I Wonder If His Status As A Low-ranking Noble And How He Saw The Difference Between Nobility And Regular

Child of Demeter Congratulations and welcome to cabin 4! You are a demigod child of Demeter, goddess of the harvest and agriculture, presiding over crops, grains, food, and the fertility of the earth. As such you have a natural inclination toward the culinary arts and possess the ability to control plants, sense them, and make them grow faster. Additionally, but in rare cases, you might be able to teleport through plants and summon Karpoi and Satyrs to your aid. Something you can look forward to is working on the strawberry fields alongside cabin 12 and enjoying the first ripe strawberries.

Not bad, the quiz had some fun questions. I'll tag my mutuals if they want to try it out.

child of zeus Congratulations and welcome to cabin 1! You are a demigod child of Zeus, the king of the gods and ruler of the sky. Aside from being more likely to die before the 6th grade, you possess the ability to summon storms and rain clouds and perhaps even shoot lightning and electricity! Children of Zeus have enhanced leadership qualities and naturally assume positions of responsibility in whatever group they are in. Much rests upon your shoulders!

If Ukitake saw Rukia's bankai

By サファイア

I don’t know what made me want to do this. It just seemed adorable in my head.

Thanks for liking my response to saitouh assuming you remember she hates orihime because she couldn’t fulfill her promises how would you have responded

Thanks for asking this! I wasn't expecting this to be my first ask to answer.

First off, the whole thing on responding to someone whose really adamant on their opinions is something I preferably wouldn't want to do, since it usually leads to back and forth arguing. It's just something I got tired of since there wouldn't be a clear resolution to it.

However, if I did respond to them, I would point out many characters in Bleach and in fiction don't really fulfill their promises due to outside factors or their own flaws so why hate Orihime for not being able to fulfill her promises? I would either blame the plot or Kubo since he wanted things to escalate and have Orihime at a breaking point of where she feels powerless.

There was also incorrect claims Saitouh made like Orihime barely knowing Ichigo which isn't true? Before he became a shinigami, he and Orihime were on friendly terms and then in Orihime's manga introduction, she and Tatsuki talk about Ichigo's surface personality.

So I would point out the flaws in their reasons on why they hate Orihime and highlight the main points on Orihime's character that Saitouh didn't get. I don't really know Saitouh that much so I wouldn't really focus on personal jabs on them since that doesn't really help in getting my point across. That's basically how I would respond.

Hope that helps!

Bleach characters, Ichigo has decided to quit being a soul reaper and go to college instead! Your reactions?

As requested by anon. :)

Hisagi: Awwww….I kinda *liked* the universe.

Soi Fon: Kurosaki is abandoning the fight now? Ridiculous.

Soi Fon: If he had learned the importance of duty and assassination when he was little, like a normal child, this would not be happening now.

Urahara: Actually, children in the human world learn things like coloring and counting! Not murder!

Soi Fon: No wonder humans are so weak.

Chad: Ichigo, I support education, but are you sure you want to *completely* give up being a soul reaper?

Chad: When you lost your powers, you were not happy.

Ishida: Plus, the universe tends to need you, Kurosaki! You have obligations!

Orihime: Maybe you should go on doing both school and shinigami stuff? We’ll help!

Ichigo: Guys…I was basically never in class during high school.

Ichigo: Being a shinigami is too much of a time commitment! So if I want to do college, I need to just do college.

Keigo: I-Ichigo…

Keigo: You…

Keigo: YOU REALLY ARE A NERD!!!

Ichigo: Shut up.

Byakuya: Kurosaki Ichigo, you do not need further schooling to achieve success.

Byakuya: Merely tell people that you are a noble. 

Ichigo: Yeah…being a part of a dead noble family from the afterlife doesn’t do much in the human world, Byakuya.

Byakuya: Humans are more barbaric than I realized.

Rukia: Hmmm….I’ve never been to college…

Rukia: It sounds fun!

Ichigo: W-what makes you think you’ll come??

Rukia: Because you always need me, fool!

Grimmjow: I don’t buy it, Kurosaki!

Grimmjow: You love fighting too much to give it up!

Grimmjow: The first time you see a hollow, your shinigami instincts will take over!

Ichigo: Naw. I’m probably gonna be a shinigami for the rest of my natural life and then for eternity in Soul Society.

Ichigo: I think I can handle taking four years off.

Grimmjow: WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH KUROSAKI?!?

Ulquiorra: All of you, enough. Kurosaki Ichigo is a human. He is allowed to lead a human life.

Ichigo: Uh….thanks, Ulquiorra.

Ulquiorra: He will most likely be dead before he manages to finish four years of anything, after all.

Ichigo: …

Ichigo: Thanks so much.

Finally, someone articulates the whole dynamic of Renji's soul in early Bleach and how that would have led to an incomplete Bankai with the rushed training. Plus, there's also the way he honed himself solely to fight Byakuya, but ended up having a snake based Bankai that was missing Zabimaru's baboon motif until TYBW.

in before i see any hot takes on zabimaru being a prick for holding out on renji: they didn't. they gave him half a bankai when he needed one, even though he wasn't ready. they gave him a half-bankai he could face byakuya with, a half-bankai that gave him the courage to turn his back on forty years of being a good soldier because it was all for rukia anyway. zabimaru said "jump in the ocean, renji, we'll learn to swim as we go" and if my man has taken a lot of L's over the years, it's because he's literally learning on the job what every captain in the gotei has had years to practice and perfect.

Ichigo’s stance on the SS’s morality is definitely one where I also wondered how he act in response to it as a whole. He mainly is protecting those he cares including his friends in the SS, but on the other matters like the Quincy genocide or the falsity of the Soul King, he seems to be neutral, mainly focusing on the present, not the past actions that fuel who he's fighting. Like you said, his action to move forward with others towards a future for everyone is the antithesis to his opposition.

Him being a human also factors into the one time he’s been critically against SS was in the FB arc where he’s bold enough to ask for Ginjo’s body from them so he can bury it in the WOTL, despite Ginjo’s crimes against the SS. Like he still decided to trust them considering what they did to Ginjo, but that moment is segmented after his past actions that overturned the SS's rigid law that's lasted for thousands of years.

At the end of the day, Ichigo isn't the lonely teen he used to be with how he's developed and has let other people into his life opposed to Aizen. I say he would decide to leave the internal affairs of the Shinigami to those he trusts instead of taking things into his own hands like Aizen, and be his own figure that has Urahara's influence.

Tbh there's something about the way Ichigo, Kisuke, and Sōsuke are all reflecting off of each other in canon

Like this is sooooo influenced by my random uraichizen thoughts but

Like, considering Kisuke's Boddhisatva allegory with Guanyin/Kannon and his knowledge of the world, the idea that he preserves the status quo of the worlds by not actively doing anything in comparison to Sōsuke (from what we can see). He is a Boddhisattva in this sense. He's seen the truth, he teaches others the truth or hints at it because true Enlightenment can only be with the self. But.

Then there's the actual consequence of SS and what shinigami have to do to maintain the balance. Kisuke opposes Sōsuke and his views not because he believes it's right, but because he believes that the destruction of the worlds is not acceptable. It's a necessary evil.

Sōsuke has an ego with him wanting to become God, but there's also something almost tragic about his arc with reframing it from his perspective of Soul Society.

Soul Society is not a good place. Honestly horrible to live in. Especially when we find out that they sacrifice souls to hollows and vice versa in the name of balance.

Tbh, I ended up asking myself, from this viewpoint, is the Soul Society really worth protecting? Because it's goal is not about protecting people, but protecting the balance. Can the shinigami claim ignorance? Should they even be allowed to when they are complicit in destruction of lives? What would 'life' actually be considered in this universe? Do hollows deserve life as humans do? Except the SS ultimately sees both as a means to an end, hollows are just more of an obstacle.

Effwctively, shinigami are content sleeping on a bed of ground bones. I can see Sōsuke thinking this from a biased perspective.

But he's also not some savior either. He's arrogant and has a callousness to him that conflicts with this more sympathetic view of him.

His anger at Kisuke for knowing the truth of the world and not trying to change it seems genuine. There's an air of hypocrisy to his character I can't shake and it makes me wanna know more about why. Like the question of the greater evil vs the lesser evil.

Except Ichigo. He steps forward, finally knowing himself in full, to defeat Sōsuke, to defeat Yhwach, yet I can't help but feel like he's still so ignorant of the world he lives in. If he learned about their horrors, could he truly stand by in shadows waiting as Kisuke does, or would he become like another Sōsuke, for whatever reason. Or would he become a different path?

Sōsuke is also related to illusion and water, a reflection. We never see his bankai and I would even go so far as to think that he own powers don't work as they do in canon. There's still too many unknowns about him for me to be confident in them. But Ichigo’s own insights about Sōsuke's loneliness is just... it's so tempting to build off of that.

Because those feelings are likely a reflection of Ichigo from when he was a young age and his own confusing powers may have brought only more loneliness instead of understanding or connection.

I can't help but think that Kisuke represents Stagnation and Sōsuke represents Progess. Except poth come with an unsavory taste in the mouth. Kisuke waits, likely works towards a goal, bit it's far too slow for the people that have already suffered because of the world. Sōsuke steps forward, also hiding until he's sure of his strike, and he probably would have won if not for Ichigo. What is Ichigo then?

The only part of the Soul King that's named is his heart, which can bring about miracles, things unexplained due to emotions and desires. It acts similar to the Hōgyoku. Ichigo speculates that Sōsuke may have actually wanted to lose to him and that's... also a lot of implication about Sōsuke's character. There's also the idea that Sōsuke may have built Ichigo up. To what? Defeat him? Stand by his side? To make him less lonely? Or are these Ichigo’s unreliable feelings, are they simply Ichigo’s own reflected onto Sōsuke?

Both of Kisuke and Sōsuke's plans and views come with a price. And Ichigo remains ignorant, but he stills fights for everyone to not pay that price, even his enemies.

In a way, it's like Sōsuke decided to pay a huge price upfront to pay back later, Kisuke is frugal and making sure to balance everything while moving forward but that means people can't attain true wealth within their lifetime. Yhwach decided to destroy the concept itself despite that it means everyone will then have to pay that price.

Ichigo, is just, bursting through all of that. But he's also only one person. And idk, that feels important to how change must be made collectively when it's about a whole society. All Ichigo does is step forward, with other people, like the beginning of a wave.

Like, this is the end of the post but SŌSUKE AND KANAME??????? That alone needs a whole thesis and how it informs both of their characters since the only person Sōsuke actually trusts out of everyone is Kaname
