Zaraki Kenpachi vs. Kuchiki Byakuya

[Quotable]

This is going to start an AWESOME debate, my friends!-lol-

Zaraki Kenpachi, rumored to be the strongest of the 13 Squad Captains...one who eliminates all advantages and enjoys the thrill of taking physical damage. The man who's true power has yet to be truly revealed due to his savage nature and blatant refusal to fight with regard to his physical health...one who intentionally takes on physical abuse to make a fight worth fighting...

-vs-

Kuchiki Byakuya, the man who defeated Ichigo and regarded as the most popular man in Rugonki. The man who's taken Ichigo's new Bankai on head first and never flinched...the man who always bares a serious expression and treats every fight as his last. One who takes no chances and spares no mercy to any enemy.

One life, one fight, WHO WILL WIN?!

Bring it on, my friends...I'll be refereeing and, of course, providing factual counter arguments for any flawed argument of either side-lol- Yes I posses no bias and will not be making a choice-lol-

"LET'S GET IT ON!"

umm....but didnt byakuya get pwnd and he did flinch......

Kuchiki Byakuya did lose to ichy.

[Quotable]

He never got owned and he didn't finch-lol- Ichi did a lot of it, however. Maybe he was surprised, however, he applied the pressure like a full-court press regardless. Come on, people, let's get a good debate in here.

Now tell us why.

[Walbuls]

Zaraki Kenpachi would win. His spirit power is just so much higher it would blow away Kuchiki Byakuya's bankai without a problem.

zaraki pwns all and if he were to get his shikai...well byakuya is dead if he were to get bankai omg all hell would break loose so if kenpachi had those hed beat am no problem without itll be a close match

I think it would probably end in a draw. Byakuya has his bankai, but Kenpachi counters that with his high spirit power and recklessness as Byakuya's bankai is about draining the physical strength of the enemy until the opponent get paralyzed and with Kenpachi's spirit power Byakuya will need to drawout the fight for a LONG time (as Kenpachi's spirit force is clearly greater then Ichigo's).

(correct me for error as im pretty sure there is some )

You're actually right according to his fight with Ichigo...we don't know right now during this season, however. The truth is, not only was Kenpachi's riatsu actually larger...it was a LOT denser. The sheer pressure of his riatsu was drowning Ichigo...Ichigo won due to Kenpachi's wish for a good fight. I believe Kenpachi lost on purpose...so he'd have an opponent to fight again later-lol- Otherwise, he'd have no match unless he attacked Aizen or the Captain Commander directly.

However, this post does not include Byakuya...who happened to face off against Ichigo's Bankai and not only live through it...he literally walked away from the fight after his Zanpaktou was broken. Isn't it possible that he still had the riatsu reserves to fight? It would be like fighting Yoruichi...who won't even use her Zanpaktou.
