Byakuya Kuchiki and Zaraki Kenpachi have both had their ups and downs, especially when rivaling up against each other. They both seem to go up against each other most often than not as, they see each other as opponents to prove who’s the stronger out of them. Byakuya has shown that he can be very strong, but Zaraki hasn’t even touched his limits, so who do you think is stronger?
Both have been up against each other from the start, they have gone up against their own opponents in order to prove who the strongest is from them. The most significant fight which proved that they were both rivals was during their battle against Espada 0, Yammy Llargo! They were both annoyed at the fact that Yammy kept getting in their way, with a few slashes both of them destroyed and paralyzed Yammy, we saw the end of him at this point.
The incredible image above was drawn by Sideburn004, the image was inspired to her by Chapter 382. She’s done a fantastic job of drawing therefore it’s only right for you to check her out.

Hmm, I always thought of this as the closest bleach match. They’re both just sooo tough! Zaraki has a ton of stamina and will keep on fighting to the end. I’d say that he’s physically stronger than Byakuya, but Byakuya is a lot faster. Zaraki seemed to do better this arc. He defeated 3 guys, while Byakuya couldn’t defeat one.
That hurts his case, but I do think that Byakuya would win this round. It would be incredibly close, but having a bankai is a huge +

If and when Zaraki gains his Shikai (Name) (and/or Bankai) with the help of Yachiru Unohana Kenpachi then he’s definately going to be a head of Byakuya and most other Capts….
Yeah physically yeah, mentally nop… Although he does learn from matches and stuff… He just gets bored and starts slashing left and right…

Yeah, once she trains him, then he’ll most likely pass Byakuya and the others by a large margin. If she is as powerful as they’ve been hinting, Unohana is going to greatly increase Zaraki’s power. So, if you ever make like a sequel battle for this once that happens, I’ll most likely be switching to Zaraki. For now though, I think Byakuya still has the slight edge

I think Byukuya is stronger than Zaraki for now, but when Zaraki masters shikia and bankia he would win.

Agree, although Zaraki’s raw power already matches Byakuya, it’s just that Byakuya has techniques and such that will lead him to win….

It will release next week, because of the Christmas holidays and stuff, it’s been postponed quite a bit…
Hmm maybe 😛 If he learns the name of his zanpakutou, it’s likely to go all new again 😀

I could see .byakuya with 2 zans senbonakura and another one which would compliment senbonsakuras abilities like how hisagi uses his zan and kido to make it stronger

Hmm interesting, I too think that Byakuya is strong but if Zaraki knows how to use his Zanpakutou, then he’s going to lead
