im pretty sure that his sword is allready released. because in the unreleased state all the swords luck the same, just like normal katanas.
but kenpachis sword his a really unique shape so i think he allways is in shikai, without realising it (like Ichigo with his big sword)

and i hope that the fight doesn't end with that swing. for an finishing move just using to hands is a bit lame i think.

Nah, it's cool for a finishing move. I think it would be lame if Zaraki would have a bankai, because then he'll lose his appeal, I guess. I mean, he's the only Shinigami who's so strong enough that he can be Captain without a Bankai.

zaraki's sword is pretty big... its longer than most of the other zanpakto's and it doesn't look like a normal katana so it is in its release state.

kendo isn't a trifling matter, the precision and power necessary to score a point is immense. with this added precision and power zaraki's strikes will become godlike.

the only way yachiru will fight is if she turns out to be his bankai's manifestation otherwise she's just a lolli vice captain for boys to drool over... i like the one with glasses myself...

i think zaraki proved in his fight with tousen that he isn't just a beast but a clever beast:a demon

lets skip school

Okay, a little question concerning Yachiru. Don't you think she behaves weirdly? I mean when Zaraki fought Ichigo, she was all giggles and cheers, damn, she nearly started a cheer leading dance. And now, when Zaraki seems to have the same amount of fun, she's so quiet and withdrawn and just says 'Ken-chan' all the time... doesn't that seem weird to you?

Maybe she is worried about him this time, cause there actually is a strong possibility that he could die in this fight.
doubt it tho.
