Hero of the Week: Zaraki Kenpachi

Now this is a character you don't want to mess with. That's right, it's the captain of the 11th squad of the Gotei 13, Zaraki Kenpachi
















If I had to pick my favorite anime character archetype, it would have to be the insane battle hungry characters with the determined eyes that don't show a shred of humanity. Zaraki is the epitome of this. Watching his battles is one of the highest points of Bleach. The ridiculous nature of the series is pushed even further during his fights. There are many characters that enjoy themselves during battle, but Zarakii takes this to a whole nother level. Even when things look bad, he is having just as much fun regardless of whether he's winning or losing. Just take a look at the extent he'll go to have fun.



Zaraki's enjoyment is transferred into the reader/viewer. With him having so much fun, it's hard to not find his fights entertaining. It's easy to see why he is one of the favorites in the series. I do hope he gets developed a bit more, but for now, he is by far the most badass character in the series.
