1. I never said that Kenpachi is stronger than Ichigo.No matter what you say about Kenpachi, it won't change the fact that Ichigo's much much stronger than Kenpachi right now. And you're wrong, Ichigo's rank is based both on Power and Potential. If Kenpachi was so special, then why didn't all the sternritter focus their attention on him? Because they knew he didn't mean anything to Juha. Which is why they all Ganged up on Ichigo, all eight of them. Instead of going 1v1. They knew that was the only way of beating Ichigo, because if they went 1v1, he'd wreck them.
2. About part of power and potential of Ichigo, it's not really point and don't change anything about my previous point, so why that bother you at all?
3. But, I will repeat Ichigo's rank in SWP is based on his potential. Why?? At the beginning of war, there were tons of people stronger than Ichigo (Kyoraku, Ukitake, Unohana), but they are not SWP.
1. If Yama's statament is true. It would mean Kyoraku or Ukitake > Yama, Kyoraku or Ukitake > Aizen, Kyoraku or Ukitake > Urahara, Kyoraku or Ukitake > Unohana, Kyoraku or Ukitake > Isshin, all these characters came before or after them. And I would also agrue that Shinji is stronger than Kyoraku or Ukitake and also Zaraki of course.Just face it already, Kyoraku and Ukitake are the strongest Captains. How many times has Yamamoto said it? ''Come to think of it, your strengths have always been above the rest.'' ''When it comes to battle, your complementary abilities work phenomenally together. That power is unrivaled by Anyone Who Came Before You and Everyone Since" See? Yama just practically said that Kyoraku and Ukitake are practically stronger than he 1st generation Captains. Kenpachi is not weak, but he's not the strongest either. If Kenpachi was that much of a threat, then why didn't Juha personally kill him before he went to the Royal Palace? He was well aware of the fact that Kenpachi was the one who killed Gremmy right? But did Juha even falter? Nope.
2. You took to literal Yama's statament. He said that due to respect, for them.
3. Shinji already said that if Zaraki is killed, war be over, even though they still have Kyoraku, what that say to you??
4. As you can see Yhwach don't give a shit about anything. How do you know what Yhwach's plan is? Maybe he want to kill SK and become new one, just like Aizen wanted, and when he become one, there will be no reason to kill others, didn't you thought about that? Aizen didn't kill anyone in FKT, but many of thems were very strong.
1. Because of his title, since Kyoraku is CC. Zaraki at that time was still locked in Muken, so Hashwalth couldn't come and comfirm him instead of Kyoraku. Also Kyoraku is leader, and killing leader is one of enemies main goals in war, how strong leaders are, it's pretty much irrelevant.Why did Haschwalth immediately go over to Kyoraku to try and kill him? Because he knew that besides Ichigo, Kyoraku would be a major problem. If he felt that Kenpachi would be stronger since he's a SWP and Kyoraku's not, then why didn't he go after Kenpachi? Because he wasn't worried either. And about the whole SWP nonsense, there are still 2 people on the list whom we do not know, so stop saying ''Kenpachi is stronger than Kyoraku because he's on the SWP list an Kyoraku's not." If that's the case, then are you implying that Kenpachi is even stronger than Yamamoto just because he didn't make the list? If Kenpachi had so much potential, then he would have been invited to the Royal Palace along side Ichigo, Renji, Byakuya and Rukia. If he was there, he would have even had Ichibei Hyōsube tell him the name of his Zanpakuto. The main reason why Kenpachi survived his encounter with Gremmy was just because Gremmy was stupid and arrogant.
2. Yhwach already said that Yamamoto is strong enough to be SWP, but he is not one, since he become "soft" and he is not strong as he was 1000 years ago, that's reason why Yamamoto wasn't listed as one. You have just 2 unknown SWP, and since Kyoraku's powers are matured, he can't get stronger, chances for him to be SWP and not Unohana, Urahara or Isshin are low. Also Kenpachi (as currently weakest SWP) is quite above Kyoraku in my opinion, one more reason to believe that Kyoraku is not one. I'm to lazy to search now, but I think that Dagger even confirmed that last two SWPs aren't shinigamis.
It was back than.And as i've been saying, Kyoraku is stronger than Kenpachi simply because he's a Master Swordsman, and a Master Strategist and Tactican. Just imagine, Kyoraku was fighting on par with Starrk with only his sealed Zanpakuto! That's a pretty impressive feat. Meanwhile, Kenpachi was struggling to fight the 5th espada. So yeah, Kyoraku > Kenpachi
