Mindblown!

Like everyone else, I was so shocked that the kid had killed Rose and Kensei. I don't see him bringing them back from the dead; I think that their death is definitive until he gets killed (similar to Tsukishima's power).

Kenpachi being matched against a child doesn't look good at first sight, yet his mindset is perfect to fight against his ability. No matter in what scenario he's going to be placed, he's going to slash until he kills the boy.

And I wonder: is their another "true" Sternritter V or Gwenhael, despite being the result of another Sternritter, is the one?
