Oh boy, Kenpachi isn't messing around this chapter.

Damn, he literally transform into a demon.

And he took a hard bite out of nothing and Gerard's arm get ripped??

EDIT: On a second thought, it seems like Kenpachi did stopped Gerard's punch, bit his fist and ripped his arm off.

Damn Zaraki is looking so beastly. That Bankai.
He is freaking owning Gerad. First slicing his arm & then slicing him in half.

Wow just wow, the other characters spoke for how I felt, holly crap dam, Kenpachi I have never seen him this beastly before.

Miracle man quit trying to ruin this moment by putting down Kenpachi's bankai, it is just so awesome. I like to think mr. miracle will recover, but it is not looking good for him.

I wonder if Kenpachi will have to pay a price, Yachiru is going to lose her physical form and only be a sword. Tough arc for Kenpachi, first he lost his mentor and now he is going to lose his little sidekick.

Is it me or is this the first bankai that is actually a body transformation and not a sword transformation?
Is there a relevance to Arrancar's Ressureccion?

I don't understand... Bankai is meant to be bigger than your Shikai, so dafuq's going on here? And since when does Bankai effect your skin?

Besides that, now that Zaraki just REKT Gerard, it's obvious he'll either parry him or even overwhelm him with Vollstandig. Which will lead to the reappearance of the Vizards who go Bankai and thus together they win.

2/5 because I've had enough of Zaraki

Holy hell, Kenpachi literally tore off Gerard's arm with his mouth. Also not only is his skin red but he also appears to have horns, so he's basically an Oni from Japanese folklore or so that's what it seems to be.

Quick but brutal chapter and the artwork was great. Don't think the fight is over yet though and honestly I don't want it to be. Plus with Gerard supposedly being the soul king's heart there's more to be found out about him and the soul king in general.

Also we didn't even get a name for Kenpachi's bankai this chapter, which is weird.

.... Not this again.... where did it EVER say that Bankai is supposed to be BIGGER? STRONGER/MORE POWERFUL yes, but bigger? hah hell no. That's the Shikai rule. Remember the MC aka Ichigo's Bankai? It's really small. His normal sword is in Shikai form (as he can't suppress his energy), which is obv way bigger than his Bankai form.

As for the comment on his skin, well... there ain't no rule as to what a Bankai actually does, is there..? Just like old man Yamamoto had a form where he could envelop his whole body in flames. Or just like how Shunsui can become shadows or hide in them.

Zaraki just found out about his Bankai, he has little to no control over it atm. Remember, it takes at least 10 years to get to control it perfectly. Even after the 10 years, the Bankai form continous to progress together with his master, just like Yamamoto's Bankai got different from 500 years ago (just try to remember the chapter where Yama explained this before or during his Bankai reveal)

Didn't Byakuya say that when Ichigo went Bankai? And I'm pretty sure it's always been either the same size or bigger, never smaller.

Remember the MC aka Ichigo's Bankai? It's really small. His normal sword is in Shikai form (as he can't suppress his energy), which is obv way bigger than his Bankai form.

1) Ichigo's Bankai wasn't even legitimate, as it was forged by his Quincy soul.
2) Ichigo's outfit was part of his Bankai, thus that forgery is still bigger than his Shikai.

As for the comment on his skin, well... there ain't no rule as to what a Bankai actually does, is there..? Just like old man Yamamoto had a form where he could envelop his whole body in flames.

Exactly, it was a technique, not a default transformation.

Yes, he did say he thought so, but a thought ain't no rule to me.

1) Ichigo's Bankai wasn't even legitimate, as it was forged by his Quincy soul.
2) Ichigo's outfit was part of his Bankai, thus that forgery is still bigger than his Shikai.

Sigh.. If you go by that way of thought, Zaraki even has a bigger Bankai than his Shikai, plz try to look at it without personal ego feelings, idc if you are right or wrong, just wanted to help you as you didn't get it. So Ichigo is a bad example to you? fine fine, then let's take Gin for starters. Nothing in his Bankai appearance changes. Same goes for Byakuya, Toshiro and some others. Their size stay the same, yet it is still way more powerful. If you still insist on the 'outfit' theory you got there, just ignore Byakuya and Toshiro, that still leaves Gin. Gin's Bankai is EXACTLY the same as his Shikai, except that it is way more powerful (faster, better force, better cutting power...). Still not convinced? Then let's see the most awesome of them all: Genryusai Yamamoto. His Shikai is defo larger than his rusty looking Bankai. This, or Kubo screwed up the drawing on the most epic Bankai reveal (don't think he screwed up on such an important part tbh).
Exactly, it was a technique, not a default transformation.

I don't see how this relates to my post? That seems like a strawman tbh.

These are gonna be answered both at the same time. Yes, it was a technique, which I'm sure of he had to learn to control to even be able to MAKE it a technique. For all we know, he might as well have had that as a side effect just like Kenpachi now. That's where my quote related to the post. How I see it atm, Kenpachi's red skin indicates he is in a berserkers mode, which he has no control over. Perhaps when he masters his Bankai, he will be able to control it and doing so, also stopping the red color on him from appearing, unless he decides to go full berserk mode.

You can look at it however you want to though, this is just how I look at it.

1)Fuck you Kubo for repeating the ending of the last chapter. When each individual chapter has only revelant content at the end we all remember that Zaraki's bankai is coming, you lazy bastard 2 pages wasted.
2)Zaraki new design looks great, now I want an explanation what it actually does
3)Since Thor didn't use his vollstanding we know it is not an end to a fight. It coulde be nice surprise to see quincy not showing his obligatory secret power but that would be too much to ask for, so we are still stuck with Thor.

I think that by giving Zaraki red skinned-devilish look Kubo wanted to create a contrast between Thor-dude angelic wings. This motive may come into play later hinting at origins of quincy powers in general I think.

i don't want it to come back especially in this time with what qualifies as anime. Bleach had a lavish animations, so fluid and detailed. When FT started I was like - "Wtf is that? It barely moves!" and later One Piece has become the same since they can get away with this as long as they are adding music and sound to still images.

Zaraki's Bankai is exactly what you would expect but it makes the Bankai so anticlimactic. Also pretty much Ichigo's berserk hollow mode with a different coat of paint.

Calling Kenpachi a fodder, I said what!? I beg to differ... What really is scary to me is that Zaraki has beaten other captains shiki and bankai, espada resurrection and three sternritter with a regular sword so imagine what his bankai can really do because this is just the beginning is like ordering an appetizer... You start to much and you realize that you can’t wait for the main dish to arrive. XD

Am I the only one who is already bored of the fact that every fight is basically:
One side pushes the enemy,
then the other one shows and ability and pushes,
then the first ones show another ability and push...
So on and so forth until the good guys pull the best ability and finally win?
I really wish this was the end for this particular quincy. It would be a breath of fresh air to NOT have a fight so painfully drawn out. Plus it would show that Ken-chan's ban-kai really is just so powerful.

[quote=Kanic message=45504703]

I could be wrong here, but I believe that Thor actually went Volstandig when Zaraki threw him off the edge. I believe the ending scene, with Zaraki cleaving Thor in half, is so significant because the big man was giving his all. I feel this is further substantiated by Thor's own words, "I can't believe a Shinigami has backed me into a corner like this!".

I'm hoping this is the case, anyway. I don't want Zaraki's bankai undermined by another hax-ass VLSTNDG. And did anyone else have visions of a potential Bankai (Hollow) Ichigo fighting Zaraki in his berserker mode? It's the most interesting fight to make in my book. After all, does anyone really care about Ywach vs Ichigo nowadays?

Gerard better step it up.

Kenpachi's zan looks like it's broken, so this might not even be close to his full power or he's not even in bankai at all.



The red skin must be from the reiatsu overwhelming him into a berserk state.
Oetsu needs to remake his zan just like he did with Zangetsu.

From chapter 65 to 669, we got to see Zaraki using his Bankai for the first time. Freaking 604 chapters. 11+ years of waiting and we got to see the big moment.

I wanted this chapter to be longer. I wanted to know what's going on. With Zaraki's behavior right now, I can't imagine he will be explaining about his Bankai xD He also just learned about it. Maybe Byakuya/Toshiro will explain what just happened or Kubo is just going to be cheap and leave Zaraki's Bankai without some description about it.
At least justify your opinions instead of just saying "it's my opinion". It would've been more polite.
