Does byakuya in any point of the anime or manga die?
Too bad there arent spoiler tags in PC. o.o
Byakuya hasn't died in the manga so far. As a matter of fact, he hasn't shown up ever since he was sent to that hospital after Aizen left with the Menos. Same goes for Ishida. He sorta disappeared after his father, Ryuken (who calls himself the most powerful Quincy ever), stuck him in a room of mirrors and began shooting arrows at him.
In the manga, Ichigo is just trying to learn how to control his Hollow with the help of the Vizards at the moment.
