Bleach 179: Byakuya... WTF?! OMFG! OMFG!
Bleach 179: Kubo Tite = Stealth Shoujo Mangaka.
I would just like to say I LOVE Kubo Tite! I am FOREVER glad that years ago I decided to read a little known manga called Zombie Powder written by a lesser known mangaka named Kubo Tite. Thus, starting my obsessive need to find everything (anything) that he had ever written. Anyways, enough babbling; onto the spoilers.
Byakuya was married at one point.
His wife had a sister, whom she abandoned.
Apparently, on her death bed, the wife asked Byakuya to find her sister and take care of her.
Three guesses at who the 'sister' is, and the first two doesn't count.
Rukia = SISTER-IN-LAW!!!!! OMFG! This explains more than it actually does. omfg!
I NEED the scans! NOW!
[EDIT: Spoilers from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flowright. Actually, flowright has raised a few interesting points about the Shinigami captains. So, why were there so many open spots for the rank of Captain? I mean based on what has been revealed, half of the Shinigami Captains seem to be from the same generation (Gin, Byakuya, etc.) While a third of them were elected from the generation after Rukia had entered the Shinigami school. I keep on thinking it has something to do with why Urahara got banned from Soul Society (it is damn obvious he can't return,) and why Yoroichi seem to be kind of peeved with the whole Shinigami order (and working with Urahara). But yeah, read flowright's entry about it, she's much more coherent than me on this one.]

But, jesus, this is Like The Old School Shoujo Romance Manga. I'm sooooooo happy. Sooooooo happy *giggls madly*
Oh darling, you know I respect you that much more when you start to show your shoujo roots ^_^
But you know, this does explain a lot about Byakuya's attitude towards Rukia (if we are going with the Shoujo Way of reasoning, and casr Byakuya as the Angsting Man who Lost his Beloved Wife.) Ohhh, soooooo happy. Now, if KuboTite begin with the Hollow/Aizen arc (everything seem to be related, somehow.)
no subject
Oh ho, well what didn't get mentioned was that I said that were this seinen we would have the creepy plot element where Byakuya indeed had a thing for the woman who resembled his dead wife, and is manfully repressing it, but this is shounen, so I doubt it.
no subject
But, but, but after this issue, I'm kind of going with the 'having a thing for woman who resembles dead wife,' it makes sense to me. I'm no longer using the 'it can't happen, it is shounen' argument anymore. Kubo Tite have turned my world upside down on several occassions now (no assumptions are safe anymore.) So, I'm going to sit back and enjoy the show, and wait for Byakuya to make his confession about having a thing for women who looks like his wife *koffs*
(I wonder if Kubo Tite read shoujo.)
no subject
XD I think we'll see who is right. But then, in that case it would also be incestuous (since Rukia is his adopted sister).
Nothing about Kubo Tite would surprise me, although I also suspect some of the "romantic" shounen was part of his reading.
no subject
Well, it won't true incest, 'cos you know, not related by blood ('Marmalade Boy' used that one as an excuse *koffs*)
Romantic Shounen... I'm trying to think of some, and none seem to come to mind.
And I had some fun on
no subject
...Well, I haven't seen adopted sibling incest in shounen jump yet.
You know, like Kimagure Orange Road, etc.
I'm just hoping that all of the characters get to fight more. There is a serious antagonist/protagonist ratio problem.
no subject
...True. Very True. Just mother/sister Complexes so large that can swallow half of the continent.
Of course. I Adore Kimagure Orange Road. I need to re-watch that someday.
Yes, fights. I need a solid villain. And oh, all the different techniques, and the huge power levels.... *dreamy smile*
