Affinity #42 - Quincy & Bount (Uryu & Yoshino)

Well Well Well, Uryu seems to be getting a little action in the picture seen. During the Bount Arc in Bleach, Uryu plays a much more pivotal role than Ichigo since the antagonists, the Bount, needed to use Uryu's abilities in order for their plan to invade the Soul Society to work. It doesn't change the fact that Ichigo fought the main Antagonist, Jin Kariya, but Uryu plays the main protagonist in this arc (in my opinion and making Ichigo the Deuteragonist). Yoshino, the Bount seen in the picture, was Kariya's wife and she saved Uryu ~ explaining the Bount's intentions as well as Jin's overall grand scheme. The Bounts aren't taken back by Yoshino's betrayal in aiding Uryu and, instead, attack her and eventually Yoshino herself is killed by her former lover, Jin. What I like about this Affinity is the lengths an enemy would go to save someone else ~ she isn't villainous or even downright corrupt. Yoshino seems to be a kind-hearted Bount that had lost her way and working alongside the Bounts wasn't getting anywhere. Maybe, Yoshino saw something in Uryu (hint: in picture) and maybe her destiny could possibly change for the better and you have to remember, Uryu (in my opinion) saw Yoshino as a maternal figure OR possible love interest. When Yoshino was killed, Uryu, deeply saddened by this loss, wanted revenge against Jin. Uryu's image of a maternal figure are not shattered because of Jin, but what it could've been if Yoshino survived. An affinity no less, but it's much more than that ~ a woman (Yoshino) who had lost her way and wanted a hero (Uryu) to change her fate and thwart the Bounts.

I hope you enjoyed this week's Affinity (Despite it being a filler arc, I dug this Affinity). Look forward to Affinities every Tuesday. As always, you all stay classy now.
