Did Kubo make a mistake by allowing Byakua to live, after being defeated so soundly?

Fan pressure is what made kubo keep him alive. Byakuya has a lot of fans that fanatically worship him.

Damn shame too. He has done 0 to progress the story so far.

Yep I agree. I read somewhere that he got threatening calls from byakuya fans. That's why kubo has to keep byakuya alive

I'm pretty sure that he was originally going to die against As Nodt, and he's most likely going to die later on in the series.

It would take a Miracle for him to be killed in the next few chapters.

Byakuya not dying is the only thing that really urked me about this whole arc, his death could have been great for Rukia and Renji development, and now he's just kinda there.

yep. Serves no purpose. kenpachi I can see being allowed to live, because he still had a role in the story.

Naw that's like saying Kakashi should have stayed dead

Pain died in the place of kakashi, so we got one person dead who didn't need to be. The fans demand sacrifice, we DEMAND BLOODDD!!!

Nah but seriouslt the story could not have continued without kakashi, he was a pivotal cahracter from as early as chapter 4. And he was narutos trainer, comrade and is some sneses a father figure.
Byakuya is more like an asuma, cool character but a side character.

Pain died in his place lol what? Pain just got introduced so that don't count that's like me saying bazz b died..anyway don't compare Asuma to byakuya,byakuya has way more of an impact on the mane character's life unlike Asuma,asuma death can only be compared to gins death or unohana's.

don't compare asuma with Gin.:foot2:
Gin's death scene was beautiful:score:

Pain literally died to revive kakashi... I fail to see how bazz b died to revive byakuya.

Ok fine I give you one rank up. Byakuya is like neji. Misguided villain at first and wanted to hurt his "sister" has a overly pale complexion, has long hair and became a good guy after being defeated by the bad guy. Boom baby that's the perfect comparison

Sadly Byakuya is damn near irrelevant at this point. And to think years ago we used to compare him to Kenpachi.

He soloed 3 sternritters and I don't think he even used bankai to do it.
