How tall is zaraki kenpachi

His height is almost twice the size of his lieutenant, Yachiru. Yachiru was found by Kenpachi when she was still a baby. He was the one to call her Yachiru and he was also the one to call himself Kenpachi which meant the strongest swordsman.

Kenpachi became a captain because he defeated and killed the old captain of the 11th division in a duel by having too much fun fighting him. He is the most bloodthirsty in the Gotei His division, the 11th, is the strongest out of the His eyepatch's design has changed again, as it is now, but a single piece covering his right eye.

Although he is known to be a violent fighter, Kenpachi's actions tend to be for the best. He has a very poor sense of direction, at times asking Yachiru for help even though her sense of direction is just as bad. Kenpachi lives for battle, and enjoys a good fight more than anything. He even holds back in an effort to make any fight last longer. He claims injury and death are nothing but the price one pays for a good fight. Despite his division being the most blood-thirsty squad of the Gotei 13, the 11th Division has its own code of ethics, which is different from the rules and regulation of Soul Society.

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. On multiple occasions, Kenpachi has shown to greatly respect those who can defeat him in a fight and those who can push him to his limit.

Ever since Ichigo handed him his first known loss though Ichigo considers their fight a loss for him , Kenpachi has considered the latter a member of his Division. He expresses his willingness to engage him in a rematch every time they meet, only to be turned down, as Ichigo already considers themselves as friends. Nevertheless, Kenpachi still challenges him to a duel, as evidenced when he aided Ichigo in his fight against the Bount where he gave "his blessing," stating doing so would make Ichigo stronger for "their anticipated fight".

Kenpachi sometimes contradicts his own logic in fighting. On the one hand, Kenpachi wishes to increase his own personal power. On the other hand, he conceals his strength to enjoy a fight for as long as possible. Although he thrives for battle, Kenpachi does have emotions. Kenpachi and his lieutenant, Yachiru, have been close ever since they met, and have a father-daughter-like relationship, making Yachiru one of the few people he cares for, along with 11th Division 3rd Seat Ikkaku Madarame and 11th Division 5th Seat Yumichika Ayasegawa.

However, he has stated if his subordinates interfere in his fights, he will "cut them up first". Aside from Yachiru, Kenpachi deeply gives meaning to his name. Following his fight with Ichigo Kurosaki , Kenpachi talks about the pain of not having a name, as he lived his early years without one.

This causes him to feel guilty his sword is not acknowledged by its own name. Kenpachi strongly believes fun comes before working. In every battle, he tries to get as much enjoyment out of it as possible. One example is when Kenpachi sends his 5th seated officer, Yumichika, to fend off the Bount in Karakura Town , as he is the only high-ranking officer who is not busy, or rather, busy having fun, as Yachiru was snacking and Ikkaku was napping.

During his free time, Kenpachi always takes his afternoon nap. Kenpachi's unique hairstyle is partly due to his habit of taking a bath everyday before going to sleep, which is a necessity to him due to his strong perspiration. During these baths, he usually washes his hair with soap, making it stiff.

He enjoys doing so because it is easy for him to set his hair to his preferred style. Since then, Kenpachi has greatly disliked the lieutenant.

The highest bell in particular takes him several hours to attach, as the tip of his hair is just beyond his reach. Occasionally, 11th Division 5th Seat Yumichika Ayasegawa offers to do it for him, only to be turned down by Kenpachi, who thinks it is weird for someone else to style his hair. Kenpachi's surname came from the district he once resided in, Zaraki, which was District 80 of the North Alley of Rukongai. District 80 was the worst, most lawless region of Rukongai, full of thieves and murderers whereas area 1 was the most orderly and law-abiding.

While residing in District 80, Kenpachi was nameless. Sometime during this, he, coming upon Yachiru Unohana , fought with her. The fight was the first time he felt fear, and subsequently the first fight he ever enjoyed, having been bored slashing anything else. He subconsciously sealed his power to allow them to fight longer and consequently lost to her.

After their fight, he began to admire her, and wanted to fight like her. Sometime later, as a young man, Kenpachi, coming upon a young girl, named her Yachiru, in remembrance of the only person he ever admired, after she showed no fear of his sword.

Yachiru came from District Kusajishi, where her parents were murdered, seemingly not too long before Kenpachi arrived.

On that day, he took on a name: Kenpachi, the title bestowed upon the strongest Shinigami in every generation, the one who has slain the most enemies and won the most battles. Kenpachi and Yachiru Kusajishi before joining the Gotei Later, he had an encounter with Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa before they entered Seireitei.

Yachiru warned Ikkaku messing with Kenpachi while he was in a good mood was a bad idea, though Ikkaku did not take the warning seriously. When Kenpachi and Ikkaku meet face to face, the latter immediately became alarmed by the former's Reiatsu, but was happy to finally have a real challenge.

Kenpachi attacked with enough force to create a crater in the ground under Ikkaku, which somewhat alarmed Yumichika. Due to Kenpachi's strength, Ikkaku was forced on the defensive, holding off Kenpachi's relentless strikes. As the two continued to fight, Ikkaku tried to overwhelm Kenpachi, though he failed in doing so, only succeeding in increasing his own wounds while his opponent remaining untouched by his blade.

While Kenpachi mentioned he was having fun, he decided to finish Ikkaku with one quick strike, resulting in his loss of the fight. Kenpachi, plainly telling him he had no interest in weaklings who could not fight, noted he did not have any obligation to finish Ikkaku off. Ikkaku, thinking he was toying with him, demanded Kenpachi kill him.

Kenpachi, losing his patience, grabbed hold of Ikkaku and asked why he was screaming for death if he loved to fight so much. Kenpachi explained to him a philosophy to follow for people like them: " Don't admit defeat and seek death.

Die first, then admit defeat. When you lose, but don't die, it just means you were lucky. At those times, think only about survival. Survive, and think only about killing the guy who failed to kill you ". Kenpachi, smiling at him, stated it was not like he went easy on him; he was just lucky to escape death. He said Ikkaku should live, come back, and try to kill him again. As Kenpachi went to leave, Ikkaku, asking him his name, is told he is Kenpachi from Zaraki.

As per the 3rd Captain Qualification Trial, Kenpachi became the new captain of that division. Kenpachi during his first days as the 11th Division captain. The following day, during Kenpachi's first addressing of his division, he was greeted by Ikkaku and Yumichika, who had already become Shinigami and joined the division. Ikkaku told Kenpachi he had come back just as he suggested, causing Kenpachi to smile.

Later, they were present at the battle of the division against a caterpillar Hollow. While initially the division lost, Ikkaku showed up to fight it, but was stopped by Kenpachi, who decided to kill it himself.

After the Hollow was dispatched, more came, prompting Ikkaku and Yumichika to join in the fight. 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.

After this, Kenpachi allowed them to participate in his fights. Central 46 ordered Yamamoto to stop the training after one day, as they became concerned that if Zaraki realized his full potential and rebelled, he could become an unstoppable force. Kenpachi and Gin Ichimaru both tease Byakuya Kuchiki about his sister Rukia Kuchiki being sentenced to death, saying he is depressed, as a noble family would not stand to have a criminal as a member.

Byakuya, retaliating, says lower-class people do not understand the feelings of nobles. Kenpachi, admitting he does not really, says he is very bright, and since he is so bright, Byakuya should allow him to finish Rukia off before she is executed. 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. After Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends arrive in Soul Society, Kenpachi tells Ichimaru a captain should have no problem killing a Ryoka.

When Kenpachi asks Yamamoto where the Ryoka are heading, an invasion alarm goes off, and Kenpachi runs out of the captains meeting. He begins to hunt the strongest Ryoka, but his lieutenant, Yachiru Kusajishi , guides him in the wrong direction for some time. Once Mayuri leaves, Ikkaku tells Kenpachi the Ryoka Ichigo is getting stronger, and is aware of the captain. After a while, he, figuring out where Ichigo is heading, waits there for him to arrive.

As he tries to discern who among the three is the strongest, he finally realizes it is Ichigo. Introducing himself, he tells Ichigo he has come to kill him.

Kenpachi is determined to fight Ichigo no matter what the issue may be, showing himself to be unconcerned with his friends or Rukia's fate. Kenpachi, acknowledging he understands why Ikkaku lost to him, notes Ichigo is still weaker than him, so he decides to give Ichigo a fighting chance.

Kenpachi, baring his chest, tells Ichigo to cut him anywhere and not hold back. When Ichigo refuses to attack an unarmed opponent, Kenpachi, while commending him, states it is simply a handicap, and while he appreciates the thought, Ichigo should save his sympathy for someone else. Kenpachi tells him to either kill or be killed.

When Ichigo's hand starts to bleed, Kenpachi, asking him why he is surprised his sword cannot cut him, pushes Ichigo back, using his arm against his blade. Kenpachi, explaining why Ichigo's sword cannot scratch him, takes out his own sword and tells Ichigo he should try, at the very least, to place a dent upon his sword.

Eventually, Kenpachi, growing bored of chasing after him, sits down. When Ichigo confronts him, he, finally seeming happy, asks if Ichigo is preparing to die or if he is surrendering. Ichigo refuses to do either and, attacking, finally succeeds in injuring Kenpachi. The two clash and the battle continues, with Kenpachi, while having the upper hand, happy to see Ichigo improving. Kenpachi tells Ichigo he warned him not to relax his spiritual pressure, and it has become weak because he saw a chance to win.

He, frustrated the battle was so easy and is now over, retracts his sword. Ichigo, attacking Kenpachi, surprising him further, deals him a serious injury to the left side from his shoulder down the side of his torso. Kenpachi, deflecting Ichigo's next attack, stabs his sword into a nearby building. Kenpachi, beginning to laugh, becoming extremely excited, says now the fight is just getting started, noting they should drag out the fight. He, lunging at Ichigo, lets his face get cut by the blade just to get close to Ichigo.

As the battle escalates even more, Kenpachi, despite his injuries, continues to fight, teaching Ichigo the drive behind his personality. Kenpachi, realizing both he and Ichigo are evenly matched, enjoying the feeling and euphoria of the moment, takes off his eyepatch, noting he considers Ichigo a worthy opponent, so it only makes sense to fight him at full power.

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.

The battle ends in a draw, with Ichigo falling first and Kenpachi shortly after, both admitting defeat. He, raising his sword, acknowledges he ignored it for a long time and wants it to communicate with it. Kenpachi, not hearing it speak, faints, which scares Yachiru.

Kenpachi tells his subordinates to go ahead without him, but Ikkaku and Yumichika stay behind, eager to fight as well. Though reluctant, Kenpachi accepts their help, and they fight against Hisagi and Tetsuzaemon elsewhere. Kenpachi, revealing he never cared what Komamura looked like though he was curious , proceeds to fight against him once he releases his Bankai.

Kenpachi, in turn, tells him Komamura ran off. Kenpachi, surprised to see Yumichika with no signs of injury after fighting against Hisagi, begins to question him, but, much to his annoyance, Yumichika begins to talk about beauty. A week after the incident with Aizen, Kenpachi finds Ichigo training with Ikkaku on his division's grounds. Seeing his wounds healed completely, Kenpachi tries to fight him again, but Ichigo runs off, and Kenpachi cannot find him. Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material.

When Kenpachi and his squad feel the presence of an old member of the 11th Division, Maki Ichinose , he tells everyone to ignore him. He attends a meeting, called by Mayuri, in regard to the missing data from his division's archives. Kenpachi tells Yachiru he is aware of this because it could be Maki who is responsible for the deed. Kenpachi helps fight off the Bount Invasion in Soul Society.

At first, he refuses to help, but after hearing the 10th Division spotted Maki, he sets off to find him, arriving in time to stop him from attacking Chad. As Kenpachi fights Maki, he is generally unimpressed by the former officer's strength. 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.

Maki, realizing the battle has turned against him, attacks Kenpachi frantically, asking why he has so much power yet has no just reason in using it. Kenpachi, silencing him, tells him he should fight on his own accord instead of being dependent on others. After Maki realizes the meaning of Kenpachi's words, the two charge at each other with full power, and Kenpachi, claiming victory, greatly wounds Maki, breaking the latter's sword in the process.

The fight with Maki having ended, Kenpachi, taking Yachiru, heads back towards the Seireitei. When Yamamoto calls him and the other captains for an emergency meeting, Kenpachi complains. Kenpachi appears to Ichigo as his instinct and desire to win, explaining to him they are both the type of people who lived to fight battle after battle.

The idea was initially unpopular among most other captains, particularly Kenpachi, who did not believe he should be concerned with other divisions' problems. Kenpachi finds Rukia, who tells him to keep the incident a secret, however, he does not even know what is going on.

Kenpachi comes to Ichigo's aid as he blocks an attack by the Arrancar Tesra Lindocruz. As the Arrancar tries to attack again, Kenpachi deals a fatal slash wound down his chest. Finished with Tesra, Kenpachi looks to Nnoitra Gilga to be his next opponent.

Breaking through a nearby wall, he expresses his disappointment to find that Gremmy Thoumeaux is the one causing trouble. Gremmy raises the ground, thus setting up a stage for their battle. After Gremmy reveals his epithet Kenpachi charges at him, but his blade is stopped. Hearing Gremmy explain how he can stop it by imagining his skin is resistant enough, Kenpachi proceeds to cut him and declare he can cut through anything Gremmy can imagine. Kenpachi begins his fight with Gremmy Thoumeaux.

As Kenpachi notes the noise made by his subordinates, Gremmy reveals he's healed and then begins attacking Kenpachi through imagining lava. 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. After hearing Gremmy revealing what Yachiru's bones are now made of, Kenpachi asks what a cookie is and, hearing the answer, again attacks.

Kenpachi is surrounded by water and falls down a fissure in the ground which then closes. He breaks free and, carrying Yachiru, again tries to cut Gremmy, but he is blocked. Noting that Gremmy's power doesn't seem to work on Yachiru anymore, Kenpachi speculates that it is because he shifted his attention away from her.

After cutting through the beam blocking his sword, [] Kenpachi tells Yachiru to have Isane heal her arm. As Yachiru gleefully scurries down the side of the structure, Gremmy notes Kenpachi figured out how to disable his power. Confirming this, Kenpachi asks Gremmy if he wants to fight and reminds him of his claim of being the strongest Quincy. Kenpachi reasons that Gremmy would want to destroy the strongest fighter out there because of this status before proclaiming this will not be a fight if Gremmy is distracted so easily by things that aren't Kenpachi.

As Kenpachi lunges forward, Gremmy surrounds him with dozens of rectangular columns, which he easily cuts through. Eventually, a joyous Gremmy creates several dozen sub-machine guns around himself and has all of them fire at Kenpachi, who emerges with only minor injuries and notes his sword is finally beginning to enjoy himself. Kenpachi continues to attack Gremmy, each time taking advantage of Gremmy's lack of reaction to slash him again and again while cutting through his constructs as well.

After slashing Gremmy in several areas, a confused Kenpachi asks him if he is imagining his own death. Healing his wounds, Gremmy thanks Kenpachi for pointing this out to him and state he will reveal his strongest technique before creating a clone of himself. When Kenpachi attacks the clone, Gremmy reveals they will not die and points out a huge meteorite hurtling toward the Seireitei. As Gremmy proclaims this attack will obliterate Kenpachi and the entire Seireitei, Kenpachi tells his sword that it is great to find something he has not slashed yet and refers to it as Nozarashi.

When Gremmy explains to him that he cannot destroy the meteorite because it is already in existence, Kenpachi claims that Gremmy is the one who cannot do anything and leaps toward the meteorite. Releasing the true form of Nozarashi , Kenpachi destroys the meteorite, causing chunks to rain down around him as he stands with his Shikai. Gremmy calls him a monster for being able to destroy a meteorite with a single attack, prompting Kenpachi to state he can simply cut through anything.

Surrounding Kenpachi with more clones of himself, Gremmy proclaims this means he will simply have to kill Kenpachi with something that has no form and encloses him in a large pocket of space. Kenpachi begins to spew liquid from his mouth and eye and screams in pain as Gremmy explains how he will die a slow and painful death in the vacuum of space, but he bifurcates one of Gremmy's clones, cutting himself out of the void in the process. As the other clones grab onto him, Kenpachi is engulfed in an enormous explosion, which he survives with a moderately burned and scratched body.

Noting this as proof of Kenpachi's monstrosity, Gremmy proclaims he shall simply become stronger than Kenpachi and rushes toward him as his veins pop out, only for his body to begin tearing itself apart in midair due to his muscles and tendons growing too quickly for it to contain.

As Gremmy falls to the ground below, Kenpachi criticizes him for imagining Kenpachi to be a monster and losing because of it. Heavily injured, Kenpachi approaches the defeated Sternritter. Hearing Gremmy's explanation of his own loss and his real body, a surprised Kenpachi watches as the Quincy dissolves and perishes.

After the stage collapses, Kenpachi calls out to Yachiru and notices her empty clothes on the ground. When his subordinates arrive, he orders them to search for her. He is soon surprised when the low-ranking 11th division members are struck by thunder. As the four Sternritter slaughter dozens of 11th Division members around him and wonder how they should kill him, Kenpachi notes he cannot move and wonders if this is the end as an explosion occurs overhead.

When Ukitake claims that he will not be able to move for a while, Kenpachi emerges from the medical room while asking him whom he is referring to, prompting Ukitake to express surprise. Kenpachi asks Urahara where Yachiru is, and upon learning that his division is currently looking for her, he attempts to leave despite Urahara asking him to stay. After a minute or two, Kenpachi admits that she is right and backs off, prompting Urahara to give him a sphere to charge with his Reiatsu.

Later, Kenpachi asks Urahara if charging the spheres will make them fly, prompting Urahara to explain how they will be creating doors to the Soul King Palace. When Urahara admits that there may not be a way back, Kenpachi states that he is only interested in killing the Wandenreich members currently in the palace. Kenpachi's arm is mangled by Pernida Parnkgjas. As the Seireitei starts falling apart, Kenpachi is shocked by Urahara's statement that the Soul King must have died.

Kenpachi decides to kill it and slashes it across the head, which draws blood despite it slashing his arm in return. However, Pernida starts growing, much to his shock.

After expressing surprise that Mayuri finds Pernida creepy, Kenpachi notices his arm being warped even further and immediately rips it off to prevent the rest of his body from being damaged, prompting Mayuri to commend him for doing so. As Nemu tends to his wound, Kenpachi wonders how he can attack Pernida without getting close before rushing forward and slashing partway through Pernida, only to have his legs warped. After Pernida is killed, Ikkaku and Yumichika place Kenpachi in one of Mayuri's capsules to rehabilitate.

When Gerard stomps on them, Kenpachi merely grabs his foot and throws him back before attacking him once more, prompting Gerard to repel him with a blow from his shield before drawing his own sword, Hoffnung. As blood spurts from his wound, Kenpachi wonders what just happened, prompting Gerard to claim that The Miracle gives form to the desires and emotions of the masses, which is what increased his size and made Hoffnung unbreakable.

Kenpachi ridicules Gerard for acting like a cliched villain, only for Gerard to ridicule him in turn for not yet having realized the gap between them.

As a stunned Hitsugaya states that the two seemed made for each other as opponents, Kenpachi and Gerard begin clashing, with the two of them complimenting each other's speed and reflexes. Hitsugaya attempts to intervene, but Kenpachi smashes him to the ground below and tells him to stay out of this, with Byakuya agreeing, prompting Hitsugaya to point out how Kenpachi considers Gerard enough of a threat to have already taken off his eyepatch. As Kenpachi and Gerard continue clashing, with Kenpachi slowly but surely being overwhelmed, Gerard points out the waning power behind his strikes before smashing him into the ground.

Suddenly, Yachiru appears before Kenpachi and tells him that the fun has only just started. As energy begins flowing down Kenpachi's arm from where she touched him, Yachiru notes that Kenpachi would be able to cut down anyone if he used her properly before revealing this is the power known as Bankai.

A massive wave of energy erupts outward from Kenpachi, startling Byakuya, Hitsugaya, and Gerard, before clearing to reveal that he has gained red skin and a differently shaped sword.

Disappointed by Kenpachi's Bankai, Gerard attempts to punch him, who responds by biting down on Gerard's knuckle and rip the whole arm off. Gerard reminds Kenpachi that cutting off his arms will accomplish nothing, but Kenpachi merely leaps into the air before slashing at Gerard, who has his left forearm cut off along with half of his shield when he attempts to block the strike.

Kenpachi punches Gerard in the chin, sending him flying back off the edge of Wahrwelt as he wonders what this power is. Kenpachi attempts to resume his battle, but his right arm suddenly shatters and breaks as Yachiru notes that she released more of his power than his body could handle, prompting Gerard to slash Kenpachi into the ground.

Kenpachi survives the battle and ten years after the defeat of Yhwach , with Yachiru now gone, he heads to the promotion ceremony of the new 13th Division captain with his lieutenant, Ikkaku, and Yumichika, who disputes the assertion that the event is at the 13th Division's barracks.

Kenpachi insists that Yachiru was responsible for his bad sense of direction and heads there anyway. Kenpachi and the other captains notice Jigoku no Rinki around Ukitake's grave.

In addition to reducing his depth perception and range of vision, [] it also seals the bulk of his Reiryoku. He wears this because he loves fighting so much that he cannot fight most opponents at full strength and enjoy it, as he would defeat them too quickly, to which he is still at least on par with most opponents while wearing it. Reiatsu Bells : In order to further give the enemy an advantage, Kenpachi wears bells on each spike of his hair. These bells can only be heard by enemies whose Reiatsu is concentrated to the point where it can actually defeat Kenpachi.

Kenpachi's Battle Data, clockwise. Master Swordsman : Due to the lawlessness of the Zaraki district, Kenpachi's skill with his sword has been honed to essentially a masterful level, letting him strike multiple times with changes of attack type from slash to pierce without any difficulty. While still a child, his prowess was great enough to single-handedly kill hundreds of adult fighters and wound Retsu Unohana, the 1st Kenpachi, in battle.

Expert Hand-to-Hand Combatant : While preferring to use his blade in battle, Kenpachi has proven several times to be very dangerous while barehanded, showing considerably effective brawling prowess. He can easily catch an opponent's attack with a single hand, perform powerful punches and kicks, and easily subdue opponents with throws and take-downs. He has so much that even while wearing his energy-sealing eyepatch, his prowess is not noticeably hindered as he is still able to fight two captain-level opponents at once who were both using their Bankai.

These traits easily making him one of the strongest Shinigami in the Gotei Highly Perceptive Combatant : Despite his seeming disregard for any strategy and his self-admitted aversion to thinking, Kenpachi has regularly displayed more understanding than one would expect.

Even Byakuya was impressed by Kenpachi's ability to understand things he has no personal experience with. While claiming not to have any common sense, Kenpachi can still theorize, as he deduced that Gremmy Thoumeaux's The Visionary only works on one target at a time and all effects on a previous target will disappear. Kenpachi displays his massive strength by holding back a stomp from an enormous Gerard Valkyrie.

Supernatural Strength : Kenpachi possesses a very large degree of physical strength, most commonly displayed by his ability to push back his opponent's attacks with a single arm, even if the opponent's weapons and attacks are gigantic in size.

Shunpo Practitioner : Though Kenpachi originally possessed no known skill in Shunpo, after his training with Retsu Unohana he developed it to some degree. 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.

Enhanced Speed : Prior to learning how to perform basic Shunpo , Kenpachi displayed deceptively fast physical speed for his size and build. Thanks to the tremendous raw strength in his legs, Kenpachi's natural acceleration more than made up for his lack of Shunpo, allowing him to move fast enough to instantly close a huge gap of space between him and his opponent, [] and even seemingly disappear from sight.

In battle, he can strike with incredible speed in rapid succession, making it highly difficult for his opponents to find an opening and counterattack. During his short battle with Byakuya, Kenpachi manages to keep up with his opponent's incredibly fast Shunpo, a feat which shocked and impressed Byakuya.

Supernatural Endurance : His physical prowess is equally shown by his resilience. Kenpachi often ignores most of the injuries he sustains in battle, not suffering any debilitation despite having multiple slash wounds in his body and rarely any signs of pain much like a berserker. During his battle with Nnoitra, he suffered numerous slash wounds, even impaled and almost beheaded with no visual impairment of his fighting performance; Nnoitra noting most people would have already been dead by then.

Supernatural Durability : As resilient as Kenpachi is, he is just as hard to damage. 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.

Despite the impact, Kenpachi quickly emerged unfazed, claiming it was only a "decent punch" but was still unimpressed. Nozarashi redirects here. The hilt is white, though most of it is wrapped in bandages, as is his sword's sheath.

Zangetsu noted Kenpachi's disharmony with his sword caused the two to damage each other's powers; consequently, Kenpachi could not hear the cry of his sword. 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.
