Talk:Kenpachi Zaraki

Nozarashi's Release Command
I want to notice that the release command is wrong (according to chapter 577), it's not 飲み込め (Nomikome) it's 呑め (Nome). The issue is on the translation corner.--EvilDragonLord (talk) 18:15, April 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * Indeed there was a error with it due to my misjudgement :C sorry Guys :c A proper command is as EvilDragon said :). Mad — 皮肉と嫌味使い. (汞)  20:14, April 24, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've gone ahead and made the appropriate changes. Thanks for bringing it up.--Xilinoc (talk) 21:09, April 24, 2014 (UTC)

Improve on Endurance and Durability
We should add more detail to both Endurance and Durability, due to his battle with Gremmy, enduring bullets and missiles in 575, and the space hole and explosion in 578. CoolJazzman (talk) 18:19, April 26, 2014 (UTC)
 * Done.--Xilinoc (talk) 14:03, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Nozarashi's Ability
Isn't Nozarashi's ability to cut through anything? Not only did it cut through everything he swung at (including the fabric of space), Kenpachi said at 2 different points in the battle with Gremmy that he can cut through anything. SilverRain (talk) 03:26, May 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, while that's likely the special ability (if it even has one), what we've seen so far isn't enough evidence to officially state as much. First off, Kenpachi didn't actually cut through the fabric of space, at least as far as I can tell: he cut one of Gremmy's clones through the closing gap, allowing him to break through. Secondly, Kenpachi has stated that he can cut through anything, and he did so once before he unleashed the true form of Nozarashi: all we can draw from that statement is a testament to his physical strength. All we really know about the power of Nozarashi is that it can destroy a meteorite in a single swing, which is pretty impressive in its own right.


 * tl;dr might be the ability, but we con't have enough conclusive evidence to say so at this point. Hope that helps.--Xilinoc (talk) 05:02, May 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * He's always boats about being able to cut anything like Nnoitra's Hierro way back in Hueco Mundo!! It could simply be a result of his dense, vast Reiatsu so special ability is inconclusive at this point!!

David Lodge might have possibly returned to play Kenpachi.
This is purely speculation but I was doing a screen grab for voice comparison to figure out voices and I found this. I think he might possibly be voicing Giriko, I'm still working on that, but it would be odd for him to return after nearly two years and not voice Kenpachi? Again, this is speculation, but I would be prepared to change it in the coming months.-- 19:20, May 18, 2014 (UTC)

Sorry but unless David Lodge is voicing Kenpachi when Ichigo reclaims his powers, it doesn't seem to be the case given the results of tonight's episode.--Hockey Machete (talk) 04:35, August 10, 2014 (UTC)

Nozarashi is a melee type
I may sound like a broken record, repeating a closed subject, but I would like to dispute Nozarashi's ability once again. Isn't it just a melee-type Zanpakutō? Like Kazeshini and Zangetsu, the blade simply changes upon a Shikai release, and the user still uses the blade to fight melee-style, with no special abilities, just taking advantage of the blade's new shape for different styles of inflicting damage? In Nozarashi's case, it seems that it simply uses the new form of a gigantic axe to increase its physical prowess and cutting range. I mean, until/unless we see some special ability later on, it still acts and can be classified as a melee-type that relies on brute force and its shape. No Kidō abilities whatsoever. Yatanogarasu (talk) 05:57, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Not sure why this is even a topic considering that its stated as a melee-type on the zanpakuto page and has been considered as such well before the name of his zanpakuto was given.--


 * Well, it says "Shikai Special Ability: Unknown". Should we change it to increasing his striking power and range based on the axe's shape? Yatanogarasu (talk) 06:48, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * There should be the reference to support it that seems the most logical step seeing as the cutting power was shown numerous times in his fight against gremmy, thats likely the full scope of its power. --


 * So you're saying it is possible that it has some yet-to-be-seen special abilities like Zangetsu's Getsuga Tenshō? Increasing in cutting power and range doesn't count? Yatanogarasu (talk) 07:08, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Im not sure if it has abilities like that, there is obviously room for those possibilities. what Im saying is that as long its properly referenced the cutting power it showed in his fight verses gremmy would be the best description of how far its abilities go.--


 * Okay, just wanna clear things out, don't wanna be berated for adding things that I'm not supposed to. Yatanogarasu (talk) 09:57, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

Well, I went ahead and fixed things up, so I guess that's that.--Xilinoc (talk) 11:36, June 20, 2014 (UTC)

More on Strength
Could you add for Strength, that he can even hold up the sky from closing on him, because in 578 http://mangahead.com/index.php/Manga-English-Scan/Bleach/Bleach-578-English-Scan/10.jpg?action=big&size=original you see that space room Gremmy made for him is closing on him, as it got smaller and when he used his sword to cut through it, you see Kenpachi hand holding onto it. CoolJazzman (talk) 07:48, August 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * I think that at this point, we have more than enough examples of his physical strength. If we listed every time Kenpachi proved how unbelievably swole he is, that section would be as long as Ichigo's page.--Xilinoc (talk) 00:10, August 16, 2014 (UTC)

Improvement on appearance
After looking through chapters of the manga after the timeskip and after Kenpachi's training with Unohana, i believe the hair section of his appearance should be updated to say that his hair is considerably longer after his training with her, before his training with Unohana his hair reached just below his divisions number on his haori, after his training his hair ends (as best as i could tell) just at his waist, for a comparison take a look at chapter 463, page 3 and compare it to chapter 573, page 8 (not including cover).

Nozarashi Appearance
I don't think that looks like axe much, doesn't it look more like huge cleaver or a butcher knife with ribbons tied on it? --Rainzoneg (talk) 12:08, May 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * I would have to agree with this.
