Affinity #27 - You're Kenny's #1 Fan! (Ichigo & Yachiru)














One of Ichigo's very first obstacles upon entering the Soul Society as a Ryoka was fending off against various Shinigami. One such opponent was Kenpachi Zaraki, Captain of the 11th Division. This epic fight would conclude in a draw, but Kenpachi Zaraki, admitting Ichigo was a worthy opponent, gave Ichigo the victory despite Ichigo falling down first. Yachiru, Kenpachi's lieutenant, bows before Ichigo before departing with Kenpachi, a sign of respect and admiration for the Ryoka. Yachiru is the most playful and childish Shinigami, but looks are to be deceiving as shown when she got pissed when interrupted by a messenger. She is already fond of Ichigo because Kenpachi took a keen interest in Ichigo's power and resolve. Ichigo doesn't really that much about Yachiru other than the fact that she's the lieutenant of the 11th Division. You can say that Ichigo & The 11th Division have their respects and admiration for one another - both fought equally and as a result - they look up to one another and hope either don't get killed by someone stronger. Yachiru genuinely cares for Kenpachi and Ichigo's safety and hopes they one day fight again because they're her two favorite people (she likes teasing others). Yachiru sees Ichigo as a friend because if Kenny likes them (Yachiru's nickname for him), then Yachiru likes them. It's all about admiration and respect when it comes to Ichigo & Yachiru.
