I actually liked Byakuya quite a bit. However I am not a fanboy and look at things objectively. He was stated to be dead, he was pounded into a wall where he was barely visible due to the overwhelming amount of blood that had been pounded out of his body. I like being objective about things. I also don't like to discard what is said in the manga.
