In the Bleach manga-volume 57, chapter 502, page 56-you see

My question is: is Byakuya _really_ dead, here, or does he come back and
whatnot? This scene _looks_ as though he is, but we've seen desperate
situations-like this-in the past chapters (or episodes) of Bleach where the
character isn't **truly** dead; they come back later making a dramatic
entrance, looking even more badass than before. See what I mean?

This **_CAN'T_** be the end for Byakuya Kuchiki. It just can't!

In the Bleach manga, does Byakuya really die in Bleach 502?


You should probably just live with the dramatic tension as you keep reading
through the series. That being said...

The short answer:

> He gets better.

The slightly longer answer:

> He gets better. And gets a power-up.

The longer, more detailed answer:

> He hangs on by a thread. And then Squad Zero--recall we heard about them
> during the Turn Back The Pendulum arc--shows up when the Quincies leave. One
> of them takes Byakuya and a few others with them up to the Royal Palace.
> Byakuya and a few others then get healed up, equipped, and trained in the
> Royal Palace.

I left a fair amount of details out of the above, so some things won't be
spoiled, but it still spoils a fair amount even in its vague brevity.

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't die here.

> He was saved by the zero division.

And he shows up in chapter 655.
