Throwback #27 - The Hero & Savior (Ichigo & Rukia)

One of my personal favorite scenes in all of Bleach is Ichigo's meeting with Rukia. It was so symbolic and it started our journey. It would be known later on that Ichigo's Shinigami powers were taken from him, but he was unaware that just behind him, a smile and an old friend would resurrect our fallen hero to kick some more ass. Rukia's influence on Ichigo is one of the primary themes in Bleach - how one can affect another person positively and change his destiny. Rukia's coincidental meeting with Ichigo may have started our journey, but it was bound by destiny that these two would remain loyal, comedic, and dutiful in the obligations as Shinigami. I love Rukia not only because she got cuter and cuter as time caught on, but the idea of her friendship with Ichigo is that of Captain & Lieutenant. Rukia is willing to put her life on the line for a dear friend - her protector, hero, and friend, Ichigo Kurosaki. Ichigo did the same in his shoes when he sacrificed his "kinda sorta" normal life to aid Rukia against the tyranny of the Hollow attacks. Although I emphasized I'm a huge Ichihime fan, this couple/affinity of Ichigo & Rukia should not be missed as well.

I hope you enjoyed this week's Throwback (which looks more like an Affinity). Until then, you all stay classy now!
