To clear things up, I was confused because Tsukishima stated that the NDR was an area where the blades should never CROSS. If that was the case, then the blades wouldn't come anywhere close to how close they've been to Byakuya--especially since he's their matrix. I realize that Byakuya was blocking Ichigo's attacks during the early stage of their bankai faceoff, but by the wording on Mangastream it still wouldn't make any sense. Therefore, the only thing that could make the NDR work out is, as I have stated, if all blades within its range lose their cutting power. It's the only thing that would make any sense whatsoever. And on a sidenote, I believe 85 cm would just about perfectly encompass Byakuya and his armspan--provided 85 cm is the radius of the circle.
