Main characters deaths?

[Shadow Stalker]

No, Rukia does NOT have Bankai, but she does have a third dance! Yes, four captains help ichigo and friends, but thankfully none of them dies ESPECIALLY not Byakuya!

if you think that i meant that i wont watch "because a character i dont like got strong" than you clearly missed my point. bankai is something that should be for an elite few shinigami, not everyone and their mother. if i stopped watching it would be because the characters collectively got ridiculously powerful, not because of one that i dont like...

it's kind of like dragon ball z was, in the frieza saga, super saiyan was something that one AMAZING saiyan achieved every 1000 years or something, then, a year later, every saiyan in the show was a super saiyan or higher...

i hope that you now understand my point, and if not, then i dont know how to explain it any other way.

Worked fine in DBZ they moved on to SSJ2, SSJ3, fussions... (DBGT ruined it, but not because of the progressive concept, DBGT just didnt have the same spirit about it.) So if bankai is being compared to the super saiyen complex, then after bankai is a regular thing, we will get to see crazy things like kenpachi acheiving shikai, or other cool techniques/characters "a tier above".

kenpachi already has shikai just no bankai cause he doesn't know the name

You cannot attain shikai without knowing your swords name. GG

Episode number? Just shut me down completely, ill admit defeat. I want the proof though.

[JanembaX]

manga chapter 109, page 19-17:
ichigo tells kenpachi to release his zanpakuto, kenpachi replies that his zanpakuto is always released.
manga chapter 120, page 9:
ichigo and yoruichi discuss zangetsu's prepetual released state, stating that it's the same as kenpachi's zanpakuto.
bleach official character book SOULs; page 258:
confirms that kenpachi's zanpakuto is always in shikai.
