In the novel Bleach: Spirits Are Forever With You. The author gave Kenpachi the ability to grow his reiatsu to be stronger than whatever opponent he faces, thus meaning that even if he faced an opponent 100 times stronger than himself, he could just make himself stronger by using this ability. Thus he was termed Godpachi by people who have read the story. Kubo has now gone out of his way to prove that that novel is not canon.
