This is off topic but Rai that part before Byakuya was felled by his own bankai was a bit Deja Vu don't ya think? His Zenbonzakura went across the battle field all the way to Rukia, this is exactly what happened in Naruto. Do you remember? Choji used his butterfly form for the first time and afterwards he supposedly died and a butterfly reached Shikamaru and Shikamaru felt a chill running up his spine. Well this is the very same, and if Choji didn't die then most probably Byakuya won't die either. Of course this is just speculation.
