They're bond isn't some cringe teenage relationship but a best friend to lover relationship Best open comment sort options add a comment 612marion • Urahara found rukia whom he can hide it inside and let it disappear forever when she dies with it and took the chance to do so Maybe aizen predicted all that and sent the rukia to him because of it. Rukia was handled super well, and is one of the best written female characters in all of jump We're shown at the start that rukia is able to fight evenly with a hollow, and that she's willing to sacrifice herself for others
She spends the arc teaching ichigo about shinigami and playing support Then she once again sacrifices herself for ichigo. Everyone knows that ichigo should ended up with rukia, the quimic is there, the dinamic is impressive and the tomboysh of rukia just make it better, cmon, ichiruki 4eva If you look at ichigo’s interactions with rukia and his interactions with orihime, it’s clear who he was going to end up with Ichigo was constantly bickering with rukia whereas most of ichigo’s interactions with orihime just felt warm and wholesome. I dont know who agrees with me, but ichigo and rukias' dynamic is one of the best depictions of a platonic relationship.
Even orihime's namesake is a mark of her plastic, wannabe personality Rukia on the other hand aint even trying and she's easily the coolest female character in bleach, and probably most shounen. Rukia pretty much knew the bond between orihime and ichigo was special that she specifically had ichigo apologize to her and promise to fight harder and become a stronger man I love many of the great moments between ichigo and rukia, but those scenes are clearly supposed to be them being close friends. Rukia isn't even that old She's around her 60's and 70's
40 years before she's sent on her mission to the world of the living, she was adopted by byakuya 10 years before that, she was a kid Literally around 10 years old The flashback with renji and her now deceased friends Yeah, rukia isn't even close to 150 Rukia defends orihime one of my favorite moments featuring rukia would have to be when she stands up for orihime, which is probably due to my shipping heart
