the reason why byakuya didn't die is cause of the fans.
Kubo wanted to kill him but the fanbase sent h death letters so he changed it.
These claims have never been proven for years. It's just something the community made up.

it's a good theory cause Byakuya had many fans.

There is 3 big problems with this anime with 2 coming from manga itself.

1- Pacing

Pacing is extremely fast, they cut too much and squeezing scenes to fit so much in one episode. There is no way non-manga readers can feel or understand anything at this point.

2- Writing

Writing was always bad in Bleach because Tite Kubo is bad writer. Soul Society Arc was his best. There was no reason to Byakuya survive but he survives anyway.

3- Worldbuilding

Worldbuilding doesn't make sense even from the first episode, there is no correlation between anything, there is no reason, explanation, how this works, how that works etc. etc.

Pacing - yes. It is a bit fast, i wish they didnt cut anything from manga. Sure, those are not important things, but it would be nice to take a little breath, some more non-sction scenes. What Im missing from this episode is lack of explanation why Ichigo's Bankai cant be repaired like others bankais. anime only guys might find that as inconsistentcy in the world.

Writing - It is good. Sure, Byakuya's death was expected after his 'last words' scene. But people do live like that, not waking up for months, years. only difference here is that they got 0 squad so he can escape that fate.

worldbuilding - that is, my friend, total crap. Many many things are explained properly. I dont what what exactly you mean by that maybe you just misunderstood some explenations. Feel free to ask

After that "emotional" episode 7, episode 8 had that comedic feel here and there to somehow lighten up the mood with Kon and Squad Zero. Sad to know that some content were cut and so the episode felt rushed.

Calm between the storms episode, I see that Mayuri skipped Komamura and Ikkaku bankai explanation which he did in the manga.

the comedy scenes made me chuckle especially whenever Kirinji is involved...

...reminds me of earlier episodes of Bleach 1st season :)

always disliked that Byakuya survived but seeing him ragdolled into a pool is charming enough


to be fair his fight against As Nodt was so short an one sided that it d ve been an unceremonious death
ehh disagree, it just adds to the direness of that entire conflict and the bigger issue is his fake death scene is fantastic. Save soul society legitimately gets weaker cause he survived.

might be worth mentioning that Byakujas defeat was the manga chapter that made Kubo deal with a shit ton a death threats (cause Bleachs fandom sucks ass) no one d want to deal with that bs, cant blame him for taking the easy route an make Byakuja survive

The episode excluded a crucial scene from the manga, while at the hot spring. I was very disappointed that it was excluded, as it was a great chuckle and memorable.

I have never seen any proof of this and dont buy it one bit, the entire manga has had the issue of him writing spectacular death scenes that dont actually end up being death scenes, even way way way back in soul society you had stuff like momo being stabbed by aizen and the following chapters acting upfront that she was murdered only for her to be fine.

You can definitely tell me people freaked out at the thought of him dying, but I do not for a second believe that ever reached Kubo's ears let alone in time to change the direction of the plot like this would of happened in only a couple weeks. I even remmember back when this happened half the responses were being fairly positive he isnt dead just cause thats what bleach always did.

Just glad that Byakuya is still alive, I thought he was definitely dead in the last episode.

Well we shouldn’t be surprised kubo didn’t decide to kill off byakuya he does appear in the hell arc chapter and the light novel cfyow which takes place after the tybw and that would require changing a good amount of content and then changing that as well. Plus I think it’s good kubo didn’t show us rukias peach or Kons transformation those two things felt more out of place than anything else considering how dark this arc is.

But guys you know what’s coming next kenpachi vs Unohana and everything but the rain, I can’t wait this episode was solid 9/10 for me and this episode served both a cooldown and breather from all the action and sadness. I do think byakuya should have died originally but these fans bullying kubo is quite sad, that being said I didn’t think they would change the decision to kill him off just because how much the arc would change and how it would affect cfyow and the hell arc chapter we got as he would of had to remove byakuya from both.

Very light episode compared to the last several. Byakuya and Kenpachi are still alive apparently, but basically in a coma. Looks like Grimmjow is back too, we did never actually see him die before.

I feel like Byakuya's fight was meant as symbolism.
Just like during SS arc, Byakuya represented SS. The moment Ichigo changed Byakuya, the moment SS started to change too in favor of Ichigo's idealogy. And in this war arc, Byakuya was meant to showcase the state of SS, totally destroyed in a one sided battle.
But I will have to be honest, Byakuya dying or surviving doesnt change the story too much anyways. And the mangaka doesnt really enjoy a revenge story, just look at Gin, Tousen and

A bit rushed but not a bad ep overall, I wish they have kept the Buff Kon and Rukia peach butt joke though.

At least Byakuya getting yeeted into the pool was still funny.

Soi Fonis uptight and angry as ever, I still hate this character as much as when she was first introduced.

People angry at Byakuya not dying for real, but why is that even an issue? In the same episode that Grimmjow of all people comes back. That and some members of Xcution to top it off(Ganju, lol). To be fair, Byakuya dying in that miserable manner would have done more damage to his character, it's enough that Yamamoto had to go out without even threatening the enemy general AND losing his Bankai in the process.

If there's anything weird, it's that Ichigo lost his Bankai again, right after just regaining it at the end of last arc.

Wow, another great ep. The mourning of the head captain was sad and the frustration is fully understood. Many old characters are reappearing, like Kūkaku and her brother. And makes me wonder if Isshin is her real biological uncle. That makes Ichigo and Kukaku family. WOW! Also, seeing Ginjo is a shock. Makes sense since he probably went to soul society after death. Had to think for a minute to get that. LOL. The first sneak peeks at the soul king and the royal palace. Nice!
