I know this is a totally interesting idea... but...

Is there a possibility that it could be backwards ... That Yachiru is in someway Kenpachi's zanpakuto?

I mean ... <_< Kenpachi constantly fights his own battles and Yachiru is always next to him....I would guess that if Kenpachi called for Yachiru's help she'll Bankai or somethin...

@_@ Just a crazy veiw on the topic...

Dude... My life consists of Manga, Anime, Eat, Sleep, Restroom uses, and Comedy... Mass Amounts of Comedy, Until you giggle... or your spleen Explodes..

thats possible but doesn't she have a background story way before kenpachi even shows up...like didn't he save her from the bandits that killed her father?
kenpachi doesn't really have a story and if he does it could be sort of falsafied as yachiru's would be more realistic

No, Kenpachi is the one with the back story. He named Yachiru after the only woman who was ever nice to him, I believe. Yachiru's a kid he found and saved from bandits before she was old enough to remember a backstory.

wrong he named her after some one he admired just becasue he came up with a name doesn't mean he has a back story and as i said his story could possibly b mroe fake in comparison to yachiru's

Just want to say Kenpachi is using shikai, his zanpakuto is a constant release type like Ichigo's.

Nope thats wrong. His sword is not much more than a piece of metal he can't release anything with it and it hasn't even a name.

I think Keels theory is kinda interesting.

It's mentioned by Kubo in one of the Bleach Official Character Book SOULs; page 258. So yeah, it's in constant freakin release by word of the author himself.

As for the yachiru = kenpachi's release, that was already stomped to death in another topic, so just NO.

-Kenpachi fainted/passed out during the Ichigo fight, Yachiru was still present, therefore she's not a bankai (as explained by Byakuya later on).
-Zangetsu mentioned to Ichigo that Kenpachi's sword is in pain and distrusts Kenpachi, that would be the complete opposite to the relationship between Kenpachi and Yachiru.

The theory of one being another sounds fun and all, but the idea of a zanpakuto having its own zanpakuto is going to throw off the whole shinigami existance. The zanpakuto is a part of the shinigami's soul and shares traits with its owner.

The two of them are separate shinigami with their own zanpakuto, Kenpachi will get more information on him as the series go on.
The chances of Kenpachi being Yachiru's zanpakuto is slim to none, but the other way around is just a dead end. >:-(

Oh well didn't know that (and didn't read it). But it sounds kinda illogical, he doesn't even know the name of his sword but it is constantly released,a paradox in my eyes 😛

No for both Ichigo and Kenpachi, since they can't control their massive reiatsu, their swords are constantly at their shikai form, thus it is said that their swords are constantly at their "released form"

yea we get that it's in constant release for...but don't you have to kno the name of your sowrd b4 you release it. Ichigo most definitly knew Zengetsu.how the hell did kenpachi release his sword if he doesn't kno it;s name

Exactly what I meant. He can't "hear" his sword so how can he release it ?

But in the beginning when Ichigo was first given his powers as shinigami his sword was already like that, the kinda big knife shaped sword without hilt and he definitely didn't know the name of his sword then. Even if you say that he just borrowed his first shinigami powers from Rukia, its not exactly the case cause as we already know there is a source where Ichigo's power is stemming from and that is his father. I'm just saying that his sword then and now is just the same and the first time we saw it is already in shikai form.

As stated again and again and again...Kenpachi's reiatsu was so strong that his sword was already released when he got it, he didn't need to call it's name because it's shikai form was forced out...
People keep saying Ichigo had strong reiatsu but why didn't Zangetsu come out? Truth is, he wasn't, Ichigo was WEAK...he couldn't even beat Byakuya who pawned him easily even though he was 5x weaker because of the restriction. While as for Zaraki, he already had captain level reiatsu for as long as he can remember...that's my two cents on it..

No it wasn't...try to reread it again. It wasn't released it was just big...it looked like a giant version of Zabimaru's normal form...It didn't look like a big kitchen knife and it still had a hilt

Like others have said, it's forced release through sheer overwhelming spirit pressure for Kenpachi.

The difference between Ichigo and Kenpachi then comes down to their strengths. Ichigo fights with the help of Zangetsu, while Kenpachi receives no help from his zanpakuto and it ends up being a strip of metal with Kenpachi's reiatsu enforcing it to make it cut things. That is how Kenpachi fights without knowing its name, and that's probably how he will fight for the rest of the series...

Zakari's a true nutcase! i love him, defeating the 5th espada on a whim! just by deciding to use both hands when striking with the sword...rediculous! dont forget ppl when he removes his eyepatch its not to make him actually any stronger but just removes a handicap to bring him to normal strenght! he doesnt use his sword's power in any way which we saw with ichigo makes you at least twice as strong! i think if he used his sword properly he'd be the strongest person in the series! as far as the theory goes i very much doubt it! but appreciate the thought!

... No comment on this theory. xD I debated this already. -.-

And Zaraki's sword is constantly released, Zaraki says so himself that even if he tried, he couldn't seal his sword, so it stays 'unsealed' all the time, which is basically the very definition of a Shikai; an unsealed Zanpaktou.
