Did I hear that right - I must be dreaming, right? Our very own Rukia Kuchiki has achieved Bankai.....bound to happen eventually. But the name of her Bankai, Hakka No Togame, just sounds so badass. Once again Rukia showcases that she is a forced to be reckoned with and all she needed was a boost from her Nii-sama. Both the Kuchiki siblings undergone rigorous and meticulous training during their absence and it clearly shows - they aren't going done without a fight. The chapter can be summed up pretty easily like this - Byakuya shows up, reassures Rukia to not be afraid, and BOOM - Bankai time. Like what I did there, pretty damn short of a synopsis, but hey - that's what this chapter is all about. It wasn't about Byakuya showing off what he is capable of, but rather implementing the idea that Rukia has to step her game up, not fear the enemy, and that the fear reflected in As Nodt's face is indeed the manifestation of his own fear. Rukia, with Nii-Sama's reassurance, released her Bankai and large pillar of white dawns over the battlefield. I like this chapter because it is emphasizing that Rukia isn't no pushover and that her abilities have excelled, garnering the attention of her brother's praise of her abilities. Byakuya may steal the show, but he wants to give the benefit of the doubt to Rukia herself - who needs to put good use to her training. I would've liked to see more, but then again - it is still yet unknown what Rukia's Bankai can really do AND if As Nodt is really dead. I'm going to give this week's chapter a A-, I'm looking forward to seeing more of Rukia. As always, look forward to WBCR(s) every Wednesday (unless specified) and Bleach Hakusho posts every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, & Sunday from February-end of March. Stay classy Bleach fans.
The 7th Bleach Hakusho post will be up later.
