Bleach 109 Discussion

[Animeniax]

Sweet, 10 neg reps in a row and I'm still under -500. The people who neg rep me must have little rep power. Shows how much I should listen to them.

I'm just worried you people are so hyped up that the fillers are over that if they don't end next week, then the bashing and whining begins again, just like with the Naruto fillers. I don't think I could take another round of that.

109 was a great episode, with a lot of material from the past and some for the future. I always wished they had expanded more on the past material. That'd be a great way to make each anime episode cover fewer manga chapters so there could be more anime episodes. Like I always felt Rukia got busted by the shinigami too soon, so there wasn't enough time to develop her relationship with Ichigo. So when Ichigo goes to SS to save her, I'm like, why does he care so much, they hardly know each other. Plus, her living in his closet was too funny.

cause he thought rukia was gonna die ( which she was ), ichigo doesnt abbandon his friends, also his name means protector, or something ( no not strawberry), he was compelled to save her =D

[Kraco]

Left to right, the Western way.

Also, I believe Inoue answered that question best: Rukia not only saved Ichigo's life but changed his world by granting him the power to defend and fight for his friends. So, she's a very important person for him. Even if they haven't known each other for such a long time, Rukia changed profoundly Ichigo's life, and it was for the better, like Ichigo himself said.

Some one give Kraco a bone, cause that dog sure dug up the truth. What Kraco said is right, not only did she save and change his life she gave him some place that he belongs and could actually do something with his powers. You could say that she was the first person to truly see him for what he is. Also she saved his family or a better way to put it she gave him a way in which to protect them, where as he was powerless to protect his mother.

Remember he use to be a really cheerful kid and he wanted to protect his Mom, cause no matter the what the situation was she was one that brought a smile to his face.

/me gives Kraco a KitKat home made cookie...... don't tell her i was lurking in her oven.....

Sometimes I kept seeing Rukia as a pedophile... she is way older than Ichigo (hehehe).

But yeah, she must mean a lot to him. He did go to Soul Society to save her (duh to Dragon Rage, hehe)

/me steals all the KitKat home made cookies that Dumbass stole, and eats em.


EDIT:
grammar

[JaySee]

Well, she does have similarities to R.Kelly. You know... being trapped in a closet and all. =D

I have always thought Rukia liked Ichigo but being from the two different societies she put her self under the impression it could never work out. Her "brother" just seems to re-enforce that Idea every time he forces Ichigo out of Soul Society because he "Doesn't belong here."

Sometimes I kept seeing Rukia as a pedophile... she is way older than Ichigo (hehehe).

I Thought of that too, it just kinda makes me laugh and think of Ichigo as a MILF Hunter.

/me wishes he had some homemade KitKat cookies, The taste still lingers lingers from the last time he ate the delicious fruit of her labor.

[Deadfire]

/me has had Kitkat cookies, brownies and other baked goods before (In real life BTW)

Rukia's attitude towards Ichigo varies throughout the series. At times, she is a bickering adversary, and at other times, she worries about him and dispatches advice like a wise old sage. Most scenes are shown with her and Ichigo yelling and making faces at each other. Despite these quarells, the two have a deep understanding of each other, often being the only ones able to talk each other out of a event. However, there is a deeply serious side to Rukia as well, best shown during the time she was taken back to Soul Society for giving her powers to Ichigo. In her time in Soul Society, which she spent in various holding cells, she is constantly seen resigned to her fate or in deep thought. She and Ichigo also have similar feelings of loss and guilt. Ichigo thought he was responsible for his mother's death and Rukia's execution. Rukia thought she was responsible for the death of Kaien Shiba and considered Ichigo's death (Because she thought he died) her fault. These two are very much a like, however I'm thinking that it's more friendship or comradeship then anything else.

However I could be wrong and looking at it the wrong way...
