I pretty much got sick of all the people saying "why didn't the stupid kid just 1 shot Kenpachi" and shit like that for the past like...6 chapters. I registered in this site just to give my opinion on this. It's because...he simply CAN NOT. "Oh but he 1 shotted those vizards by just imagining it"... yes indeed he did.
But let's remember a few years ago Aizen's words that pretty much explain all fights concerning PASSIVE abilities just like Gremmy's imagination. When Soifon stabbed him twice with her 1 shot ability from Suzumebashi, Aizen just negated it. Why? He clearly states that his reiatsu simply surpasses that of Soifon's, so the ability was of no use.
Now look at Kenpachi's fight. His lower squad members clearly say in Chapter 574 that it took too long for them to sense Ken-Chan's reiatsu. From this statement which many people ignored, we can say that Kenpachi is almost at transcendent level. Actually, taking into account that he has the goddamn eyepatch on, which seals a HUGE percentage of his reiatsu, he is ALREADY transcendent.
Going back to Aizen, he didn't even need to be transcendent to pwn Soifon's Shikai (he was still in Shinigami-Aizen state). Gremmy probably tried countless of times to 1 shot Kenpachi's organs but because of the huge gap of reiatsu, he couldn't do it just like he did on Yachiru and the injured Vizards. I hope i cleared some people's minds.
Concerning Gremmy's outcome, i believe it was a very creative way from Kubo for the little brat to die like that (did he die yet?). It was a great way to display Kenpachi's monstrous power, he is so strong that even unconsciously without him moving a single finger, he killed(?) Gremmy when he tried to become as powerful as him. Decent Chapter!
you have it all wrong the reason gremmy can't one shot kenpachi is because after kubo matched kenpachi up with a hax/op/cheap character he realized that kenpachi is a fan favorite and that he couldn't kill him off even if that was the most logical outcome. he then realized that he lacked the writing chops to come up with a strategic way to beat gremmy so he made gremmy suck at using his powers to make kenpachi look good by giving him simple obstacles that cater to kenpachi's powers.
let's face it gremmy was basically an excuse for tite kubo to show off kenpachi's big dumb new sword.
