Question: who stronger byakuya or kenpachi?
Answer: Sure Byakuya has bankai and shikai and hes some what ranged, but Kenpachi does not get hurt that easily. ... If Kenpachi were to able to use his sword's shikai and bankai it would be far stronger (strength-wise) than Byakuya because of the enormous reiatsu he owns. Well both have strength and weakness.
