Throwback #53 - Resolve to get Stronger (Renji)

During Ichigo's training w/Yoruichi, Renji took it upon himself to achieve Bankai. As seen in the picture, we see a determined Renji alongside his manifested Zanpaktou, Zabimaru. Renji serves as one of Ichigo's closest allies and his achieving of Bankai was of means to try and surpass Byakuya Kuchiki, his superior and the one who took Rukia away from him. Renji, after having realized Ichigo wasn't the enemy, now joins him in aiding in Rukia's rescue. Though imperfect, Renji utilized his Bankai in battle against Byakuya, but was unaware of the extent of Byakuya's Bankai. Worlds apart, Byakuya was ale to defeat Renji even with his Bankai. Renji continuously has gotten stronger & even garnered respect from the very man he hated. Renji's upbringing wasn't the best, but meeting Rukia changed his life and it through his meeting with Ichigo, he now has a purpose in life, someone to call family, and the resolve to get stronger to protect his friends.
