Why the fuck do I gotta make one of these posts? This literal exact same post has been made a million times. Is this like a right of passage?
“Enter here, ye who would carry the mantle of IchiRuki, prove thy worth and test thy might.”
Fine, fuck it. Briefly, and by no means comprehensively:
If you and someone you have a “deep bond” with look at each other like this (and they regard the people who hurt you with murderous rage, or vice versa) then you need to have a serious conversation with your Significant Other.
(Also, Rukia, please, “I forbade you to come!” Talk like that shouldn’t be used in public, especially not in front of your brother.)
While I’m here:
Ichigo equated death with the end of his suffering, and felt that Kisuke had made a mistake in rescuing him, as he wasn’t worthy of living after failing to protect Rukia. Succeeding in doing so also ended his suffering and reaffirmed the value of his life.
They saved each other’s lives physically several times, but much more importantly, they saved each other’s lives spiritually and psychically. They each
asserted and affirmed there was value in the other’s life.
