Yachiru being a sword spirit might be planned from the start, but it seemed to me that a lot of changes were made to fit the on-going plots, whether they made sense in the end or not. Anything goes in Bleach nowadays.

Yachiru being his sword spirit is one of those things that just "feels right", even if it doesn't make sense. In fact, it's a "reveal" that makes me feel so right, I'm going to totally go with whatever Kubo wants to use to justify it, rather I'd prefer if he didn't even bother and just let us roll with it. Yachiru had her own shikai? I don't remember that, nope. :P

Yachiru might have been using the true form of his shikai just like how ichigo,renji,ect ones changed when they learned their true names or his bankai might be like her shikai

Wonder what the deal about Stark is. Feels weird in retrospect. He's an Arrancar Kenpachi. He can't release without his sidekick, he has an eyepatch.
-
Yachiru as the sword spirit is kind of like Obito being Tobi. You can certainly prove how incoherent it is in the story, or criticized that it is poor writing but you know deep down the author "planned" that twist no matter how ineffective it was.
-
And here i always hoped that despite Yachiru and all, the true spirit of the sword was the eye patch all along… To have Kenpachi talk with it would have been something to remember

So is Yachiro herself Kenpachi's bankai, forced on full released state due to his insane reiatsu? Does it mean that Kenpachi have 2 zanpakutos?

Eh….I don't know how to explain, but that is not the case.

There's a lot of things in bleach that never went anywhere.
The thing that bugs me is Barragan. Everything about him was incredibly non-standard for a hollow or arrancar. Shrugs off a chunk of his head missing, was a human skeleton instead of an anthropomorphic animal, his released form was exactly the same as his original hollow form and had one of the most overpowered abilities that was basically just DEATH. The guy was closest thing to an actual grim reaper as you could get and their was no explanation for any of it.

He was the king of hollows, and humans are animals. Done.

You gave out some labels. That didn't explain anything.

King of hollows. Bound to be different.
Shrugs off a chunk of his head missing.
Kubo being Kubo. Don't remember if death spirit's head was a stablished weak point, some hollows and arrancars come with holes in their heads with no ill effects
was a human skeleton instead of an anthropomorphic animal
Humans are animals, so is within the desing range of a hollow, just like there exist a human human fruit.
his released form was exactly the same as his original hollow form
We realy didn't see many true hollow forms, just grimjow entourage. Besides the arrancar process makes them more human, what would it do to someone already humanlike?
and had one of the most overpowered abilities that was basically just DEATH
Death gas.
The guy was closest thing to an actual grim reaper as you could get
I'm pretty sure there are better interpretations, that his powers were analizable made it just a mook rather than the actual arbiter over life and death.
and their was no explanation for any of it.
Sometimes a design is just a design.

I would love to see few pages of flashback to Zarakis fight with previous Kenpachi(the one after Unohana).
Guy was probably also a beast but perhaps that was fight/moment where Kenpachi and Yachiru split so to say.
Still previous Kenpachi had very cool design imo and few pages with him would be a sight to see for me.!
Here is Kenpachi Kiganju that was killed by Zaraki

Sources say the current Kenpachi killed him with one stroke.
Now in the Bleach world today, with our unforunate knowledge that Zaraki is pretty much unable to seriously lose…...a rendition of this scene (close-ups, empty scene, probably an attack from behind + one liner) would feel so lifeless and hollow.
But in the past Bleach, showing a quick scene of this in SS arc? It'd be amazing. Just the raw shock on the faces of witnesses.

I don't think there was any rule dictating that all Hollows had to be an anthropomorphic animal.
Heck, what animal was Yammy? Or Aaroniero? Or Luppi? Or Charlotte?

Still I would like to see that moment of Zaraki killing previous Kenpachi, even with one stroke. As moment when he had split his power without even knowing he did so.
So one auto-handicap after fight with Unohana and second after he beaten previous Kenpachi with one stroke. -
Am I missing something? I don't remember any indications that it happened then.
In fact, we were shown Yachiru approaching Zaraki as a kid, after him slaughtering a bunch of people. While wearing some rags. Zaraki had a flashback right after losing to Ichigo.
I don't think anyone considered Yachiru-Zanpakuto idea seriously before Stark and Lilinete appeared. For all we know, Kubo could have made his decision then. Can't think of Zaraki's Shikai or Bankai? Can't think of Yachiru's Shikai or Bankai? Two birds with one stone!
-
The Yachiru-Zan theory has been around forever. I thought that I was cool and original for thinking of it when I first started reading (long before Stark and Lili ever existed), but realized that it was something the fandom had been talking about ever since the Ichigo fight.

Does this means the seat for the Shinigami's Women Association's President is open?

Zaraki x Kiganju happened much after Yachiru met him. He was still a guy wandering around in Rukongai when he met Yachiru. When he defeated Kiganju, he became the new captain of the 11th division.
Also, Kiganju is not the Kenpachi who followed Unohana. He is the 10th (although, technically Zaraki is the only REAL Kenpachi since Unohana).

he might have been strong but it looks like he let himself go by getting fat and lazy like moriah from one piece who also would have been stronger if he had been in shape.
-
Would it be acceptable if Zaraki's terrible treatment of his zanpakto was redeemed by how he treated Yachiru as person? Hell, are we even sure that Zaraki's zan is really his? For all we know, he could've looted it from one of countless shinigamis he had killed. Unless it was conveniently an Asauchi all along instead of Zanpakto that was supposed to be "spiritually-bound" to its owner.
-
Don't think about it too much, you are giving it more tought than Kubo, between the original "you have to respect your sword" to the new "you have to dominate your sword" to the weird "your sword is like your asshole, don't go showing it to everyone" Kubo is too inconsistent to make sense of this whole thing.

After re-reading the Ichigo fight, this is actually what will happen most likely, unless Kubo ignores Yachiru's backstory laid out after that fight. Which honestly would be strange considering this would make a ton of sense.

It was already stated that he took his sword from a dead guy (Nimaiya said it).

@Shobu:
Condon Aizen would be more appropiate.
aizen was the only condom they had up there the reason aizen turned into his condom form was because he did not know what one was lol.
-
I just realized something, aren't Quincies technically human? So shouldn't all the dead Quincies return to the soul society as spirits ready to fight again?
I didn't read a lot of old bleach so I may be confusing something about the world. But if I'm right this seems like a big hole ignored by the story.

One of many, my friend. One of many.
Seriously though, there could be a difference based on WHERE your death occurs. If I recall correctly, to enter Soul Society or Hueco Mundo, a human has to convert themselves into a soul, so that part of the death rule may apply anyway.
-
If anything, Quinzis are now supposed to be spiritual beings/ascended quinzi souls and can no longer be referred as part of human race. When they die, they will just… disappear, I guess? In Bleach's term, "forgotten".
@.access:

Was there more explanation to that?

Yeah, he killed the guy that had it plus a bunch more so in other words he killed the guy that had the sword with his hands most likely punched him to death since he had no sword before that lol.

I'm curious: is this or Burrito betterer? I have no intention on ever reading or watching it, but its just a question.

Bleach has Heart, but burrito has Armadillo Penis and exploding rainbows.

Both are better than One Piece. Bleach excels at character design but Naruto has better backgrounds.

-

He didn't stop. He was just overwhelmed. He started regenerating his arm, then got sliced again.
-
Regarding Zaraki's Bankai so far. All I can say is I am severely disappointment.

Juha Yhwhblhach?
This along with your profile pic made me laugh.

So now we have seen everyone's bankai except for Aizens right?
Can't wait for the end of this arc when it's revealed this entire arc was an illusion made by Aizens bankai :ninja: -

Kiras bankai is said to be nauseting/disgusting by Kubo in his final interview before Quincy War went full on.
Also did Zaraki TORN OFF Geralt arm WITH TEETH??? Or am I seeing things ?

Ichigo is a tabula rasa at this point
Don Kan'onji didn't have enough screentime to become tiresome
Renji is just a hilarious ball of try hard failure
Riruka is my mortal enemy -

Hisagi and Kira are said to have Bankai.
Kubo said that if he was going to give any VC a Bankai in the last arc, Kira would probably be his choice. Yumichika being his second option (ignore he is not a VC). It doesn't mean that Kira ended up getting a Bankai for real. He didn't even brought up the possibility of Sasakibe or Hisagi getting a Bankai in that interview and we know he gave a bankai to both.
