In terms of the Byakuya knocks Gerard to the ground and knocks off Gerard's helmet.

It's more along the lines of Byakuya is actually disintegrating Gerard's body up to where his severed head comes off, hence Hinamori's disgust and shock at how they went overboard to make sure an enemy stayed dead. On top of this, remember it is plausible due to Gerard's ability. Whatever is severed and removed grows back bigger and stronger.
