also, in terms of byakuya's blade... i don't believe it actually broke like ichigo's did. I believe that it more or less dissapated due to byakuya entering a near death state. remember that bankai's are formed by the weilder actually using their strength to draw out their swords power. I believe he couldn't put out the energy any long so it crumbled away. it was not broken by an enemy. it dissipated due to byakuya's weakness.
