(Hello, I'm Hanna- been an admirer of your icons for a while. :D)
I honestly thought, disregarding any narrative reasons here because it's hard to analyse Bleach's inconsistent one, that he wouldn't kill Byakuya simply because his readership is going to plummet as a result.
It was a shitty death too...killed by his own motherfucking sword's power, it doesn't suit his character at all, it doesn't fit, it doesn't make sense, I can rant about this shit all day. I may be extra sore because he's one of my favourites, but I've been estranged from the fandom long enough to somewhat form an objective opinion.
Yeah, that's what I'm most pissed about. Byakuya's death seems so cheap, so unfitting and degrading. He deserved a better death than that. How is it that every other character we've seen so far has surivied worse - but oh, suddenly when Byakuya gets his hand cut off and is bleeding, he DIES? Tsukishima, a HUMAN, survived a hole blasted through his chest. Hiyori survived being cut in half (though with help). I just...I was absolutely assured that Byakuya wouldn't be killed simply because he's so popular - but I guess Kubo has nothing to lose now, since this is his last arc. I guess he doesn't care that his readership will plummet.

Sigh.
