Gremmy wasn't "given the ability". Spoiler: He is somewhat loosely confirmed to be some type of special item related to the Soul King. He wasn't "given" the power because he had "lower intelligence", he has always had the ability and existed even before Yhwach possibly being that he was going to be used as the brain of the being to replace the Soul King, even the very body he has was created by him. "So let that sink in. Gremmy had an insanely broken power to warp reality to the will of his imagination that is comparable in power to be ing able to destroy or create entire galaxies(a lot of information involved with knowing this, but not any sort of spoiler. I just read all of the LN). Yet, his body broke down only 2 seconds after imagining himself stronger than Kenny. As such, just imagine how strong Kenny truly is, and he has yet to even unlock his Bankai"...this has nothing to do with Kenpachi's strength to be honest. The same thing would have happened if he tried to do the same to any other "top tier" character. He lost because he imagined Kenpachi's strength without changing his body (his original body was simply to give the brain a physical form). So it wasn't that Kenpachi's power was so vast that Gremmy couldn't theoretically overpower him, it was that Gremmy imagined kenpachi's power without also imagining or thinking of a body to hold said power. Tbh anything related to the soul king would almost certainly dwarf Kenpachi in power and need some sort of special loop hole to be defeated. He couldn't defeat Gerald, he got annihilated by pernida and the only reason Gremmy lost was because he made a mistake, which with his ability proved fatal.

2025-09-29 23:17:39 +0000 UTCA bit of information here that I also see falsely misinformed by other comments: First, Gremmy's imagination is manifested by both conscious and subconscious thought. So it can be extremely volatile. It was given to Gremmy because the lower your intelligence the less dangerous and yet more effective it is. Secondly, when Gremmy sent Kenpachi to "space" it was actually a separate dimension created to replicate space. Kenny cut through space and that dimension. His shikai's ability is to literally "cut anything" and very VERY few things in the show can actually withstand more than a single blow from his sword. Third, Gremmy DID NOT power up Kenny when he "imagined" him as a monster. That wasn't an imagination. He literally viewed Kenny as such. It was more of an observation than anything else. Fourth, when Gremmy imagined himself stronger than Kenny, that power killed him. He doesn't need to know the actually level of power for his imagination to work. Let's say Kenny's power was 999, yet Gremmy never even tried to quantify his power level in any way, yet imagined he was stronger, his schrift would automatically put Gremmy's own "power level" above 999. This is because the power itself can already discern what it necessary. However, if Gremmy DID imagine it as 999, but it was actually 1499, then it would only gaurantee Gremmy's power to be above 999, but not 1499. THAT is why it is more imperative to give the power to someone of lesser intellect. They would not even think to try and quantify the power of their enemy. As such, they would automatically allow their power itself to do so for them. Now, the reason why Gremmy died after imagining himself stronger than Kenny is because Kenny's full, true power, was greater than what Gremmy's body could contain. So let that sink in. Gremmy had an insanely broken power to warp reality to the will of his imagination that is comparable in power to be ing able to destroy or create entire galaxies(a lot of information involved with knowing this, but not any sort of spoiler. I just read all of the LN). Yet, his body broke down only 2 seconds after imagining himself stronger than Kenny. As such, just imagine just how strong Kenny truly is, and he has yet to even unlock his Bankai. He only just unlocked his Shikai as well. Either way, in the LN and manga, Gremmy died because his body was literally unable to contain a power equal to, nor greater than, that in which Kenny holds. The anime kind of failed to properly convey that along with a few other things in this fight. These were just some of the more important aspects I felt to explain.

2025-09-22 04:29:22 +0000 UTCImportant note about Gremmy its not only conscious imagine but subconscious as well. What I mean by that is. Gremmy accidentally started to imagine himself losing the fight. Which caused him to start losing and he accidentally imagined Kenny as a monster which kind of boosted Kenny in a way. Its like if you stepped on a crack and went "Imagine if my mom broke her back" You didn't willfully imagine that to happen but just the thought entering your mind would make it a reality. So he has to be very careful with what he thinks

2025-09-12 23:16:18 +0000 UTCFun lil fact from the light novels so not really a spoiler but Aizen actually banked on soul society sending Kenny to hueco mundo so he could keep him out of the way during the fake karakura town arc before he fused with the hogyoku because he knew how strong Kenny actually was and didn't want to risk him unleashing his true power. Not saying he saw him as a monumental threat but he did see him as an obstacle

2025-04-30 02:26:40 +0000 UTCYou need to watch Sailor Moon after this. It's not connected at all. But I don't think you ever watched a Shojo anime. It's time boys and girls :D

2025-04-24 23:24:26 +0000 UTCSo a little fun information and change from the manga to the anime. In the manga Gremmy was apprently sealed away because he was seen as a loose cannon and very dangerous to both the Quincies and their enemies. So he was released for whatever reason for the second invasion. However in the anime this was apprently changed. Because of 2 scenes, first one is when Uryu is announced as the successor to Yhwach in the big gathering you can see Gremmy standing casually in the front and is clearly not sealed or restrained. The other scene is by the big Sternritter meeting table you can see Gremmy sitting on the table casually. Why this was done, don't know but just fun to notice.

2025-04-24 17:43:13 +0000 UTCKenpachi's shikai was so fire and Gremmy's power is broken bro lol. We finally got to see Gremmy, I remember the first Sunday rundown of this year and you guys read Gremmy's comment and was wondering who that was and you seen his comment again and kept wondering but we couldn't say anything so you wouldn't be spoiled. Had to wait and find out and it didn't disappoint ofc. Next episode is gonna be insane

2025-04-24 06:49:21 +0000 UTC[Tidbits] - Yachiru's ability is quite strong, It strikes before she attacks, when she attacks, and after she attacks, making it nearly impossible for most people to evade. Also as Isane noted no Shinigami has a Shikai that doesn't change form once released (which is a hint that something is off) - A really interesting dynamic here is that Kenpachi, now that he's accepted his role, is doing the same thing Unohana did for him. He's Fighting Gremmy but also teaching him how to properly enjoy battle. - The anime cuts several reactions from both Shinigami and Quincy characters when Gremmy uses the Meteor. - Many fans claim that Gremmy is idiotic; however, he's more so sheltered, and this is why he began to feel ecstatic by fighting for the 1st time. The idea is that despite being able to imagine nearly anything he's likely experienced very little in life, from actions to even feelings. - In regards to Gremmy's power of imagination, many fans fail to understand that it has many drawbacks that could limit its strength. The 1st is that what one can imagine is based on experience, and Gremmy has lived a very confined life because it's alluded to in the manga (and confirmed in light novels) that he's kept locked away. The 2nd is that a person's imagination can do its own thing, so if you have involuntary negative thoughts, they will affect you like how Gremmy began to lose (You could even argue that Kenpachi saying that he can't be cut, made Gremmy imagine that into reality). 3rd is that it's limited to the speed of his thoughts. Lastly, it's not limitless as some claim, if he could just make anything a reality, Yhwach would have told him to imagine that every soul reaper was dead, but clearly, that's not the case, (It's also a matter of reiatsu; he'd need enough to make the ideas happen, but clearly you need a body strong enough to house certain levels of reiatsu.) - The scene with Kenpachi calling out his sword's name mixed with the Flashback of Yachiru not having a name is a huge in-your-face hint here, which some people somehow miss.

2025-04-23 23:03:05 +0000 UTCit was revealed Gremmy was always locked away when not fighting cos they feared his power. thats why he was childlike and probably wasted his powers

2025-04-23 22:54:52 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown He didnt say bankai. Its not bankai, its his shikai. I swear someone let you guys know this. Of course you guys watch alot of shows so it can be understandable

2025-04-23 22:28:55 +0000 UTCThis was the best shoutout I could’ve ever imagined, thanks guys! 😊 If you look at every comment I ever left, you can see I always sneak in the word, “imagine” or any other variation of the word in all the #Rundown comments. If you had the power of the Visonary, what would YOU come up with to try to beat Kenpachi? Make everything a spiral like in Uzumaki or summon Saitama for example. Yeah picture this power in the hands of someone who reads comics and manga. 😅
