[174] He possesses sharp intuition towards incoming danger, which allowed him to repeatedly dodge Tōsen's assault while still affected by his Bankai. Revealed to have scarred each other's bodies in the past, the captains, finally putting their long-kept contempt for each other into actions, begin their battle to the death.[117]. Kenpachi, smiling at him, stated it was not like he went easy on him; he was just lucky to escape death. Releasing his Zanpakutō, Kenpachi clashes with Gerard and manages to push him back before leaping into the air, only to be surprised when he suffers a large cut to his chest due to leaving a small nick in the blade of Hoffnung. [123] Being asked by Isane Kotetsu where Unohana is, Kenpachi answers he has killed her and confirms that he has inherited her name. Currently, he lives as a simple resident of the Soul Society, occasionally hunting Hollow for sport. He styles his spiked-hair with small bells at its tips and wears a special eyepatch on his right eye created by the Shinigami Research and Development Institute to suppress his vast amount of spiritual energy. Stating Gremmy's power is illogical, Kenpachi says he doesn't dislike illogical things and then charges, cutting away the lava and telling Yachiru to get away. However, Kenpachi, becoming frustrated with this style of fighting, lets Tōsen impale him with his sword. [196] During his battle with Gremmy, Kenpachi remained unharmed after being fired upon by dozens of firearms and having missiles thrown at him,[197] and later withstood the cold vacuum of space and having several clones of Gremmy self-destruct at point-blank range with only moderate injuries. He later appears to save Ichigo from the Cero Espada Yammy by cutting off one of his legs, and further engaging him in combat with Byakuya Kuchiki. Yammy, screaming in pain, holding his injured hand, notices Kenpachi on his arm, which he runs up to strike at his head. He was voiced by YouTube voice actor CDawgVA. [93][94] While slightly outmatched at first, Kenpachi finds great delight in this, comparing it to the time he faced Ichigo. Most notably, after recovering from the injuries inflicted by Pernida Parnkgjas, Kenpachi managed to instantly appear in another part of the Wahrwelt city and attack Gerard Valkyrie before the Sternritter could even defend himself, with Ikkaku and Yumichika shocked that Kenpachi arrived before they did. [51] Later, Yumichika tells Kenpachi the result of his battle. This battle finally showed what he’s capable of and while the animation weren’t that good, the fight showed us what Kenpachi is truly capable of. His lieutenant is Yachiru Kusajishi. Before the Shinigami can act, the Reigai, stepping forward, say they will stop their fellow Mod-Soul's chaotic plan, as their goal has always been to protect the Soul Society in their own way. During the fight, as Yachiru reveals her true identity and sacrifices herself to awaken his full power, Zaraki manifests his Zanpakutō's Bankai form to overwhelm the Sternritter before his body begins to suffer from the strain caused by using the Bankai. As the Zanpakutō launch an all out attack, just as the Shinigami are losing ground, Kenpachi makes a dramatic appearance. However, he fights off Tōsen with the sense of touch, as he can feel when the blade makes contact with his body. Kenpachi Zaraki (更木 剣八, Zaraki Kenpachi) is a fictional character of support in the anime and manga series Bleach created by Tite Kubo. When Byakuya states he did not know Kenpachi, at his level, could actually kill people, Kenpachi tells him to try him, and before the two can engage in combat, Gin, stopping Kenpachi, ties him up and drags him away. Kenpachi grabs the Zanpakutō spirit Ashisogi Jizō shortly before it self-destructs. Kenpachi Zaraki is the most openly battle happy captain of the Gotei 13. [2], After killing Unohana and finally learning the name of his Zanpakutō, though he retains his desire to battle and is not overly interested in the details,[19] Kenpachi became somewhat calmer and more focused. - Emperor-Lord Sigma Kenpachi Zaraki (更木 剣八, Zaraki Kenpachi) is the current captain of the 11th Division in the Gotei 13. On the one hand, Kenpachi wishes to increase his own personal power. Nnoitra, cutting Kenpachi on his left shoulder, laughs, telling him his Hierro is unsurpassed by any current and former Espada. Maki, tricking Kenpachi, traps him within his Saigyoku Nijigasumi ability, but Kenpachi, briefly removing his eyepatch, breaks through it, and congratulates Maki for forcing him into removing his eyepatch, despite having done so for just a second. Kenpachi is a tall, muscular Shinigami with a wild and aggressive appearance, which fits his personality. Despite his tendency to be brutal, Kenpachi usually stops a fight if his opponent is too injured to fight back, claiming he is not interested in fighting "weaklings who can't fight anymore", and he does not feel obligated to deal a death blow to anyone who cannot fight any longer. He just slashes the shit out of whatever gets in his way, which we highly recommend against doing. In the third movie, he fought an altered Mayuri Kurotsuchi and was consumed by white substance that immobilized him for much of the movie. His former lieutenant, and best friend was Yachiru Kusajishi. He has a minor role in the second Bleach OVA, where he vacations in the Human World with Yachiru. He has a long face with pronounced cheekbones, and pronounced, hairless brow ridges. Eventually, Kenpachi cuts Nnoitra, and, fighting fiercer than before, cuts him again, this time cutting off a part of Nnoitra's Zanpakutō. After this, Kenpachi allowed them to participate in his fights. [119], As the fight continues, Kenpachi is continually injured and knocked out. The 11th division is filled with warriors but none of them puts fears in enemies as close as much as their captain. Though at first he was against it, Kenpachi was persuaded upon realizing the two had similar fighting traits, and, as such, would like to fight by his side. The two begin slashing each other up, delighting in the intense fight. Unfortunately for Nnoitra during the ensuing fight Zaraki's eye-patch, which is a special seal that strongly 'consumes' his Spirit Pressure (this way battles will last longer allowing him to have more fun,) is cut off allowing Zaraki to fight at full power. [11], On multiple occasions, Kenpachi has shown great respect to those who can defeat him in a fight and those who can push him to his limit. A noticeable trait in his appearance is a long, thin scar running down the left side of his face and across his left eye, inflicted on him by Retsu Unohana while he was still a child. However, in order to save him, Mayuri stabs Kenpachi through the chest with Ashisogi Jizō before using Fear Factor 4, causing Kenpachi to collapse. Zaraki lives for battle (evidenced by his method of attaining his rank) and enjoys a good fight more than anything. [165], Specialized Combatant: Kenpachi did not attend the Shin'ō Academy, and has no apparent skill (or interest) in Kidō and Shunpo. He has a very poor sense of direction, at times asking Yachiru for help (even though her sense of direction is just as bad). [97] Eventually, Kenpachi and the other captains are forced to retreat. Later, in Hueco Mundo, Zaraki comes to Ichigo's aid during his battle with the Arrancar Tesla, dealing the Arrancar a mortal blow with a single strike and then engaging the Espada Nnoitra in battle. Kenpachi easily blocks Maki Ichinose's attack. Before he can do anything, Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi, arriving, causes his Zanpakutō to self-destruct. Kenpachi, grabbing Nnoitra, slams him into the ground, prompting Nnoitra, reveal his two hidden arms, to stab Kenpachi in the chest. [111], Later, Rin Tsubokura, via transmitter swords, informs Kenpachi, along with the other captains and lieutenants, Ichigo is currently heading to Soul Society. Eventually, Kenpachi, growing bored of chasing after him, sits down. As per the 3rd Captain Qualification Trial, Kenpachi became the new captain of that division. When Inaba releases the full power of the Reigai and more of the Reigai appear, Kenpachi states it is becoming interesting. Despite its appearance, Nozarashi can easily cut through most objects: with it, Kenpachi stabs straight through Ichigo's Zanpakutō, and later slices a building in half with no apparent effort after releasing his full power. During his battle against Yammy, while Kenpachi was focusing his attention on Ichigo, Yammy delivered a powerful blow with his massive fist, launching Kenpachi several meters and smashing him into a large pillar. Their disharmony left Nozarashi with little spiritual energy and became easier to damage; it is a chipped and seemingly worn-down blade upon its edge. Zaraki manages to single-handedly kill Berenice Gabrielli, Jerome Quizbatt, and Loyd Lloyd without much difficulty. As Kenpachi realizes he might be about to die without ever have defeating her, Unohana pierces him through the throat. [137] Kenpachi then watches as Ukitake uses the power of Mimihagi to replace the Soul King. Continued defeat by Yachiru Kenpachi left Zaraki craving the title and instilled a constant need for battle and a worthy opponent. Kenpachi fought Gremmy who was a quincy with the power of imagination. He subconsciously sealed his power to allow them to fight longer and consequently lost to her. [114], Soon after, Kenpachi is easily defeated by Yhwach, who holds up the bloodied captain by his throat. They, both releasing their spiritual pressure, run at each other to make a final strike, releasing enough spiritual pressure to collapse all the buildings around them. [188][189], Enhanced Speed: Prior to learning how to perform basic Shunpo, Kenpachi displayed deceptively fast physical speed for his size and build. When Kenpachi asks how Ikkaku did, Ikkaku says he lectured him for a bit and took off. [74] When Ichigo hears from Aizen he plans to destroy Karakura Town, he proceeds to run off. The fight was the first time he felt fear, and subsequently the first fight he ever enjoyed, having been bored slashing anything else. [22] During that time, he eventually became proficient in swordsmanship, and killed numerous opponents. [69], After Kenpachi explains the nature of his eye patch, Nnoitra, in a rage, releases.
