Byakuya rates my fav Rukia ships
(he wants the best for his sister)
This post will include RenRuki, RukiHime, RanRuki, IchiRuki, IchiRenRukiHime and RukiSoi
RenRuki
If you think Byakuya doesn't highkey ship them you are incorrect
Rating- 100/10
Opinion- Byakuya came to learn exactly how far Renji would go (has come) for Rukia and immediately began planning their wedding. That sort of earth-shattering devotion is exactly what his sister deserves because she's just that bloody amazing.
Not to mention, he knows and approves of Renji even outside of Rukia's relationship with him. He knows he's a strong, capable man who would do everything in his power to keep his loved ones happy.
(Also Byakuya is romantic at heart and he always falls for the childhood best friends to lovers trope, especially with all that Slowburn™ and Pining™ and Angst™)
RukiHime
He gets not only one but two beautiful, clever, kind and amazing sisters and you expect him to have a problem?
Rating- 10/10
Opinion- Byakuya likes Orihime. She is respectful, kind and generous and Rukia dotes on her. He knows Orihime will be a worthy addition to his family. Not only that, he is sure Orihime will raise well rounded, sensitive and emotionally competent babies, breaking the Kuchiki family curse once and for all and he's up for that.
Nevermind that they look so cute together. He doesn't quite understand how it could work with Orihime being a human and Rukia a shinigami but he'd straight up kidnap Orihime to keep Rukia happy so there's that.
RanRuki
No
Rating- 4/10
Opinion- Rukia is hundred percent carrying this ship all by herself. He can't imagine Hitsugaya's lazy and foolish lieutenant being good at anything at all.
But if Rukia finds happiness with her, he'd accept her into the family with open arms. Rukia deserves the sky but if she is satisfied with dust particles than that's fine too.
IchiRuki
He had his issues with this one
Rating- 0/10 in the beginning but has now risen to a decent 7/10
Opinion- Byakuya respects Ichigo but very grudgingly. He can't stand the thought of Ichigo being a permanent part of his life and family.
But he understands that the boy is loyal and loving. If Rukia were to end up with him, he'd definitely take good care of her. So, he doesn't oppose the union.
Not that he'd ever cause problems for Rukia no matter who she decided to marry. Byakuya is a clown, but a wholesome one.
IchiRenRukiHime
What
Rating: 117/10 (because obviously this means he has to add Renji, Orihime and Ichigo's ratings right?)
Opinion- Byakuya doesn't understand what Rukia needs so many... Partners for but if that's what she wants, that's what she'll get.
Plus, unconventional as it is, Byakuya can't deny it's very advantageous in the sense that when put together, the four of them make up for everything they individually lack.
(Not that Rukia lacks anything. Absolutely not.)
SoiRuki
Hadn't thought he would, but he approves
Rating- 6/10
Opinion- Soi Fon is a good one. She is dutiful and stern but also an extremely devoted person. Byakuya wasn't sent a memo when she got over Yoruichi, but he won't be upset if Rukia was to marry Soi Fon.
He's pretty sure they could take over all of Soul Society when put together, which is a plus point in his books.
