He also claims that injury and death are nothing but the price one pays for a good fight. He even weakens himself in an effort to make any fight last longer.

Kenpachi lives for battle (evidenced by his method of attaining his rank) and enjoys a good fight more than anything.

He is depicted as having a very poor sense of direction, and is often depicted in omake stories asking his lieutenant Yachiru for directions to a particular place (who then randomly points in a direction). This comical shift is primarily centered around his appearances in the Bleach anime and omake stories, with the exception of the occasional diatribe between himself and Yachiru. He has a huge scar on the left side of his face, apparently gained well before his time in Soul Society (and even before finding Yachiru).ĭespite his initial introduction as a lethal foe, Kenpachi later begins to play the role of the comical anti-hero in Bleach: though still self-centered and violent, his actions tend to be for the best and his relationship with his division and others is always portrayed comically. Both of these are meant to give enemies an advantage, similar to his habit of fighting one-handed, as in an unhandicapped state he would defeat them so quickly that he would be unable to enjoy himself sufficiently to delve into a state of bloodlust, that being what he treasures most. He also wears a special eye patch on his right eye lined with a strange creature created by the 12th Division. He styles his hair into spikes with bells at the tips, which, Tite Kubo has remarked, makes his hair one of the most difficult to draw in the series. He wears his captain's jacket without sleeves, and with a more ragged look to it-he acquired his jacket from the previous 11th Division captain, whom he defeated and killed in a duel in order to become captain. Kenpachi has a wild and aggressive appearance, fitting with his personality.
