Not only is my reply "no", you definitely can go om nom my giblets. Those arguments lasted days and they are forever burned in my memory.And, Apparantly, Byakuya defeated the 0 Espada with Kenpachi so obviously, there's a strength comparison to be had.
I knew I wasn't lying.
Deja vu. We've had this conversation before. Byakuya wasn't flexing his rieryoku nearly as much as he could, at the moment...just the same as Kenpachi wasn't because he still had his eye patch on. If you want maximum reiatsu flexing...that would be full power bankai on top of execution hill. Since Kenpachi comes no where close to releasing that much reiatsu any anything he's done, he cannot have greater reiatsu. At least, not until he can use his bankai.
Incorrect. "Flexing" it is actually using it to power up very similar to DBZ characters. When Yamamoto finally flexed his, it caused a Lieutenant to collapse, and he wasn't directing it at any particular person. The same with Ichigo when he was approaching Byakuya and Rukia on the bridge (cept he can't help it because he has so much of it).
You can actually increase or decrease your reiatsu by strengthening how much rieryoku you are flexing.
Byakuya would be in the range of Kenpachi, in the rieryoku power stores, at a minimum.
Official databook puts him at 90 in offense and Kenpachi at 100, so it's not as though I do not have a canon source for my stance.
2. I am not saying Byakuya is definitely weaker than Kenpachi. Overall, they are similar in power, IMO. Also, yes, while they fought together, Kenpachi attacking Yammy with his eyepatch on did the same amount of damage as Byakuya did using his Bankai, as seen here:

http://www.mangareader.net/94-40673-3/bleach/chapter-383.html
So Byakuya with his Bankai dished out as much damage as Kenpachi with his eyepatch did.
2. More than anything Kenpachi has done? You mean this:

http://www.mangareader.net/94-621-2/bleach/chapter-167.html
Right?
Let us compare it to this:

So, Ichigo and Byakuya put on a little light-show in their clash, but Kenpachi and Ichigo's level dozens of large buildings surrounding them, and Byakuya's is more impressive? Nah man, nah.
Oh and do note that the captains have clearly gotten stronger, so said feats are obsolete at the moment.
Oh, and this reminds me, you have at times used Byakuya being uninjured by Renji's Bankai (Or was it Shikai?) to prove that Byakuya has as much ore more Reitsu than Kenpachi. Kenpachi was able to take a punch from Yammy, and was barely hurt, and he was able to stop Nnoitra's blade with his palm, as well as a Cero from him. That's above anything Byakuya has to his name in terms of durability.
3. Okay. Can you prove that though? I mean, I get you are arguing "Their power increases," but I did not see anything proving that statement. Yamamoto directed his power towards them, he did not simply release it.
4. I see you saying that. I do not really see it being proven. Especially when an attack from Byakuya with Bankai and eyepatch Kenpachi has much the same effect, ****ing up Yammy's face. If we were to use Databooks, Toshiro would be stronger than Ukitake. And despite Blax's inevitable "Well he is" comment, I believe we both know that is not the case. If we WERE to use databooks though, Byakuya would have a 70 in physical strength, compared to Kenpachi's 100. Offensive power is not merely in terms of melee potential.
If Byakuya wins this fight, it will not be through slugging it out with Kenpachi.
