I'm start to like Askin more and more, he gave off a real Starrk vibe this chapter with his whole laid back attitude and not wanting to have to fight. And after Askin's comment about Gremmy being powerful but unskilled I'm reminded alot of Gilgamesh form Fate/Stay Night. Just throws a lot of attacks at his opponent with no real strategy in mind because he's unused to someone being able to counter-attack, hell just replace all those guns with swords and you got Gate of Babylon (not counting the earth magic attack he stole from Jura from FT. Maybe Gremmy's real power is to copy attacks from other anime XD).

However even after three chapters Gremmy still doesn't come across as a credible villain to me, maybe because he's fighting Kenpachi and that stupid line about bones to cookies, so hopefully now that he's dropping the kid act and going to fight seriously I might find him more of a threat.

So after Kenpachi's line at the end of the chapter referring to his Zanpakuto, it's giving me the idea that his Shikai works similarly to Ikkaku's Bankai and that has to be "woken up" before it can be fully used. But instead of being lazy like Ikkaku's, Kenny's Zanpakuto wants a real fight before it's power can be fully unleased which would fit perfectly with Kenpachi's whole handicapping himself to make a fight harder/last longer.
