not sure if real or not but “kubo's comments about novel kenpachi”。。 credit to aho at narutoforums。。
according to kubo, when he draw bleach, he leaves few secrets in the manga that he expect few readers to notice.
there are total 4 levels of secrets
first level is the easiest, he expected every reader to be able to notice it
the second level is a bit harder, about 1 in 4 people to 1 in 10 people can notice it
the third level is even harder, probably only 1 in a thousand can see though it
! first, English isn't my(aho)first language, so it may be hard for you guys to understand what i write. sorry
! now, on to the topic. apparently kubo has written a comment in the end of the novel regarding the huge power up zaraki received, and according to him, it's ALL CANON
! first part of the comment are just to thank the readers for buying the book and Narita for writing the novel
! however it's starting to get ridiculous afterward, so buckle your seat belt
! according to kubo, when he draw bleach, he leaves few secrets in the manga that he expect few readers to notice.

! now, to the last level, which according to kubo, is something he put in from the beginning and something he intend to reveal in the grand finale of the manga, something he thought no one would be able to decipher
and that is… ZARAKI's TRUE POWER LEVEL
! when kubo read the ending part of the novel(the climax of the battle between zaraki and that 8th kenpachi), he said he was so shocked that Narita actually understood his bleach to the core and saw through zaraki's true potential
apparently he was so excited and happy that he read that part over and over again...
! so, yeah, kubo was planning to reveal zaraki as uber powerful at the end of the manga, but somehow this Narita guy spoiled us...
! if you ask me, kubo must have been on crack when he wrote this...
! few other things regarding zaraki's power that was described in the novel
! apparently Zaraki has always been this powerful, but his special ability (or should i say handicap) is to automatically adjust his power level to his opponents, so he'll enjoy the fight longer.
! there are only two person aizen didn't want to face before acquiring immortal body from break sphere, one was yama, so he create wonderwise so specifically counter him, the other one is zaraki, so aizen lured him to hueno mueno by kidnapping orihime.
! just like fillerpachi, zaraki's riatsu severs as a defensive armor that protect him from all sorts of hax
! acording to aizen, when zaraki's fighting shien(the enhanced version of sayza appolo, the one with same amount of riatsu as h2 ichigo), zaraki's strength at the moment is so strong that he could easily blow away baragan's respia and stark's wolves. (and since zaraki's riatsu=shien's riatsu=h2 ichigo's riatsu at this moment, i suppose h2 ichigo can also do this. maybe that's a confirmation that h2 ichigo is stronger than all other Espadas?)
Shien also used the voodoo doll on zaraki, he created dozens of them, but all of the dolls were too hard for him to break, so yeah even if you have same amount of riatsu as zaraki, your hax still won't work on him
! and finally, in the final bout between zaraki and the 8th kenpachi, none of the other spectators were able to sense their riatsu, which means both zaraki and 8th kenpachi were transcendent level beings!! (compare to his, tanking hundreds of 90 leveled kido isn't that impressive anymore)
! oh, and the amount of riatsu his eye pad now absorbs is 10 times more than before the time skip...
! so to sum it up, zaraki is uber broken. When you fight him, he'll lower his power level so he'll have a longer fight with you. but beware, none of the hax will work, and the only way to damage him is through melee attacks and kido, and the worst? he'll always win in the end
what an ass!!
! after this crazy power up zaraki went through in the novel, i can't take any of the Quincies seriously. why don't the ss just send zaraki to the front line and kill buckbeard and call it a day?
