Kenpachi's strength listed that way isn't really valid anymore. There is no way in the world that, even now, Shikai Ichigo could do jack squat to Nnoitora. It makes more sense that Kenpachi wasn't fighting with his all against Ichigo. His power grew with Ichigo's. He seems not to realize that the greater the enemy, the stronger he gets because he subconciously draws out more power. If he's like Ichigo, he can't control his Reitsu very well because he has so much of it. So, if I'm correct, he fights more powerfully when the enemy is stronger and he pulls out more of his huge Reitsu bank. We've yet to see him cap out, unless he does so soon against Nnoitora.

Also, it was taking Shikai Byakuya to fight Bankai Renji, no? I think that part of this current power confusion is that Ichigo wasn't really superior to Byakuya in power, or with the skill of his Bankai. It was just his speed. When he fought Grimmjow, that's what was noted. His speed, and not his power. It could be that Renji would be able to manage against Yammy and prevail, though it would certainly not be easy, and he wouldn't get away unscathed.

One last thing. Eliwood, you know that you can still see Rukia's head through the wedding veil, don't you?
