User blog comment:Lemursrule/BLEACH 310 Review: S.O.U.L (sorry on unacceptable lateness)/@comment-3430212-20110228185811/@comment-1351982-20110228230821

Gin died, he had his money shot, he is no longer alive. Plus the Zanpakuto arc is an anime-only arc, and is not canon to the Bleach manga storyline or characters. What Byakuya did in the anime is irrelevant to what he does in the manga. Plus a general unofficial rule of Bleach injuries, a character usually cannot survive more than one seemingly fatal injury at a single point of time, Gin had atleast 3.
