The Evolution of Rukia Kuchiki

[@Grayson-Winchester]

Byakuya acknowledging Rukia meant the world to her. I wished that she was present in the final battle Ichigo, Aizen and Renji vs Yhwach

[@revenantronin8377]

Renji wasn't present, at least he didn't fight Yhwach directly, that was Aizen's illusion for the most part.

[@Anhiksi]

One thing I could add to this video is that fear is a very special and specific concept to Bleach's themes, it contrasts with the unknown that death brings since the very first volume of the series. This is why Äs Nödt being the "Fear of God" is thematically a very important thing for the story, and which is why it's important that Rukia defeated this opponent that symbolized fear, as Rukia is the the Death in this story.

[@haydenthediggerinajtes9919]

What themes exactly

[@Anhiksi]

@@haydenthediggerinajtes9919 Is this the first Bleach analysis video you've ever seen or why exactly don't you clock why these two characters specifically facing off against each other is so important to Bleach's themes?

@@Anhiksi I love non answers

[@AsperaAdAstra]

I love that her bankai is basicaly the absolute zero - and its symmetrical - She HAS TO ENDURE whats HER opponent is feeling and against the PERSONALISATION OF FEAR OF GOD(Yhwach) - SHE STOOD STIL, ONE BREATH WAS ALL IT TOOK. 4:46

Videos like this help me appreciate the depth of Kubo's writing. I always considered Bleach to be the most "artsy" of the Big 3. Not just because of its amazing art, but because there is much more to the story, characters, and writing than what we see on the surface. Lots of symbolism and subtext that go over a lot of people's heads.

[@revenantronin8377]

Which is done intentionally, since Kubo goes out of his way to not use a narrator in the manga. Everything is left to interpretation, and unlike other stories where bold claims are confirmed by the narrator, in Bleach, characters lie and get away with it, sometimes even fooling the reader initially. Not just lies, but everything. There's no true right and/or wrong sides, there's just Ichigo's side and then whichever side he decides to fight alongside. It's fascinating, honestly.

[@mswhiteleg7849]

The beginning of this video makes me want a video about Ichigo and Rukia's relationship. Kubo's work for them is spectacular!

[@smrutishikharath3025]

One of the best video on Rukia's character analysis I've watched 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 it makes me appreciate her character even more I do already and also to understand her story and her bond with Ichigo even more... Thanks for making this video 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@SamTheGumMan117]

Rukia is such a great female character and now that her gorgeous beautiful bankai was revealed to everyone now knows she is *_HER_*

[@astro-ko3cu]

The best rukia analysis video I've seen

[@maattthhhh]

Lucia (Rukia) is latin for Light. So yeah, she still fits the Kuchiki motif. Also the theme of sacrifice is also implied through the Japanese folklore, Tsuki no Usagi. Which makes Rukia's love of bunnies make so much sense.

[@commando61961]

Rukia is one kf the best written female characters in wsj

[@R7dman]

Indeed

[@dytgyfgyffuh243]

Rukia is an example of a great and strong famle character but Sakura is an example of bad useless famle character

[@Ginto3]

You are a legend

[@Anhiksi]

This video is fantastic man.

[@R7dman]

Love to see it man, thank you!

[@dbw2587]

I didn't expect you to drop a video for at least 2 weeks after that long Ichigo video. The dedication is awesome 👏🏿

[@JayGoodTarot]

Damn! This was a genius breakdown! Smooth production 💯 How you broke down the symbology was as if you created the character & story plot yourself! Brilliant

[@toezie_wozies]

Hands down, one of the best videos I've seen. I'm a MASSIVE rukia fan and I really enjoyed this video. I pray you'll make it big one day

[@uraharakisuke1329]

You're videos are so great. You're reading comprehension and interpretations are some of the best I have seen on Bleach YT

[@kinosa11]

Loved the video. I've always thought bleach had the potential to continue past TYBW and just roll on in to chapters 800 and 900 but stuff like this makes me wonder what the main characters stories would be. If Rukia has moved past her fears and reached her peak what would she be doing in a post tybw story? Would the context around the world change and challenge her new worldview or would she start acting out her ideals now that she's gained her Identity? It's fun to think about.

[@edwardmr_7884]

I didn't really think about it before, but it makes so much sens that when a shinigami gains their bankai (gets enlightened) they are not longer bound in their shikai comand for releasing. As in that moment they are truly free of said boundary and can act accordingly.

[@jojojo3539]

I really love rukia and favorite female character. A very well written heroin ❤❤

[@TimeIguess]

I really like this video because me coming from the perspective of seeing the hell arc as truly questioning If everything we know about identity and the truth of the world itself is correct or not it fits so well. Rukia becoming that model Shinigami just for her entire identity and the philosophy of the "heart" Kaien believed in to be totally flipped on its head with the information we saw. Truly great.

[@LeaderTakes]

This video is great man. Rukia is so peak

[@RaraPremium]

The hogyoku didn't affect rukia giving more power to ichigo than she intended to. It did keep her powers suppressed AFTER that event. Specifically due to her not having the hogyoku until after that event.

[@therightone5708]

Great character. Great video.

[@detectivecritics]

lovely vid man

[@patgray5402]

You can't tell me Ichigo didn't slurp that

[@Bakuru]

I really hope you do these videos for all the main characters of Bleach. I'm gonna make sure I show every person who has seen Bleach and called them simple, YOUR videos LOL I need people who just see swords slashing, to see these. I need people who thunk the arrancar are just copies of the captains, to see these. I need people who think Ichigo is just a mid who gets Mary Sued, these videos. You actually properly explain what this show is REALLY about 💯💯

[@jameszespy001]

Will still say that these 2 belong together forever an always.

[@MrCrimsonftw]

Amazing video man

[@Taiga-16]

Does Rukia have an important role in the hell arc ? Because Kubo really is letting her down 😒

[@joebidenjr5902]

Most likely since she’s been hinted to be from Hell

[@Nazrat84]

You're telling me that the Rukia, the duetagonist, is part of a clan that is defined by "whiteness and purity" in the series called BLEACH?

[@Taiga-16]

Yeah 👀

[@dytgyfgyffuh243]

Rukia is an example of a good famle character and sakura is an example of bad famle character

[@grandcanyon-d4d]

Naori is maybe Naruto's Rukia

[@JackJonValois]

Always should have been "Ichigo + Rukia" not "Orihime + Ichigo"

[@funkgaara32]

she knew renji longer. kubo never wanted romance between ichigo and rukia that was the anime's fault kubo hates the 2004 anime for that reason

[@fz_dracohart1255]

@@funkgaara32 where's the proof that Kubo hates 2004 anime why every Ichihime shippers always bring this up as their attack to Ichiruki?

[@aqib2109]

Great video

[@sofarsogood8680]

During my early days reading bleach manga and watching its anime, i thought Rukia will be Ichigo's partner . Cause it was a typical storytelling , a hero and a heroin . And based their strong symbolism, black sun and white moon. But thankfully, Bleach ran away from this typical trope and straight up its own path by Kubo, making them both have a great platonic relationship

[@faithako7720]

Let's go ❤

[@krxril]

Can u talk about the eyes in bleach universe? why does reio have four, yhwach had two then it changed and became three, mimihagi have one but the other arm (pernida) has two. Can u upload a video telling us why it is different and what does the eyes represent and why yhwach eyes have became three?

[@TimeIguess]

I assume this video means you think Byakuya not dying is good overall?

[@Taiga-16]

Ofc. How can bleach be without Byakuya ?

[@ltp33p]

W Rukia

[@DawidStawowski]

Rukia Kuchiki is the best Bleach character.

I wonder if rwby takes inspiration from Rukia??!!!😅😅😮😮😮

What is rwby ?

i bet bleach inspired some of it
