Well, I'm starting off my Monday strong with a 3-minute voicemail that I'm pretty sure was a butt dial. It was worth listening to the whole thing to hear the little "Oh, my god" right before they hung up, though. Anyways, my med refill is kicking in and my brain hamster is back in the wheel at a tentative jog, so let's see if I can start to chip away at one of the Bleach relationships I've been struggling to make sense of!

I'm guessing at least a part of Renji's going back and forth with how he talks to Rukia has to do with their estrangement from each other. Like, I get the sense that Rukia making digs at Renji is nothing new, and I feel like Renji used to do the same back. But at the same time, when you've grown so far apart AND have Gotei 13 laws and duties getting in the way, the old ways of connecting and talking to each other might not work so well, you know?

I want to think Renji reminding her to eat is out of concern for his old friend. But this could also be Lieutenant Abarai--really, phone? Trying to autocorrect his name to Abstain? This could also just be him meeting his professional obligations as a lieutenant, making sure prisoners don't starve themselves before their scheduled execution.

Aaaaand I got lost again on the pivot from "Of course you're gonna die!" to "C'mon, I'm only kidding, you'll probably get a reduced sentence." Did Rukia's blatant acknowledgment of her fate suddenly drive it home for him, and now the part of him that cares about Rukia is kicking in and trying to reassure her?

Whatever the reasoning is, I don't think it did much to help.

From his reaction, I get the impression Renji didn't know what things have been like between Byakuya and Rukia since her adoption. It's just now hitting me that this might be the moment he realizes his captain might not actually do anything to help Rukia out of this. If that's true, that adds a little more weight to his decisions later.

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

How Bleach Subtly Set Up the Echt & Gemischt Quincy Bloodline Distinction

The title of chapter 186, "Tell Your Children the Truth" doesn't seem random once you notice what Kubo is setting up in that same chapter. It's not only about Ryuken and Isshin eventually needing to tell their children the truth about their past but also the truth of who they are.

In that chapter Kubo is also planting the seeds for the later distinction between the two Quincy Categories: Echt & Gemischt.

The Echt and Gemischt setup become foreshadowing through the misdirection in Ryuken and Uryu's conversation. At first, the scene seems to be about Uryu thinking Ryuken gave up his Quincy powers long ago, but Ryuken's line that his powers are harder to get rid of than Uryu's, while describing Uryu's power as feeble, subtly hint at the distinction in their bloodline.

the Auswahlen nine years ago, recontextualizes that conversation, the Echt Quincy weren't the targets, it was the Gemischt who were deemed impure. Yhwach stripped them of their powers and lives to regain his own strength.

And it's the stripping of power itself that becomes a callback to Ryuken's description of Uryu's powers as feeble, implying that Uryu's powers may have been weakened once before by Auswahlen.

And what makes Uryu's survival an anomaly is that, while the other Gemischt perished with Still Silver clots forming in their hearts, Uryu survived. Yet the low blood pressure listed in his character profile in one of the early volumes implies that Auswahlen may have affected him to some extent, just not enough to kill him, making that detail an early hint at the anomaly of his survival.

Q: Whom among the cast residing in the World of the Living have a license? Kubo: Besides Chad, most of them do. When heading to the hotel and match venues, Chad usually takes the train.

It such a classic Chad move, that despite being world champion boxer he chose to ride a train instead of drive a car because he can reduce pollution and save money from gas price.

Tall giant, but still humble and down to earth, never forgetting his root.

In the middle of a date at a cafe.

Keigo: "Inoue-san! Ichigo!"

Orihime: "Ah, Asano-kun! Hello!"

Ichigo: "... why are you even here..."

Keigo: "That's harsh, Ichigo!! I was just around here and saw you from the window... I guess I have to say hi, right?"

Ichigo: "Go away, we don't need you."

Keigo: "How cold!! Is that how you treat all your friends?!"

Ichigo: "No, just those who interrupt a date uninvited."

A waiter: "Is this table no. 04?"

Orihime: "Ah, yes!"

A waiter: "Here you go... two chocolate parfaits, right?"

Orihime: "Thank you! Now let's eat!"

Keigo: "..."

Keigo: "... Inoue-san, what are you doing."

Orihime: "... Hm? Ah, adding Tabasco."

Keigo: "No, I mean why would you add Tabasco in your choco pafe."

Orihime: "Um... because it would taste great...?"

Keigo: (Where?!!)

Keigo: "... Uh, Ichigo? Your girlfriend just put Tabasco in her choco pafe."

Ichigo: "Huh? Tabasco?"

Keigo: (That's right, Ichigo!! Say something!! We need your tsukkomi in here!!!)

Ichigo: "...... Ah, so today it's Tabasco. That's rare, you usually add wasabi."

Keigo: (ICHIGOOOOOOOO!!!)
