Kenpachi must be the strongest Captain? Oh my god. Not this shit again... I should have expected this to come sooner or later but I guess I've been a little naive...
Kenpachi is not the strongest Captain. For the love of god please don't be stupid enough to think this.
Lubricati0n beat me to the punch, but yes, all of the other Captains are fighting with their hands tied behind their backs. Kenpachi on the other hand is fighting freely at 100% capacity. This means something. And no, the whole "...blah...if Kenpachi had Bankai he'd be even stronger...blah..." crap doesn't work. Kenpachi's lacking of a Bankai is a part of his character. That's the way it's
supposed to be. Not be seen as some pathetic-logic handicap.
Now let me guess, I'm going to be barraged with Kenny fanboys who are gonna call me a hater. Whatever. Kenpachi is one of my favorite characters so that means nothing to me.
You're failing to see the objectives of these Sternritters. They aren't trying to kill the Gotei 13. That's only their secondary goal. Their primary objective is to steal their Bankais. This in itself can explain Kenpachi's victory. These Sternritters members obviously didn't know that Kenpachi didn't have a Bankai. This means they could have tried to drag the fight on longer to bait Kenpachi to release his Bankai - which he doesn't have - and ended up dying futilely.
To be honest, Kenpachi dominating his first Sternritters opponents was already seen coming weeks ago for obvious reasons. Kenpachi had the obvious advantage. This is no surprise whatsoever.
All the captians are dieing to these Quincys and Zaraki just bounces out of no where with 2 dead on his sword he's so bad ass. Kubo Tite had him locked up during Zanpakto arc when Zanpaktos came to life because Zaraki didn't have a bankai and he would destroy all the others.
No. It was because Kenpachi's zanpaktou was never introduced, so he served no purpose in that arc...
