Honestly Kenpachi is probably the most legitimately terrifying captain to fight imagine being faced with that deranged laughter which only intensifies every time you land a hit
6:36 why is this missing my favorite kenpachi VA line 😢 "I never swing my seord with my full strength. Do you see why? If I didn't do that, my enemies are so weak, the battle wouldn't last long enough for me to enjoy it" so gravelly, is this Bleach Kai or something lol
When hanataro and ganju fell and Ichigo was like “what’s wrong” and ganju told him what was exactly wrong kinda shows why kenpachi was after Ichigo. He’s strong. Ichigo didn’t realize
Trust your sword is just a metaphor for don't doubt yourself. Ichigo fought one the strongest captains and barely made it out alive because: 1) He questioned himself at first. This is what Kenpachi was trying to tell him. Just fight. 2) He trusted his sword 3) Kenpachi wanted to see him get stronger so he can fight him again. Bottom line. Kenny let him win.
Kenpachi: Are you Ichigo Kurosaki? Ichigo: How did you know my name? And who are you anyway? Kenpachi: I’m Captain of Squad 11 Kenpachi Zaraki. I’m here to fight you to the death.
What if Ichigo only cut Kenpachi… not because he ‘tried harder’, but because Zaraki actually made himself weaker subconsciously (fits with manga / TYBW)…
Playing lose with the word “extinct” given how he was aware of Uryuu’s family in town for the last 15 years, of course he could’ve meant it in general to purposely not reveal important stuff.
