Description

*This will motivational screenshot will indeed be my final say on the issue here. This screenshot shot is not meant to be an anti-bash as it is just to once again show my support to my fellow IchiRuki shippers and to the communities that support them and I would appreciate any who see this comment to respect not only mine but other's opinions as well. If you are not a supporter of IchiRuki that is fine, it's your own opinion which I respect and if so you are welcome to read this: Congratulations*

*Everything you are about to read is based on my own opinion and you don't have to agree with any of it. If you don't like what you are reading than please turn away now. Other than that, please read on. To all of those IchiRuki supporters please read this: IchiRuki


On August 18th 2016, the Bleach community had erupted probably a lot more than any volcano on the planet due to the "ending" given to us by Tite Kubo as it left us with many more plot holes, unanswered questions, unused characters and scenarios as well as the pairings.

This has left many IchiRuki fans with a depressing, sick feeling as we all flashed back on the past 15 years at a relationship and bond that was deeper and more connected than any that you would come across in any other manga ever read. It really hit close to home more as we remember how even Tite Kubo himself said that "Rukia was meant to be a 'ray of light' for Ichigo." Carlos Alexandre from popcultureshock.com regarded her as "less of a foil to Ichigo and more like the other side of the same coin". Plus, we will always remember how it came straight from Ichigo's own mouth that it was Rukia who stopped the rain. Also, I am sure back during the good times of Bleach all of the fans saw that when Ichigo would go into his Bankai form his sword took the form of a pure black katana and when Rukia activated her shikai it took the form of a beautiful pure white katana. (Black and White, Yin and Yang)

But it seems that instead of breaking the spirits of many IchiRuki fans it has only inspired and encouraged them more to support and ship this pairing more than ever before as many more fanart and fanfiction stories have been coming out of the woodworks. Plus the more we look back on all of their interactions with each other, their team ups and the way they would protect each other has just made us appreciate this pairing more and see it be a whole lot more beautiful than it orginally was.

You can say that I am being delusional but I am just looking at the facts that have been given to me by others over the last couple of days. Tite Kubo was forced by Shonen Jump to bring Bleach to an end quicker than he anticipated despite how they pressured him into keep the manga running for as long as possible after how he originally wanted to end the manga series back after the defeat of Aizen. Because of that he was more so forced to give an ending that he probably didn't want to give and probably knew that it would piss off a lot of people because of it as it's been said by another fellow deviant that the ending was a HUGE middle finger to Shonen Jump for all the crap they have put him through and to make sure it wouldn't sell for a lot of money. Like many, yeah I am still upset (not mad) at Kubo for the ending but now I have a more fuller understanding of why he did it. Which is why I have decided even now more than ever to not acknowledge this ending as the true ending to Bleach or any of the "canonical" pairings either. It doesn't matter if Tite Kubo himself did the ending or not (ghostwriter rumor I heard) he was forced by Shonen Jump to give an ending and as I just stated it was probably not the ending he wanted to give but didn't have a choice. This ending has also shown to really be out of Kubo's usual style from what he usually did and this includes the "careers" that Chad and Uryu have.

It was Ichigo and Rukia that got Bleach to where it was since it was Rukia that gave Ichigo his powers to begin with and the series actually did center on their bond and connection which was shown throughout all of the arcs (final war arc excluded) especially in the 3rd movie as well.

This is my final saying as for all of the motivational screenshots I have posted over the last 5 days I stand by each and everyone of them as to what I said to them (Most hated Manga Artist is excluded as most of the stuff I said was out of anger and frustration before coming to see the truth of the "ending") You don't have to agree with me on any of this as we all have our own opinions on the matter here. But I stand by what I have said, I won't acknowledge IchiHime or RenRuki as canon but for all of those out there who do support them I just want to say Congratulations to you once again.

I just ask is that you don't tease us or taunt us about any of this and respect our own opinions and beliefs as we respect yours please.

Ichigo and Rukia will continue to live on throughout the years to come and be much stronger than before through many fanart and fanfiction stories of them with their bond and connection portrayed more beautifully than ever before.

For many IchiRuki fans this is truly not the end; because to us and many others, IchiRuki are the TRUE ending to Bleach.  We Are Nakama by incogxito 

With all of this being said I now want to say that I am now done. My spirits are even higher now than before and I am happy with my favorite pairing and believe me you are going to see a lot and I mean ALOT of fanfiction and fanart on this beautiful pairing of the black sun (Ichigo) and white moon (Rukia). It's time to get to work on that. Thank you all and take care. :wave:

*WARNING!!! I am only going to say this just once that I am showing a sign of good spirit here so I would like for you to respect me and my other fellow deviants who support IchiRuki on our own opinions and not try to force your opinions on them. Also, if anyone comes onto this screenshot and makes a comment full of taunts and jokes I promise you that I will post a lot and I do mean ALOT of Anti-Orihime and Anti-Renji screenshots which is something I don't want to do so please respect my opinions and my fellow IchiRuki supporters as we respect yours. Thank you*




I don't own Bleach or the screenshots. They belong to Tite Kubo.

Am I the only one who saw Ichigo and Rukia's relationship as more of a brother and sister type of relationship rather than a romantic one? In the manga, there was no indication that they had romantic feelings for each other.
