Also Can We Appreciate The Fact That Kazui Actually Knows About Shinigami (and Probably About The Soul

Also can we appreciate the fact that Kazui actually knows about shinigami (and probably about the Soul Society, Hollows, etc..) because Ichigo and Orihime took the time to tell him about everything. Like…Ichigo was never told about his heritage, and ended up in the situation with Grand Fisher when he was younger because no one ever told him what hollows were. 

But with Kazui it will never be like that, because Ichigo and Orihime want to keep their precious son safe, and that involves letting him know about the world around him.  

Like…Imagine Kazui knows about Soul Society and Hueco Mundo because he’s heard hundreds of stories from his parents about it. Ichigo’s probably told him several times about his first meeting with Rukia, his fight with Kenpachi, how hard he fought to keep Orihime safe. And Orihime probably told Kazui about how she awakened her powers, her healing everybody, her confession to Ichigo. 

And Kazui knowing he’ll always be safe and happy because of how strong, courageous, and loving his parents are. 

What captains think about in their captain meetings

As requested by anon. :)

We already imagined what the espada think about in their meetings. But what might be on the captains’ minds during theirs?

1. Unohana

“Murder.”

“Murder.”

“Murder.”

“I really need to tell Isane what a nice job she did with those pillow covers. They are making all of the patients so happy, and that is so important.”

“Murder.”

2. Kensei

“I wonder what Mashiro is doing right now. Getting into trouble, probably.”

“Ugh she drives me nuts! Why did I want her to be my lieutenant again?”

“And Shuhei had better be working. Not daydreaming about Matsumoto like usual.”

“I need to get back to those idiots.”

“Why is Soi Fon glaring at me?”

3. Soi Fon

“Ugh. Kensei never pays attention in these meetings.”

“Of course, he’s a visored. Associated with Urahara Kisuke, so naturally he’s trouble.”

“I can’t BELIEVE the head captain let those visored come back.”

“Man, these meetings would be so much better if Yoruichi-sama had come back instead of those idiots.”

“I hope she does come back. She’ll see how strong I am. Love me. Be beautiful. Be - SOI FON STOP IT PAY ATTENTION!”

4. Aizen

“If only you knew, head captain, that during this meeting, I have come up with the next eleven steps of my plan.”

“And I narrated my own actions to myself the whole time. Because I am a multitasker”

“Aizen thought to himself. Smugly.”

“I can feel you watching me, Gin.”

“This meeting would be so much better with tea.”

5. Gin

“I will kill you dead, Aizen Sosuke.”

“Now that I know your weakness, I could do it anytime.”

“I could even do it…..right now.”

“But nah.”

“Never hurts to wait a while.”

5. Kenpachi

“This is dumb.”

“I don’t even know what’s going on.”

“Why do we even have these meetings?”

“Instead of meetings, we should all just fight each other.”

“I’d fight Kuchiki Byakuya so hard. That would be so awesome.”

6. Byakuya

“I can feel your eyes on me, barbarian.”

“I am going to have take such a long bath.”

“Hitsugaya is still wearing that scarf. Took the idea from me, of course.”

“I am a fashion icon.”

“Recognize.”

7. Hitsugaya

“Holyshitholyshitholyshit Kuchiki is looking at me.”

“Stand up straight, Hitsugaya. Be tall. Look smart.”

“As tall as you can, anyway.”

“Stop that! No short jokes in your own head!”

“I wonder if Kuchiki would be amused if I told him a short joke.”

“Maybe I should try that. One day.”

8. Komamura

“What an excellent point the head captain has made.”

“He is very wise as well as very strong.”

“I am glad that we can have these meetings so that I can see true leadership in action.”

“I hope that he is proud of me.”

“Maybe one day….he will pat me on the head as I have always dreamed.”

9. Shinji

“I did not miss these meetings. Ugh. It’s like being in school. Only standing up.”

“Like, at least in high school we had desks.”

“Although at least the head captain doesn’t give us homework. Homework sucks.”

“Okay well at least the meeting must be almost over. It’s been…….FIVE MINUTES?!?”

“I won’t survive this.”

10. Tosen

“I hate listening to you speak, Yamamoto Genryusai.”

“All you speak are lies.”

“There is no justice here.”

“There is no justice anywhere.”

“Except maybe with Komamura.”

11. Kyoraku

“I hope Ukitake is doing okay. Looks a bit wobbly.”

“I should go and have tea with him later. See how he’s doing.”

“If Nanao-chan will give me the time off, anyway!”

“Look at all these youngsters. Paying such good attention.”

“Hopefully no one can tell I’m not listening.”

12. Kurotsuchi

“I wonder what Komamura’s brain looks like.”

“If I gave Unohana my new adrenaline drug, would she snap and kill everyone, or just go after Kenpachi?”

“This meeting is going a ridiculously long time. I should make some more time drugs.”

“Maybe one to speed up time for these meetings. And one that stops time, just for fun.”

“Now which captain could I trick into testing them for me?”

13. Rose

“They say that if you imagine the end of a song, it will no longer be stuck in your head.”

“But what if it’s a song you’re writing, and it doesn’t have an end yet?”

“Then I guess it just stays in your head forever.”

“Like pain. And grief.”

“I wonder if bone would make a good guitar pick.”

14. Ukitake

“I’m so glad I felt well enough to be here!”

“A little wobbly, but that is okay.”

“Pretty sure Kiyone and Sentaro are right outside, so if I faint, they’ll come and collect me.”

“I should have tea with Kyoraku later. See how he’s doing.”

“Hopefully I’ll be well enough for that.”

Happy birthday to the shinigami that's been in the series from beginning to end, Rukia Kuchiki! One more year of being older than all of my living relatives, yet looking better than any of them. A wonderful, fantastic character me and so many others love, write, read, watch, and think about so much.

Ever I began Bleach and experienced what it had to offer, Rukia's been one of my favorite female characters ever to a lot of people. The way that she lived her life through different stages and created meaningful connections with those she met, her heart inspires me. What she presents through her actions is something I wrote about once about her themes.

“We must not shed tears. That is the defeat of the body by the heart. Because, for us, this thing called ‘the heart’ can become nothing less than proof that one’s existence is superfluous.”

Happy Birthday Rukia!

What could have been....Uryu vs Senjumaru to see who is the best tailor of Bleach.....

I don’t know which volume this poem is from, it still puts in words the dynamics of Ichigo’s and Uryu’s unique bond. Especially in TYBW where you have Ichigo stepping into a more dominant role to stop Yhwach, while Uryu submits himself to Yhwach for his own plan. Hope there’s more parallels about these two in the next 2 Cours.

We are drawn to each other like drops of water, like the planets. We repulse each other like magnets, like the colors of our skin.

Absolutely love this, your art style is so immaculate on expressing Young Unohana and Minazuki.
