To my new 200 followers I didn't even realize when I got, this is just a warning that I don't talk much about IR on this account. If you want your daily dose of IR pls follow IRspace. Here I'm mainly a hater and often rant about my love for Kuchiki siblings and manga goods lmao.
Crazy how Rukia was always ready to throw herself in front of others to protect them no matter how powerless she was yet some of you still think she isn't the most selfless girl with the purest heart in Bleach.
I love how Rukia was totally helpless and frightened of Aizen's intimidating aura but still cradled Byakuya's head with her tiny arms and stared back at Aizen with a look that was both scared and defiant. Girl you do realize the person he targeted at the said moment was YOU?? 😭
Hard to believe that it’s 2023 (aka 7 years after 2016) yet Pierrot seriously stayed faithful to the manga and didn’t bother to add Renji to this scene 😭
How can you call yourself a Sakura fan and Sakura the true heroine of Naruto but still go along with that "Orihime is THE heroine of Bleach" while knowing that the same debate has occured in Naruto fandom and we all know marrying the MC doesn't make a character the main girl lol?
"Bleach endgame was obvious from day 1 if you read the manga you'd see it" okay but remember when even Oda Eiichiro (author of OP) and Matsuyama Hiroshi (CEO of CyberConnect2) were totally shocked after c686 dropped lol.
Fact: Hisana was the luckiest woman in Bleach. Her husband is handsome, rich and most important of all loved her to even after her death. Definitely the best husband material.
“Just friends” but they look at each other like it’s not gravity keeping their feet on the ground, but that special smile they only use when the other is around.
Y’all whine too much about “pIErRoT aDdINg uNNeCEsARry IcHiRUkI sCeNes kUbO HAteS” but forget that Fade to Black contains more IchiRuki than any other filler and it was made by Kubo 🥱
I actually want to edit Ichigo out but it's gonna look wonky so...I give you my 2 precious Kuchiki babies and the strawberry who helped mend their relationship?😂
A reminder that Rukia is the moon to Ichigo sun, the ray of light in his life, the girl with a smile that he swore to go through a million blades in order to see again, the girl making him wonder if he could keep up with a world without...but they're just pLaTOniC bEsTiEs 🤷♀️
You know it's just dead hilarious that the moment Renji showed his strongest determination to save Rukia is actually just him mimicking what Ichigo previously said 😭
Since someone in KO just didn't get the answer they thirsted for, remember when Viz asked Kubo about his fav anime arc and instead of SS or Arrancar or FB arc he chose this filler arc and said it has many "amazingly directed sequences" lol?
Sometimes I think about how lovely it is that rain is the symbol of Ichigo's sadness and there was no rain in Arrancar arc. Damn Kubo is such a genius.

1/ You are spreading lies and misinformation
2/ You are spreading lies and misinformation about a shipdom under a ship fanart by a shipper fanartist
No one asked about your opinion so pls stop 😭
I’m telling you this moment is so underrated his hand bone was pinned on the ground by a freaking sword and it hurt him to just move but he was still trying so hard because her life was in danger 😭
Ichigo when Rukia is in danger:
my body was my bone was
almost split in pinned by a
half but i still sword but i still
crawled on my ripped it out to
four to you come for you
"It rained after Uryuu defected too Rukia ain't special" duh Masaki, Rukia, his power, the whole SS and Uryuu all are important to Ichigo that it rained when he (supposedly) lost them yet it didn't rain when a certain someone got kidnapped in Arrancar arc so what does that say 😭
IchiHime estranged marriage joke in Aug 2021 and RenRuki seemingly not being married at all in Sep 2023. Kubo, you're truly the best supporter of theirs. GOAT indeed 🫡
Y'all can keep arguing about FB arc, I'll just stay here and laugh at how Kubo used specific words to make sure people know the difference between Ichigo's bond with the humans and with the shinigamis lol. Bonds were tested and you know which was broken and which wasn't 🤷♀️
You know it's something when the author made a girl who haboured feelings for a boy sneak glances at him but he only had eyes on another girl. Oh and that's not the end of it, the author even had her recalling the scene with a sad face too ¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯
Ichigo was down so bad for Rukia during their 17 months apart and the “can I keep up with the world” poem isn’t enough to describe it so Kubo must write this too 🥱
Saying all of Rukia's achievements are thanks to nepotism and she would have rotten in Rukongai if Byakuya didn't find her is so hilarious considering how she had gotten out of Rukongai long before Byakuya came and he was the one using nepotism to SUPPRESS HER PROMOTION 😭
@toki964
Ichigo is never referred as a Black sun or represented as such. That shit was just something Ichiruki shippers invented to try and argue their pairing of two guys that met during less than two weeks "Surprisingly" didn't end up together and that it was bad writing
The fact Uryuu also thought Rukia would go back with them 😭
He had always been super nice to Rukia even tho she is a shinigami. A boy like him deserved a better ending than what Kubo gave him 🙄
In what twisted universe would shit like this occur between brother and sister? You might call their relationship “platonic” sure but “siblings-coded” is just not it. I’d suggest a therapy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Romantic undertones huh? Let's see. Ichigo being extremely depressed when Rukia was taken back to SS thus starting the rain representing his sadness then the same moment was later included in his worst despairs? Check. Ichigo training, having his soul chain cut, raiding another -
Friendly reminder that Kudo Masashi the animation director/character design is the strongest IR fighter that he refused to say his opinion on canon and went as far as drawing IR art inspired by an IR cosplay and liking explicit IR twts then got people shitting on him for it lol.
2k followers!
so happy to see people loving IR in this year of 2022 💪 please enjoy these adorable IR arts drawn by professional mangakas and animator 🫶

I don’t like collecting printed materials but still have to buy SOULs VIBEs so I can rub them to any dumbass’s face that dare saying “Ichigo isn’t the sun and Rukia isn’t the moon” 🤡
It's really hilarious how you will pick some serious/cool-faced Ichigo pics and say "Ichigo only smiled more when he became an adult" all while ignoring these. Cherry picking is fine but using it against others? Might burn your own ass 😭
A gentle reminder that the rain represented Ichigo’s pain and sadness and it rained so fucking hard after Rukia was taken to SS and the said moment was Ichigo’s 2nd worst despair only after the day Masaki die 🤷♀️
I think everyone sees the "🍓 saves 💀 || 💀 saves 🍓" parallel here but we tend to forget the sun-moon aesthetic vibe of the 2 scenes. Ichigo showed up in front of Rukia blazing like the sun while Rukia slowly came into Ichigo's sight soft and bright like the moon 😭
Mind you the girl who glanced at him then lowered her gaze and closed her eyes in defeat is his wife-to-be. So yeah, I love this platonic soulmates thing lmao 😭
People saying "Rukia only ranked 1st because of IRs' influx" is so funny because they're literally agreeing that:
1/ Only IRs truly love Rukia and true Rukia lovers ship IR
2/ If IRs want to we have the power strong enough to put our girl on the top (while your girl can never) 😭
Can Orihime fans stop pretending like the reason people don't like her and her "Kurosaki-kun" is because of Pierrot or Matsuoka Yuki? Pierrot never dirtied her like they did Sakura and Matsuoka only voiced exactly what's in the manga: countless high-pitched "KUROSAKI-KUN" 😭
Tell me you know nothing about Bleach without telling you know nothing about Bleach~~
Anw I don't read OP so can't say about Nami. I love Sakura but Rukia still clears.
Pierrot was so real making these 150s recaps:
When the damsel in distress of SS arc got caught: "I'll become stronger to save her" "I won't let it end like this" "Wait for me Rukia"
When the damsel in distress of Arrancar arc got caught: "She is kidnapped, I'll save her" 😭
Why is it that Rukia suddenly becomes the 'main character' when y'all need to justify the fact she is always there next to Ichigo? I thought she was constantly sidelined and she held no importance after SS arc and she isn't the main girl/heroine anymore 😭
Just wanna say that Kubo didn't 'tease' anything and he lit answered "ALL NOVELS can be animated if the length allows" because the question is about NOVELS (the questioner particularly wanted WDKALY lol). Also he was lit saying it's allowed and not forbidden lmao.
Ichigo first received shinigami power from Rukia (white moon) and later gained his true power (inherited from his father whose zanpakutou's name is Engetsu - scathing moon) to save Rukia. He himself is the black sun. It makes sense how his power is called black moon.
Pls, Kubo gave her a PURE WHITE zanpakutou that has claimed the title "THE MOST BEAUTIFUL" for a reason. Zanpakutou is the manifestation of its owner's soul. Her soul is the purest and the most beautiful, period.
[NOT SHIPPING-RELATED] The irony is, no matter how much you try to prove that Orihime is more relevant than Rukia as a character, it's forever "Ichigo and Rukia" and not "Ichigo and Orihime". Orihime will remain among that "other Bleach characters" until eternity 😭
When that artist A drew an IH art using the same reference Deenah used for the IR zine cover, no IRs said anything. But when this artist B (the same person in the last drama with Deenah) not only picked the same reference but also the same wedding concept, we speak up. Why tho 🫠
I was searching for some goods info and I came across this. Denying Rukia's feminity with "she is part of the bros" is insane enough but saying "she is there for Orihime" is dead-ass stupid because Rukia wasn't even holding a present - which means she was just there to RECEIVE 😭
Shipping aside, this is the type of woman you should become: capable of raising a family and having a bright career all at once. If we want to defend her we can talk about her actual achievements, not just flaunting "SHE MARRIED THIS MAN" as if that's her only worth 💀
Sometimes I think about the SS/Arrancar arc parallel...the fact Kubo dedicated a whole chapter to have Renji confirming Ichigo's determination to save Rukia and a whole chapter to have Grimmjow questioning Ichigo's purpose coming to HM 💀
Ichigo is so unoriginal he be like "Rukia told me to say this I'll repeat after her like a machine because her words are edict in my ear". And there’re so many other times like this 😭😭
Imagine 10 years of your life passed by with so many big events: going to college, graduating, getting married, having your first born...yet your happiest moment is when you got to bicker with your platonic buddy like an old married couple again. Couldn't be anyone but Ichigo 💀
