i always thought Kenpachi "let ichigo pass" because he had earnt the right to or just got that bored with it he couldn't be bothered

There it is. I see what people mean by borrowing power; I assumed that was some "omg fight by my side" nonsense when I read that. I guess the manga explains otherwise? Either way, it's clear that SS arc indicates jack shit about power levels.
No he definitely whooped on Kenpachi. Well, Tied.
That said, Early arcs of a Manga/Anime that revolve around fighting rarely accurately represent "power levels" as its being called in this thread. The reason Ichigo won was because he's the good guy, and Kenpachi was the bad guy... Not because Ichigo's Shikai has the power to out-match Kenpachi... Ichigo got (As said) a Plot-Power up to momentarily give him the ability to fight Kenpachi.
(all as Yugi pretty much said)
No.
Power levels are just something an author comes up with when he realizes a character has grown faster than logically possible.
Are we talking about DBZ or something that happened about 10 years ago?
Kubo kind of brought power levels back with the Espada numbering system. Even then he still managed to screw it up.
Pretty much just a setup chapter this week.
Damn this is getting pretty gory.
Here is hoping we get many kenpachi panels next issue
Just what is Kubo's obsession with reusing the same panel layout over and over. This is what, the third time we've seen the "obligatory person B behind the shoulder of the person A while airborne" template, and we knocked on Kubo for doing it last time with Ichigo and Aizen.
Clearly he's at it again.
makes for a dramatic angle? as much as i'm enjoying the chaos and i agree with it been a setup chapter i'd have at least like to have seen some real fighting (Renji never counts)
Hard to have drama when the bad guys have hilariously fuckbad names.
NaNaNa Najahkoop is a bad ass name, fuck the haters!!!

Third? LOL
More like the 11th or 12th.
For a setup chapter this really wasn't bad, I don't think Bleach has ever been this grim before with all of these mutilations occurring all over the place. I'm anticipating a swift defeat for the 13 squads, since it wouldn't do much for progression if they won so early; there would be no point in bringing out Zero squad or seeing Aizen again who I'm kind of hoping they throw him in to put a few Quincy down, some Kyoka Suigetsu trolling would be fun.
And I'm forgiving "that panel" this week since it was a third party jumping in, usually he just has some dude shunpo behind while fighting, and everyone acts shocked like it's a new and unique move that's never been seen before.
