Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Byakuya Kuchiki

Kenpachi Zaraki vs. Byakuya Kuchiki is a fight taking place in the Zanpakutō Rebellion. It details the conflict between the captains of the 6th and the 11th Divisions.

Prologue
As Kenpachi Zaraki blows away all of the other opponents with his incredible reiatsu, he stands alone in the destroyed landscape. As the smoke clears, Byakuya Kuchiki appears, eyeing him intently. Byakuya remarks that he released a large amount of reiatsu to throw everyone else away, wondering whether it strained his body. Kenpachi merely smiles, stating that he never planned on fighting those weaklings. He continues, explaining that he doesn't care what happens to his body, so long as he gets to fight him.

Kenpachi says that, if he dies in combat, then he shall die laughing. He asks him whether he is going to make the first move, but Byakuya says that he doesn't have time to fight him. Kenpachi then states that he is going to attack, since Byakuya refuses to.

Battle
Kenpachi charges at Byakuya, locking swords with him, as a shockwave ripples outwards. He laughs loudly, as Byakuya releases his Zanpakutō, the pink petals immersing him. He moves away, as Kenpachi cuts through the petals effortlessly, stating that those attacks are not sufficient to defeat him. Kenpachi releases a large amount of reiatsu, condensing it into an attack, which Byakuya is able to deflect with his sealed sword. Byakuya stares at him momentarily, before using Senka, appearing behind Kenpachi.

He slashes his sword at the 11th Division captain, but much to his surprise, Kenpachi is able to block it. He continues his onslaught against Byakuya, asking whether his speed is only good for dodging his attacks. In response to this, he uses Shunpo once more, appearing above Kenpachi, promptly slicing his forearm. Kenpachi examines his injury, as Byakuya proclaims that his movements are too fast for him. In order to test Byakuya's statement, Kenpachi charges at him, whilst Byakuya uses Shunpo to dodge his strike.

However, as Byakuya swings his sword down upon Kenpachi, he catches it with his bare hand, much to Byakuya's inherent surprise. Whilst Byakuya is rooted in place, Kenpachi swings his sword at Byakuya, causing a plume of dust to rise into the air. Kenpachi pants heavily, as Byakuya tells him to let him pass, threatening to kill him with his next attack. He laughs, telling Byakuya to come at him with his full power, as Byakuya sees he has no choice, finally resolving himself to fight the 11th Division captain.

Aftermath
Suddenly, the two oppenents feel a huge rumbling sound in the distance, as Ashisogi Jizō emerges, disrupting the battle. As the area is engulfed in a cloud of dust, Kenpachi wonders what just happened, as Byakuya disappears from view. Byakuya appears before Ichigo, shortly before he is thrown into the poisonous gas exhumed by Ashisogi Jizō. As Ichigo watches on, Byakuya disappears alongside Senbonzakura.

Kenpachi grabs hold of Ashisogi Jizō, berating him for disrupting his fight with Byakuya Kuchiki. As he asks the struggling Zanpakutō spirit how he could possibly repay him, Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi appears, promptly detonating his Zanpakutō, as it clattered to the ground.
