So there should be no intelligent reason to attack the doll if it's possible to attack the master. Of course Ichigo & company never did that, but Byakuya did it right away, demonstrating the difference between a high-school student and a nobleman.
Well, it might be extremely difficult, but its still a weakness. Kariya seems to be a tough cookie though. His Doll has no physical embodiment that one can attack directly, or does it?

Sweet episode. Aside from the minor animation glitches, this episode really got me excited. Although I would've liked Byakuya and Kariya to carry on a little more.
