Well after I got done with my tears of sadness and anger... I have realized that Kubo is not done killing of the characters that we love in this series. Byakuya " death" was pointless and disrespectful to this series and to the character itself. For 2 chapters Byakuya was trying to see what this fail quincy was up to and in the end cost him everything. The chapter said "Falling Soul".. I strongly believe that Byakuya lost his will to fight because fear had finally took over his will to fight. Although, for him not to have a heir to his family makes me sad because Byakuya pride is his family. Then I started to think.... yes his sword is now broken...his blood is now staining the very place he was born in... How can Kubo do this to a beloved character without an epic battle? Why kill off a character because of public pressure to kill someone in the series that he created? On a side note...... wouldn't it be funny Kenpachi somehow brings Byakuya's back? You know that Byakuya can't have someone else finish the fight he started, thats just who he is ( I am wishing for this to happen)

Kubo has taken this series to a very dark place. To think that the Captains we love maybe killed off without a chance to fight sickens me to no end.. To think... we still have not seen Aizen yet... hopefully Aizen will get the entrance he deserves... unlike Byakuya who got a pointless and dispectful one
