So at the very beginning of the current Bleach arc, these two were comically introduced as being the guardians of Ichigo's hometown of Karakura, replacing Afroman Zennosuke Kurumadani. The guy is named Ryunosuke Yuki and the chick is named Shino. Ryunosuke is a timid looking Shinigami whereas Shino is more outspoken and isn't afraid to scold Ryunosuke. So why bring these two up at all? Well, as you recall, Bleach has many Affinities and I'm covering pretty much every single one of them despite if their canon to the series or fillers. Now this is canon to Bleach, but their development as characters is more of an introduction to the arc itself rather than a fleshed out character from the get-go. I find their chemistry much like the cliche opposite attract romantic comedies you see. Do they like each other? Does Shino's outspokenness truly reveal that she may have feelings for Ryunosuke? Does Ryunosuke's timid nature truly a call out for help towards Shino? Am I reading way too much into this? Yes, I am. If they recurred more in the Manga, then I'd say a lot more, but for now ~ their just supportive of the main heroes.
I hope you enjoyed this week's Affinity. Look forward to Affinities every Tuesday. BCC Posts Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays. RBTs (Random Bleach Thoughts) on Thursdays. Throwbacks on Fridays. Until then, you all stay classy now.
Later, I'll be posting the in-depth criteria on BCC.
