Talk:Kenpachi Zaraki

Kenpachi Space Slicing
I believe it is misleading that Nozarashi is written to be able to "cut through even space itself". It clearly cannot as seen in the scene, where the only thing that we see getting cut is Gremmys clone. Kenpachi broke out of the void himself (probably in a similar manner to how Ulquiorra broke out of the Caja Negacion) which you can see from the way he forces the small hole open with his hand. The hole Kenpachi broke free from does not even remotely look like it has been slashed open, especially considering Nozarashis incredible cutting power.

I understand Kenpachi made his bold claim that he could cut through anything with Nozarashi, but that was proven oh-so-wrong when he could only chip Hoffnung. So I doubt he could cut through something without form when he cannot even cut through something with form.

Another reason is that this so-called ability to "cut through space" was never ever used or even alluded to after this event, suggesting such an ability does not exist. If it did, I am sure he would have used it against Pernida or Gerard.

Shunpo skill
Say, is it certain that Kenpachi cannot do Shunpo? I'm asking because, during the fight with Gerard Valkyrie, Kenpachi appeared there mere moments after getting out of Mayuri's healing tank, whcih was quite the distance away. Ikkaku and Yumichika were even shocked that Kenpachi got there before they did. I think it's safe to say Kenpachi can at least do some form of Shunpo by the end, what do you think?

 * Makes sense to me, I would cite specific pages in the refs but other than that it looks good.--Xilinoc (talk) 08:36, August 7, 2020 (UTC)

11th or 2nd Kenpachi?
I know Zaraki was officially stated to be the 11th Kenpachi, due to him slaying the 10th Kenpachi, but considering the First Kenpachi was never actually killed in battle until Zaraki did it, doesn't that make him the actual 2nd Kenpachi by default? I mean, we don't know how the former 2nd Kenpachi got that position, but I think it's worth noting that Zaraki may be the true 2nd Kenpachi after all. Timjer (talk) 19:47, 9 August 2021 (UTC)


 * I've thought about this a couple times and that's possible, but until he's explicitly specified/identified as such in a databook or future chapter, we only have "11th Kenpachi" as a citable/sourceable title for him.--Xilinoc (talk) 20:42, 9 August 2021 (UTC)


 * True, but I was thinking of adding it to the trivia section or something. Timjer (talk) 20:43, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
