Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Gremmy Thoumeaux

 is a fight which takes place during the Quincy Blood War. It focuses on the conflict between 11th Division Captain Kenpachi Zaraki and Sternritter "V" Gremmy Thoumeaux.

Prologue
After killing Guenael Lee, Gremmy reveals he has killed 3rd Division Captain Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi and 9th Division Captain Kensei Muguruma. Dodging an attack by Yachiru Kusajishi's Shikai, Gremmy ridicules her attack and grabs her hand. He goes on to imagine all the bones in her body being made of cookies. They are then interrupted by Kenpachi who breaks through a nearby wall and, saying he came there because he felt Yachiru's Reiatsu weakening, expresses disappointment at who he found there.

As Yachiru notes Kenpachi's arrival, 4th Division Lieutenant Isane Kotetsu asks him where Retsu Unohana is. Answering that he has killed her, Kenpachi says Isane is welcome to try to kill him if she hates him. Isane states he must have inherited her name and expresses relief at this. Gremmy suddenly interrupts and notes who Kenpachi Zaraki is and how strong he seems to be.

Battle
The ground starts shaking, prompting a large structure to emerge. As the structure rises, the two dead captains slide off. Isane rushes after them and catches them whilst telling Kenpachi to be careful. Proclaiming he has set a stage worthy of the great Kenpachi Zaraki, Gremmy goes on to introduce himself and his power. After hearing Gremmy's statement about him being the strongest Sternritter, Kenpachi dismisses this as irrelevant and attacks. Imagining his body is stronger than steel, Gremmy stops Kenpachi's blade and elaborates further on his power. Kenpachi however proceeds to force his sword through him, wounding his shoulder severely. Kenpachi, stating Gremmy can't imagine anything he can't cut through, declares he can cut through anything because he is "Kenpachi".

As several of Kenpachi's subordinates below the structure enthusiastically notice his presence, Kenpachi notes how loud they are. Gremmy gets up, revealing he has imagined himself healed. Gremmy declares he will kill the captain through using his imagination only, not having to lift a finger to do it. Lava suddenly erupts, with Gremmy stating that it comes from his mind. Saying it's illogical, but he doesn't dislike illogical things, Kenpachi cuts away the lava and tells Yachiru to get away. Gremmy states she can't because her bones are made of cookies, prompting Kenpachi to ask what a cookie is. Hearing Gremmy say he should have made them into Rakugan instead, Kenpachi understands the concept and charges at him.

Suddenly surrounded by water, Kenpachi falls into a newly formed fissure in the ground which then closes. As Gremmy states Kenpachi won't be crushed but he will be drowned within an hour, Kenpachi breaks free. With a large chunk of the ground rapidly approaching him, Gremmy imagines it disappearing. Kenpachi appears, holding Yachiru, and tries to cut Gremmy who imagines a steel beam blocking Kenpachi. Kenpachi then notes how Gremmy's power seems to be no longer affecting Yachiru and speculates on his power not working once he shifts his attention away.
