetsuburi, Hōzukimaru, Hyōrinmaru, Ruri'iro Kujaku, Sode no Shirayuki, Wabisuke, Zabimaru and Zangetsu. That's out of a total of 20. Practically half of them. That's quite a fast pace for the story. At this rate, it we will run out of bad guys before too long unless more are introduced or the current fighting is stopped for a while to allow for other developments. Do people think this is moving at too fast a pace or not? --Yyp 16:17, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
