Ayon was seen cut in half by Yamamoto in ep.226, and Tesla was cut in half by Kenpachi in ep.196, though only Tesla's hand was seen actually severed) Yammy also had some of his legs hacked clean off by Kenpachi, so I guess that rule only applies to human-like characters; after all, noone has any sympathy for mutilated monsters... ^^
