How tall is byakuya in bleach

By adopting her Byakuya respected his wife's last wish, but had broken the rules of his clan again. He later swore upon his parents' graves that he would never break the rules again, no matter what. As a result, he, though entirely apathetic on the surface, is actually deeply conflicted with the matter of Rukia's execution: should he intervene, it would require breaking the promise to his parents and the rules again, but should he do nothing he would fail to fulfill the promise he made to Hisana to protect Rukia as his own sister.

While it is not clear, it is implied that Byakuya Kuchiki became captain of the 6th division less than 50 years before the main Bleach storyline shortly before Rukia had entered the Gotei Gin Ichimaru became captain of the 3rd Division at the same time. In its shikai, Senbonzakura's blade scatters into a thousand tiny blades. While the blades are supposedly too small to see normally, they appear as cherry blossoms because of the way the light shines on them.

Byakuya can control the blades at will, allowing him to shred opponents at a distance and break through almost any defense.

While Byakuya can control the blades with his mind alone, using his hands allows him to do so more effectively, making the blades move almost twice as fast. Byakuya's bankai, named Senbonzakura Kageyoshi Vibrant Display of the Thousand Cherry Blossoms , is essentially a much larger version of Senbonzakura's shikai. To activate it, Byakuya drops his sword. The sword passes through the ground and two rows of giant blades rise up from the ground behind Byakuya.

These then scatter into a million tiny blades. The number of blades is great enough that Byakuya can use them for defense as well as offense. Byakuya's bankai has two extra forms, achieved by arranging the blades in different patterns. They are activated by saying the name of the technique followed by the name of his bankai.

The first is "scene of a massacre" senkei, Viz: "annihilate" , which unites the scattered petals into complete swords that form four rows around Byakuya and his opponent.

While Byakuya can control these swords as he does his regular blades, he usually attacks with just one in hand. After immobilizing an opponent, he can call in the other blades to hit them while they're trapped.

He can also use all the blades at once for one immensely powerful strike. Byakuya also grows pure white wings and a halo-like circle in the back, both made of spiritual power. User Info: Super Saiyan 3 Goku. Only ones we know for sure are Yamamoto, Shunsui, and Ukitake.

We know that the Shinigami Academy founded by Yamamoto started years ago with Shunsui and Ukitake being the first graduates or something. Therefore, Ukitake, Shunsui, and Yamamoto are well over years old. When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.

I think I remember something about Rukia being years making her 15 years old, but Im not sure about this one. The Byakuya one I've never heard of in my life, so I won't even talk about it. For Rukia, she simply told Ichigo that she "lived 10 of your lives. She wasn't referring to her actual age.

For example, Renji tells ichigo that he was "2, years too early" to challenge him. Now, Renji isn't anywhere near 2, years old. He was just doing what Rukia did in that he was regarding Ichigo as nothing more than a little kid.

User Info: itsyourlife. Actually, going on visible appearances, Gin looked about 11 or 12 while Byakuya looked about And the person who said Byakuya stated he was , this never happened in the anime or manga. A troll off an RP board started spreading this around about a year and a half ago.

Nowhere has Kubo ever stated the numerical age of a Soul in any form. I say soul to count the Hollows The closest he's come is saying for sure that Yamamoto is over a millenium old.

Renji says no as without him, Renji would have no reason to become stronger. They are interrupted by Ichigo and Orihime Inoue, who are searching for Rukia.

After they leave, Byakuya voices his concern about Ichigo. When Renji asks about it, Byakuya responds that he was hoping Ichigo would stop using his first name and that he finds Ichigo to be very disrespectful. Note: Events occurring in this arc are only in the anime and do not constitute canon material. When the Bount threat to Soul Society becomes serious, Byakuya receives a message from Captain-Commander Yamamoto and leaves to meet up with him.

While there, Yamamoto tells Byakuya he believes Captain Kurotsuchi may have betrayed them. He asks Byakuya to check if there is any information on the Bount in the Kuchiki Clan's archive, which Byakuya agrees to do. Byakuya saves Rukia from the Bount Yoshi. Byakuya later attends a captains meeting, where Yamamoto informs the other captains of what Byakuya's search revealed. He is present when a messenger arrives, reporting Rukia is currently fighting a Bount. Byakuya, arriving at the fight, saves Rukia from Yoshi , and has Rukia taken to the Kuchiki Manor to recuperate.

After a brief exchange, Ichigo asks Byakuya to join with him to defeat the Bount, but Byakuya tells him to go back to his world, as the Gotei 13 will take care of the situation in Soul Society.

Later, in a forest in Rukongai , Byakuya encounters the Bount leader Jin Kariya , and the two begin to fight. When Byakuya asks Kariya about his intentions, Kariya tells him he is the most famous captain, and as such, his defeat would shock and demoralize all of Seireitei. Byakuya, dismissing this as nonsense, attacks Kariya, who responds with wind-based attacks, causing Byakuya to become enveloped in a tornado. Continuing to attack relentlessly, they are both enveloped in a tornado of Senbonzakura's blades.

Byakuya, noticing Kariya absorbing Reishi , listens as he explains how Bount can use the abundant Reishi in Soul Society to empower and heal themselves.

Byakuya watches as Ichigo attacks Kariya with his Bankai, and while they are distracted, Byakuya uses his own Bankai to attack, telling Ichigo he is in the way. Kariya admits Byakuya is much better than he thought, but reminds him he can continuously heal. As the trio battle, a large blast catches their attention.

When the smoke clears, Ran'Tao , the creator of the Bounts, emerges. They are all at a stalemate until Koga 's doll, Dalk , attacks them. After the battle, Byakuya, preparing to leave, is asked by Ichigo if Kariya should be followed.

Byakuya tells him he is already gone, and there will be another time to catch him. After Kariya's defeat, Byakuya scolds Renji and Ichigo, who are having an argument in the Kuchiki Manor, for making such a ruckus.

He tells Ichigo that if his business in Soul Society is done, he should head back to the Human World as he does not belong here. Byakuya then leaves and Renji yells at Ichigo because it is his fault Byakuya is now mad at him. Byakuya and Kenpachi retrieve Hitsugaya 's team on Yamamoto 's order. He secretly allows Rukia and Renji to return to the Human World to assist in the rescue of Orihime Inoue , stating he was only ordered to bring them back to Soul Society, and what they chose to do afterwards was none of his concern.

Byakuya is told Rukia and Renji have disappeared, and that the Second Division is looking for them throughout Seireitei. Byakuya, refusing to tell the enemy who he is, asks him if he is the one who injured Rukia.

Zommari tells him he is not the one, but he was going to finish the job. Byakuya, criticizing him for revealing his ability, uses Utsusemi to escape one of Zommari's attacks.

Byakuya responds by severing the tendons of his left leg. Zommari turns his attention to the unconscious Rukia, but Byakuya shields her body with his own. He warns Byakuya to drop his sword, or he will force Rukia to slit her own throat.

Byakuya finishing off Zommari Rureaux. Zommari, begging for mercy, asks him to show some compassion. He angrily shouts at Byakuya that Shinigami are arrogant, taking an unnatural authority to proclaim Hollows as evil. Byakuya, impassive, states he fought him because Zommari attacked Byakuya's pride referring to Rukia and kills him. Byakuya has a lack of interest in the new captain, and when the meeting is over, he simply leaves. Renji asks Byakuya what he is going to do about them, saying there has to be a reason for their actions.

Byakuya tells him it does not matter, as he has no compassion for those who would violate the peace of Soul Society. He gives Renji sole authority over the search party. Shortly thereafter, Hitsugaya and Byakuya are waiting atop of a roof when the 10th Division Lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto arrives, asking what is going on.

He later watches the battle between Amagai and Ichigo. He bears witness to Yoruichi explaining the details behind what truly happened to Amagai's father. Byakuya prevents Ichigo from stopping Amagai from taking his own life, claiming that Amagai "has pride as well". He and the others watch as Amagai destroys himself because of his disgraceful actions. The two captains bicker for a while.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi appears with a cart, which Byakuya asks him about, before opening a Garganta. Ichigo begins to protest again, but Byakuya reminds him that his true duty is to protect Karakura Town, convincing Ichigo to go. Mayuri, assuring him he is not plotting anything, states there are "more interesting" corpses in Hueco Mundo, and he will examine the Human World later.

Byakuya says he is surprised to hear such words coming from Mayuri, since it sounds like he believes in Ichigo and his ability to end the war. Byakuya and Kenpachi prepare to face off against Yammy, in a contest to see who can take him down first. As Byakuya watches Kenpachi take down Yammy, the battle-crazed captain asks Byakuya to finish off Yammy.

Byakuya tells him that is a job for a barbarian like Kenpachi. Yammy, getting back up, fires a Cero at them. They both dodge the Cero, and as they continue to bicker, Byakuya releases his Bankai. He warns the captains that making him angrier is the last thing they want to do, as his release increases in strength the angrier he becomes. The 4th Division immediately responds to their arrival, taking note that while both are standing, they are horribly injured. When the captains take the matter lightly, with Byakuya saying he can easily replace the cheap material, Yamamoto grows even angrier.

The Gotei 13 realize the dangerous situation they are in with Muramasa as an enemy. Byakuya and Renji duel, with many Shinigami looking on. Byakuya dismisses him, saying they are done for the day. Asking Muramasa who he is, he watches as the new enemy declares war on the Shinigami. He is attacked by Senbonzakura , whose Shikai swallows up Byakuya. Byakuya departs with Muramasa and Senbonzakura. Later, Byakuya without his captain haori knocks out a group of guards at the Seireitei records building.

Sometime after this, he, standing on top of a building, watches as Ichigo is attacked by Senbonzakura. When Ichigo notices him, he uses Shunpo and disappears. Appearing to be defecting, he states he is following his inner desires to protect his pride.

Byakuya warns Ichigo to stay away from Muramasa, or he will die. Senbonzakura, Muramasa, and Byakuya depart. Byakuya battling Sode no Shirayuki. Some of the spirits do not want to work with him, as they feel it would go against their original purpose of betraying the Shinigami. Senbonzakura commands his former master to destroy Sode no Shirayuki to prove his loyalty. Thinking he would not do this, the others prepare to attack him. Byakuya surprises them by fighting and defeating Sode no Shirayuki.

Muramasa gives Byakuya a task. Later, in the partially-destroyed Sixth Division offices, Byakuya is found among a pile of bodies by Rukia. Senbonzakura tosses the broken fragments of her sword to Rukia. Renji questions Byakuya before trying to arrest him as a co-conspirator. Eventually, Kenpachi engages Byakuya. After it becomes clear he may lose if he doesn't fight seriously, after just managing to dodge a massive blow's full impact, Byakuya unleashes his Shikai.

Instead, Muramasa brings Byakuya to the location of Yamamoto. He approaches the Captain-Commander, but is impeded by a burst of fiery spiritual energy. Byakuya later witnesses the return of an injured Kazeshini, who openly expresses his unwillingness to risk his life for a Shinigami.

Muramasa thanks Byakuya for leading him to Karakura Town, saying he likely would not have found it without his aid. Byakuya leaves Muramasa's side to confirm that there are no Hollows nearby. Byakuya, with Senbonzakura's assistance, succeeds in destroying several Gillians. Knowing the only way to stop the Gillians is to seal the Garganta, Byakuya decides to use his spiritual energy, reinforced by Senbonzakura's, to seal the portal.

Their allies, upon realizing what they are attempting, join in and add their own Reiatsu, eventually closing the Garganta. After Muramasa dies and apologizes for his mistakes, Byakuya, approaching Ichigo, sincerely thanks him for all he has done. Back in Soul Society, the Gotei 13 is given a day off to party and recover from the recent chaos. Byakuya uses his clan's connections and money to greatly speed up the repairs to Seireitei, and allows his Division to celebrate at his mansion.

After the spirits dispatch one of the intruders and the other flees, Byakuya and Rukia go to Mayuri Kurotsuchi for answers. They explain how they lost contact with the original search team in the Dangai, and that the badge was found at the rendezvous site.

The remaining three captains split up in order to infiltrate the Twelfth Division 's barracks. As the skirmish goes on, Byakuya is forced to fall back. As the Reigai's Shikai pursues him, it proceeds to cut him multiple times, much to his surprise.

Later, as Byakuya perches atop a tower, his Reigai counterpart states his wounds are too severe to allow him to fight any longer. Byakuya continues to fight, releasing his Bankai, [] and defeats the Reigai. He rejoins the other captains as they confront Inaba. Byakuya, pulling back as several Reigai appear before them, uses his Bankai to surround the Reigai, which creates an opening for the other Shinigami to attack, as he tells them to follow through.

Byakuya and the other Shinigami watch as Mayuri fights Inaba. As Inaba releases the Reigai's true power, Byakuya and the other Shinigami prepare to fight them. As the Reigai jump down to attack the captains, Byakuya dodges their initial blows, coming face-to-face with the remade Reigai-Byakuya. As the battle continues, the Reigai, increasing in numbers, become much more dangerous, attacking whomever they see.

The lieutenants arrive and aid the captains, which allows Byakuya to save Yoruichi from a surprise attack by Reigai-Shunsui, despite becoming injured in the process. Byakuya deduces these ideals of relying on nobody and never truly trusting even their allies are traits the Reigai acquired from Inaba.

While Reigai-Hitsugaya is surprised by the captains fighting together, Byakuya states they will do what they must to protect Soul Society.

Byakuya is among those who placed their energy into the sword prepared by Kisuke Urahara to help restore Ichigo's powers. Hitsugaya states he will leave the details until later. Byakuya, blocking Tsukishima's attack with his Shikai, states he despises the way Tsukishima fights, stealing the bonds of camaraderie and torturing opponents, which he views as the height of cowardice.

Tsukishima inserts his presence into a part of the ground using Book of the End , creating a trap which Byakuya subsequently triggers. Amazed Tsukishima has learned so much about his abilities, Byakuya surmises that even his Bankai attacks will have no effect on Tsukishima, to which the Fullbringer agrees. While Tsukishima mocks Byakuya, he calmly picks up the severed blade and drops it with his sword, activating his Bankai. Knowing where Tsukishima will strike, Byakuya takes the risk of allowing his blades to enter the " Hurtless Area ".

While Tsukishima applauds Byakuya's ingenuity and improved speed with his Bankai, he exploits the Bankai's speed by moving close enough to let the blades injure Byakuya's arm. Byakuya, grabbing some of Senbonzakura' s blades, throws them through Tsukishima's chest. Admitting he enjoyed fighting in a situation where preparation was irrelevant, Byakuya thanks Tsukishima for a joyful battle as the Fullbringer collapses. Byakuya admits he regrets not being able to repay him, but has no remorse for Tsukishima, as he is Ichigo's enemy.

He later finds the unconscious Rukia. Along with the other captains, he looks on as Ichigo breaks apart the last remaining pocket dimension with his Bankai. Byakuya reminds her they were only tasked with observing Ichigo and his decision. He prepares to activate his Bankai in an attempt to discover what seal the Wandenreich use to suppress them.

He further details that this fear is a result of a unique ability administered by its Heilig Pfeil. The Quincy explains that this fear is real and not based on reason, and therefore it is not something one can overcome. He uses the blades to attack Byakuya, shredding the captain with his own power. Renji attempts to intervene using his own Shikai. The storm of blades is so powerful, it sends Byakuya crashing into a nearby wall. Ichigo arrives in Soul Society and immediately speaks to Byakuya about Rukia and Renji, assuring him they are alive.

Knowing he will succumb to his wounds soon, Byakuya admits to Ichigo he is ashamed of letting the enemy invade Soul Society, and regrets letting them kill many Shinigami, causing them, their subordinates, and their families to suffer.
