How STRONG is Kenpachi's BANKAI? | Bleach DISCUSSION 

Oh no, those pesky ghosts have made an unexpected appearance in November! Don't worry, they'll be vacuumed up and gone by the next video. Hopefully. Anyway how strong do you think Kenpachi's Bankai is? Separate video coming on Yachiru soon!

"He can revive despite the fact that he has recieved obviously fatal wounds". Ahh, so you're saying he's a bleach character.

I think his Bankai breaking him makes a lot of sense, because I remember Ichigo's bones creaking and almost breaking from using his Bankai against Byakuya, and that wasn't even his first activation.

"His bankai is Kenpachi, but turned up to 11" Well played, very subtle.

Kenpachi is OP done right, from the eyepatch, bells, using one hand, to his bankai. Definitely a character who inspired me throughout my own writing and comic story.

There's a reason why Yamamoto stopped training Kenpachi after just 1 day. And all he did was teach Kenpachi how to swing with both hands 😂

Wait a second, did Kenpachi even use both of his hands when he went Bankai?

Kenpachi was a monster in human form. Gremmy tried to copy his power and was ripped apart because of it. Thats why Yachiru exists, shes his zanpakto sheding off just enough power so that Kenny doesnt rip himself apart until he goes bankai and sheds his flesh to become the demon for as long as his body can maintain itself

I think Gremmys death was foreshadowing of it. A "Monster" thats body cant handle its power.

Reiatsu: the higher it is the tougher your body is Kenpachi's reiatsu: so high it breaks it's own rules

The arm that was ripped off by Ken's teeth was made stronger once before so it's a much more impressive feat

Kenpachi's most interesting quality is that we will never know his true power

Man these videos have filled such a void in my life for quality bleach videos. Ever since tekking gave it up the bleach content has been lackluster and tommo came in and saved the fkin day hahaha

"How STRONG is Kenpachi's BANKAI?" Kenpachi Zaraki: *Maxing out his physical attack stats*

Let's be perfectly honest. Had his opponent not been Gerard, but someone who could actually...DIE. Kenpachi would've won in an instant.

A Vital Lesson We can learn from KENPACHI : We must always look forward to Tougher challenges in Life like Kenpachi looking for tougher opponents. Search for the question " Do I fight to get stronger or Do I get stronger to Fight ? " Have the INSTINCT to Fight, Fight through the worst challenges in your life and beating them. Learn and carry the MADNESS for your own good. DO NOT BE AFRAID. Most Importantly - Fight as if you are already DEAD.

I feel like Kenpachi is there to show there's someone naturally stronger than Ichigo with the same type of, "he just naturally had an overwhelming spirit power"

Dude can cut meteors and the vacuum of space so.....pretty strong

kenpachi was always my favorite badass

I liked this bankai. Just raw strength. No fancy 15million degree or absolute zero armor. He just cut you.

an immortal enemy: the perfect counter for Kenpachi, indeed. can keep him busy indefinitely.

It would be nice if they extended the fight in the anime so that this bankai gets more screen time. I love the design so much, such a pity it lasted for a couple of panels only.

Kenpachi Base: Strength scales to his opponent, able to cut them. Kenpachi Shikai: Strength eclipses his opponent, able to cut even concepts. Kenpachi Bankai: Strength is higher than anything else, able to even cut the manga short.

Ripping and arm off vs cutting an arm off with a sword are two complete different feats. The force needed to rip an arm off is way more then whats needed with a sharp instrument. Let alone with ur neck. I think kubo did this on purpose to show off just how much more powerful kenpachi got in bankai

I remember that Ichigo broke all his bones and got his body almost crushed by the reiatsu(spiritual pressure) of his bankai, and because of this technically lost the fight against Byakuya. Ichigos body was not used to Tensa Zangetsu at that moment.

First RU-vidr who knows his thing. Most people underrate kenpachi after that bankai but it was his power that destoryed himself, and Yachiru mentioned that she just released a part of it, so basically even at the first stage and not even it's actual power, Kenpachi's bankai is probably the strongest one so far and it can even get stronger and evolve

My idea to make Kenpachi's Bankai more interesting: make it his killing intent come to life. Like how Ichigo thought Kenpachi cut him without touching him back in Soul Society, but for real. Anyone who gets near him is harassed by an invisible Nozarashi (you can block it, but good luck blocking an invisible sword). Only people who could give him a fight can make it to him, so he doesn't have to hold back like he used to. Once someone closes in, he fights with his real sword and the invisible one, and can "overlay" the invisible sword on top of the real one to double his cutting power. The weakness is the invisible sword's on autopilot, it hurts his allies too, and if someone new comes in their radius while he's fighting up close, it'll take a break to cut them.

I didn't understand Kenpachi's bankai when I first read it. Thank you very much for this video!

Funny enough this guy spent the entire 365 eps of anime with unreleased zanpakuto

I’m interested to see how stupidly strong the Bankai is by the time of Can’t Fear Your Own World. Considering what Zaraki did to Ikomikidomoe with just his Shikai. Unohana’s successor indeed.

Idk about you guys, but whenever I see Zaraki Kenpachi's face, I burst out laughing. Idk why, but it makes me rather satisfied to see him cut things with a big smile of a maniac on his face.

I think Kenpachi's bankai is a callback to the Soul Society arc when he was running around looking with Yachiru on his shoulder, directing him. In Bankai, Kenpachi goes into a state of blind euphoria as he becomes a berserker and Yachiro directs him, guiding his rampage and controling his power output. Also, both Renji and Ichigo use their Bankai for the first time in battle like Kenpachi and both are severely punished for it. Ichigo loses his mobility as his body is being crushed by his own spiritual pressure (like a much weaker version of what happens to Kenpachi) causing him to lose to Byakuya. Until rescued by White of course. Renji meanwhile not only loses, nearly dying against Byakuya, but also gets his Bankai broken because he can't properly control his Bankai's explosive energy output.

How strong is Kenpachi's Bankai? According to his bankai, there is nothing he cannot cut as long as he uses it properly.

I think the Most Interesting part about Kenpachi's Bankai is that Kenpachi is literally more powerful than Kenpachi.

The fact the Kenpachi’s body can’t handle it says a lot If he’d ever learned to control it properly I’d put him above ichigo.

Ripping someone's arm off with your teeth vs cutting off an arm with a sword, definitely not comparable feat-wise haha. Great video as always, keep on keeping on!

Kenpachi’s zanpakto’s ability is actually to cut through anything. To separate, or sever even concepts or rules. The reason why yachiru was able to manifest as she did is because she has the ability to separate or sever herself from the rules that govern the zanpakto. His command release is “drink” implying intake. I think Nozarashi absorbs. It eats the world. It’s how he was able to nerf himself. His power was stored inside Nozarashi then she separated herself from him. And his bankai is the release of what is stored. Basically an eraser that wipes whatever it cuts. Think about it...that’s why yachiru Unohana was unable to fully heal her chest scar. That part of her soul was absorbed into Nozarashi the first time he stabbed her. And the second time it was released and erased. That’s why she couldn’t heal and died.

Logic: you can't do that Kenpachi: are you sure about that?

I think Kenpachi is not just raw power. He is very smart too. It's only highlighted subtly everywhere. Like when he fought Tousen and Komamura and 2 sub captains together, he dosent let anyone with him get involved in the fight. He says it in a cocky way 4 against 1 attack me together. It's because he loves the fight but also to keep the focus on him and save the others with him cause he senses they are weak. but when ikkaku and that beauty guy asks to join in the fight, he lets them in with no argument because he can judge by their power levels that they will win. Also in Tousens Bankai he by himself realises that when he touches his sword his sense of sight and sound can be regained. Also in the filler arc where zanpakto rebel, he enters and uses super extra amount of reishu just to show off. But he usually dosent use that much for an entrance. He sensed his ppl were in danger and shifted the focus on him and saved others. Also he gave Byakuya the ur on my radar look just by looking at him. He sensed that he is fighting with zanbakto in just a look. While fighting Noitora he says it's good that Noitora is afraid to get cut cause it means when he does he will die. That's logical thinking. He was analysing what other power set Noitora has with him. I think his Bankai is the only state where he loses all sorts of logic and thinking because he dosent seem to need any at that power level

Kenpachi is a real Beast...

bleach lives on the fans really have hung on

Urahara's Bankai looks like Retsu Yachiru Unohana. Unohana Kisuke confirmed! Or Yachiru Urahara.

If kenpachi mastered his bankai, he would yama level no doubt, but if Kon-pachi mastered his bonkai he would be stronger than ywach no doubt.

You should do a video about Yachirus disappearance in the last arc, that's one of the biggest Bleach mysteries.

Kenpachi Zaraki's Bankai is to become HellBoy

Woop woop first, love the content mate. Keep the bleach world alive :D

I think what's really cool about kenpachi is that he scares ikkaku and ikkaku never runs from a fight yet he's absolutely terrified of kenpachi to the point he hid his bankai literally because he knew he'd have to fight kenpachi and he was downright terrified.

Remember, From the case of Renji's False Bankai, this might not even *be* Kenpachi's Actual Bankai. For all we know this might be a sealed version, that is *somewhat* harmless to him, right now.

Just pure berserker demon, so dope

How strong is Kenpachi? Cuts a meteor, cuts the vacuum of space, cuts a literal God in half.

Kubo is going to find some way to get all Shinigami to go on a crazy expedition to Hell, fighting all sorts of new and past foes, but he's going to put Urahara and Kenpachi in opposite sides of that world at all times. If Urahara ever used his Bankai to constantly stitch and strengthen Kenpachi's Bankai-fied body, it would be a killer combo and defeat any new villain.

Once he learns full name and his blade extends he’s on par with captain Yom

Kenpachi full power and ichigo full power were on a total different level than everyone else. Kenpachis body couldnt Handle it at full power and Juha was so afraid of it that be destroyed it in every possible future lmao. Just obnoxious

Now imagine Bankai mastered with 2 hands style

Also, if the other Captains Bankai keeps evolving, then I’m sure Kenpatchi’s Bankai would have had more room for growth as well. Don’t think it’s a stretch to say that, technically, any Shinigami’s power potential is unlimited.

That was not a Bankai, that was a failed attempt of Bankai my friend Kenpachi has a long way to go...

Thank you 🙏🙏I been waiting for this video 😍😍

I really hope they prolong kenpachi vs vollstandig gerard, it would make that fight so much better when animated

When zaraki turns to bankai mode .. it's like undertaker flipping his eyes Death sign 😷👌

He's a wall of brute strength but I think Ichigo, Yamato, Aizen and Ichibe can hold against it

Now we by the introduction of reii and hell arc we can see the full strength of kenpachi

When they portray his bankai in the anime, i hope they give him a honorary mute from all music for about 5 to 10 seconds.

Imagine a fully in control, full powered, double handed bankai kenpachi.

10:45 Not Quite Ichigo had a similar problem when he fought Byakuya in Bankai. His body was being crushed by his own SP.

Since we got a Bankai in the first episode just for the fans. and having Kubo directly involved with the new Anime....im pretty sure we get an extended fighting scene with these 2 giants.

It isn't often that a Shinigami's body is altered when they activate their Bankai. I think that the form Kenpachi takes shows that he is closer to his zanpakuto then most others.

I just love your Background man, because i love this anime like you do

I would say central 46 and yamamoto were worried about teaching Zaraki his sword name not because of fully fearing his strength, but due to the unpredictable nature of zaraki. Zaraki kind of acts on impulse, often with little regard for those around him. I think soul society higher ups are smart to not want Kenpachi to get to a state where he is at max power with no real way to have a hold on what he does and doesn't do. I think yama would still destroy max level kenpachi though because yama is honestly too OP. If kenpachi sticks to the kido-less attacks, I doubt he'd be able to get close enough to Yama to deal a finishing blow, and even if he did, it would not be without severe repercussions. Although, if Kenpachi can truly cut time and space, then that does change things.... and Kenpachi is now too OP even for Yama.

Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :) Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.

The perfect name for his bankai is "The Butcher" Honestly, in his full power, I'd expect him to be able to cut space itself

Actually, Gerrard was in his Vollstandig form right after they got revived by Juha. His letter was activated, his vollstandig is basically the more you damage him, the stronger he becomes. (Soul king's heart) His final form and the Wings are just part of him.

Does anyone see a conection between Kenpachi Zaraki and Yachiru Kushajasi on one side, and Coyote Stark and Lilynette Gingerbuck?

Good video. I hope you get paid for all the commercials I sat thru. I know it wasn’t you. But RU-vid put me on 6 commercial but I saw your whole clip.

Kenpachi would have sliced gerard again but kenpachi was using a little too much of the small amount of power nozarashi gave him and thus his body tore apart.

I'd been waiting for this for so longgg.... LOVED IT OH EM GEE 😍

I wish Kubo would do a sequel to Bleach so we could see what strength Kenpachi could obtain with more time. I'd like to see what his bankai could do if he had the opportunity to really hone it.

I just wanna note that I love the rilakkuma & gudetama set up you have in the background 😆

In therms of physhical power and cutting through his opponents with blade, i think that Kenpachis unnamed Bankai should be no.1. But strongest Bankai? No way anything can match Zanka no Tachi (not counting Shirafude Ichimonji). If Yammato actually killed Yhwach, Quincy invasion would be over. I don't know if Schutzstaffel could beat Yamma at his full power?

Nice video as always and cant wait for the little Yachiru video no one talk about her but i'm interest i like this duo of her and Kenpachi

I enjoyed Kenpachi's bankai, but from a story-telling perspective it didn't really seem earned. I think ending his sword's arc at shikai would have been perfectly fine. Would have preferred to see Aizen's bankai.

So just a thought, since kenpachi never learned the name of his bankai I would ration a guess that what we saw was an imperfect version of his bankai. A broken and crude mess. While Kempachi has always been described as a "beast" I think his progression and growth through the series has humbled him and leveled his mind. I think the design they where going for was deffiniatly based around the Oni but the form he takes on not only curropts his body but breaks the sword as well. If he had learned the real name I believe his sword would maintain form and his body may take on a blue hue instead (based around mythological portrayal of oni)

There's a reason the head captain didn't want him training to learn his swords name... given time to train and adjust his body to its power he should be the most powerful soul reaper

Yachiru is the real question here. Admittedly, she's not a "typical" Zanpakuto spirit, as she was manifesting from the very beginning, even before Zaraki was able to use shikai - so some leniency should probably be granted. She was outside the "spiritually-sealed" room where Zaraki and Unohana had their duel (we see her with Isane), yet Nozarashi (Yachiru) was able to reveal its name to him in there. Weird red herring for her true identity, though IIRC her actual disappearance occurred shortly after that. She also showed what appeared to be a shikai ability that we didn't see Zaraki use once he'd released Nozarashi (the two "pets"/three cuts thing). We've not seen zanpakuto spirits use abilities different from their shikai/bankai abilities anywhere else in the series (unless you count Hichigo/Zangetsu's use of the wrapping, which is a little bit of a stretch since that's more of a physical move than a "power" per se). That having been said, we *don't* get a direct explanation of Nozarashi's ability. Zaraki mentions something about being able to cut anything, but that's stated more like a boast than a power explanation.

I've never heard of this dude he looks like even Hanataro could take him

Just the type of video I need after voting. I love Bankai’s. 💓

I want to theorize that Kenpachi's Bankai isn't even a complete Bankai. The fact that it has no name and his sword is broke makes me believe that there's a come complete version of his Bankai that will make him even more powerful.

The funny thing is he's never going to grow further than this coz this is basically the endgame when it comes to big fights or war, he'll go back to wearing his eyepatch and fighting with his unreleased zanpakuto

Zaraki Kenpachi is a joke! Omaeda can one shot him easily. Pretty ez.

It’s such a blessing to be able to see this animated, I thought that, if ever, it wouldn’t be till I was much much older(i’m 21 now).

Me an American.....my whole country talking about politics ,since it’s Election Day Me: watching bleach content

Kenpachi I think is the expression of "peak soul Reaper spiritual pressure". Just like Ichigo is supposed to be "peak spiritual pressure". Ichigo is an amalgamation of all 3 major "soul" races, hollow, quincy, and soul reaper. Kenpachi is I think the peak of just one. I think the point is that his bankai is the PEAK bankai. So peak even he can't take it, but the peak. Knowing the 11ths division hatred of anything but fighting, I wouldn't be surprised if it had better "side" powers than Ryujin Jakka did like resurrection of pure forms of his defeated foes dedicated to killing his enemies, but he never finds them out because it's something like "stand still and meditate to hear their voice and bring them forth"

Now that I think about it, a similar thing happened to both Renji and Ichigo. They both lost control of their Bankai momentarily. Ichigo was nearly crushed by its spiritual pressure which made his bones creak. Kenpachi suffering the same effects is actually legit

I love your videos and analysis

The hardest part of this whole thing is creating a character so that would make sense for Kenpa to activate bankai

Kenpachi destroying himself with his own Bankai isn't a new phenomenon. It's exactly what happened to Ichigo the first time Ichigo uses Bankai in battle during his fight on the hill with Byakuya. I don't remember the exact quotes but after Byakuya uses Senkei and Ichigo begins to slow down, after his hollow takes over he says something like Ichigo is unable to use his own Bankai properly and it's tearing his body apart so the hollow would show him how to use it properly.

I like consistency Kubo set up in comparing the first time Kenpachi used his Bankai and the first time Ichigo used his "Bankai" when fighting Byakuya in the SS arc. In both cases, their bodies couldn't handle the respective power and speed the transformation put out there.

The end of kenpachi is such a travesty imo. He’s simply the coolest character in the manga. It’s like Vegeta dying forever.

Kenpachi's Zanpakuto is so strong it manifested as a Soul that had it's own Zanpakuto and Shikai.

I loved the char as soon as i saw his first debut in the anime. That's all I have to say.

Since we're going to get a new arc (Hell Arc), I wonder if we'll finally see Kenpachi go all out in hell! :D
