Rukia was one of my favorite charters. Her back and forth with Ichigo was great. The fact that she was tuely acknokwledgaged by Byakuya was great. Watching her growth was a treat. This is one of the fights I have been waiting for so much. She went through a lot, and came through the other side. One of my favorite parts of the story. When she said Banki, it gave me chills. I would for her to be able to control it more and show us that she can.
I will say this i dont knock rukia for losing to riruka when I know for a fact she was holding back and could have killed her at anytime. Good video but i think rukia still was of major importance throughout the story
Yeeeeeeeah that was a bad point. Neither of them wanted to kill the other. Riruka was clearly written as the character with the most humanity of all the full ringers. Her interactions with orihime and Ichigo proves she wouldn't have hurt his friends for ginjos plan.
I like Rukia too. She's my favorite in Bleach. But i won't kid myself. She is weak, incredibly weak. And later became directionless. While i like what Kubo did by having Rukia face As Nodt (the whole Byakuya needn't protect her anymore, she is his equal arc), I wish Rukia had a similar power scaling arc like Ichigo. She would have been perfectly placed to contrast Ichigo's growth. In fact, i had hoped Kubo would set up both Uryu and Rukia on the same trajectory as Ichigo, but with parallel arcs. Oh well, Kubo had his limitations, both in health and Shonen...
I like the theme of overcoming the odds within be it her grief over the Kaien incident and her looking forward to death due to feelings of guilt, or facing her worst fears on the battlefield yet still emerging victorious. And her helping Ichigo overcome his own emotional funk in her own unique way adds to her development as well. In the end she proved herself to be a brave and capable Shinigami but also a friend and worthy ally who well deserves her marriage to Renji and subsequent promotion/family. Bonus points that Byakuya organized their wedding in WDKALY. It's come full circle.
imo Rukia needed to be out. look at it this Way: She complitely lost her shinigami powers and was developing them from Square one. Yes she had Knowledge but Cultivating her power were still needed and series takes place in a time span of what? 2.5 years? She was training Pre series for few 100s of years.
YES KING i love Rukia but i gotta say, she takes soooooo many Ls through the manga and she still somehow is really overrated by the fans, but TYBW was really the redeem arc for her after so many Ls
@@gcs_ nah i dont mean exactly that way, lemme rephrase that, see the character is really good n all, but i mean it as how fans sees her rather than how the character actually is (coz, Rukia kinda gets away by the skin of her ass and gets beaten a lot, yet somehow fans treats her as the absolute best to the point they exaggerate everything bout her) but besides that, i do think she is a great deuteragonist and female character in a shonen
No so many L's if you ask me. ( Not like Renji or Chad) Remember Rukia was the only non captain to take down an espada. The only character to one shot an arrancar.
I was following u up until the point where u said as-nodt is stronger than bazz-b I’m not being an ass when I ask what happens that gives a you the idea that as-nodt is stronger than bazz-b?
But Rukia HAD to be saved in the end. And the fact that Byakuya survived after the first invasion, robbed her of her time to shine. She's always been a damsel in distress that had to be saved: from execution by Ichigo, from Aizen by Renji and Byakuya, from Zommari by her big bro, carried from the battlefield after essentially losing fight to Riruka, as well as being unable to concentrate on her battle with Meninas and paying for it. And right in the moment when she has a difficult opponent to overcome - whoopsies, big bro is here once again with his life advices. It only shows that she still lives in the shadow of those protecting her. She managed to speedrun the Academy, rise among the ranks of squad 13, got artificially buffed by Zero Squad and finally - unlock her bankai with the help of her big bro. When's the moment she finally does things on her own?
@@Rio-zh2wb except she'd die without him appearing lol. No Bankai acquired, no dead As Nodt, who was about to beat her even despite her artificial amplifying in power. The "reach" is claiming her to be strong despite being one of the most immature and fragile fighters in the verse. She didn't earn any of it.
Rukia vs aeroniro was one of the most disappointing fight ever. The dude claimed he has 30k hollows power and didn't use one. I know that it was all about psychology, but it's just not good enough.
Rukia and orihime are my favorite girls on bleach its good how kubo gave each one of them a good character development unique for each one of them one to the warrior rukia and another to the protector orihime that even if she might not do the same as rukia she dos her OWN thing and she shines at it
This video is complete bs rukia’s character never needed to be save. She is easily one of the most important characters in the story. Without her ichigo wouldn’t have had the power and proper guidance to be able to protect karakura town in the beginning of the story. Without her ichigo wouldn’t have gotten out of his depressed state after his first encounter with ulquiorra and his betrayal by ginjo. She didn’t beat a lot of powerful opponents who cares. The are more to a character than how strong the are. Also even if it was the weakest espada she is one of the few characters that beat one by themselves.
I don't care for Rukia actually I don't like her that much at all nor do I Kaizen as everyone does I don't know I was spoiled by him being a bad guy maybe that was it but I don't get all hot and bothered like other people do with him
Rukia was already a good character. Yes,she needed time but hey. Who cares,on the other hand Renji is a running joke even after his powerup. He's inconclusive and he has NEVER ACHIEVED his dream. He hadn't even reached TRUE SHIKAI BYAKUYA because Byakuya reached the true nature of his zampakutou only during TYBW.
If you think Renji's dream was to surpass Byakuya just for the hell of it, you got his character complitely wrong. It was all to get Rukia back, as he believed Byakuya "took" her from him. And in the end he won her back not by beating her brother, but by just being there for her. Why would he still want to surpass Byakuya for? In the end he achieved everything he dreamed of, which was always to be with Rukia
Lmao renji is another joke by ignorants like you. He id an amazing chatacter that also needed time and he achieved it. The character development of renji and hos dream arent that shallow like you think and his dream isnt just to defeat byakuya and thats it. No his dream is to be with byakuya long enough to surpass him because he thinks he still has stuff to learn, dont be ignorant cause both rukia and renji are amazing characters
@@stefanocremonini2656 you don't know what you're talking about. Renji couldn't care less about surpassing Byakuya if it wasn't for Rukia. The only reason he even decided to become shinigami was to live a stable life with Rukia, he never cared about moving up in ranks until she got adopted. He believed if only he could beat Byakuya he'd be worthy of her noble status, it was nothing more than a means to an end. Rewatch/reread Renji's fight with Ichigo and Byakuya and try to actually UNDERSTAND what happens there
Also i always hate how toxic rukia stans and shippers say rukia was sidelined in the series or in the final arc when this videl proves she never was, they just wanted to her to be by ichigos side 24/7 but they ignore just because they arent together doesnt mean ruki was sidelined cause we always saw her being relevant and present in the arc just by staying with her own people the shinigamis
Rukia’s absence* was truly felt in the middle of the series I missed when she was the second most prominent character.
*absence... lol
I simply cannot wait for Rukia's bankai to be animated
Exactly . Hope more added to her transformation when she does actives her Bankai for the time with a little = longer with Ass=Nodt.
She jus gonna stand there tho...? The effects n stuff will be cool tho
And this is how Kubo cemented Rukia not fall into the same trap as Sakura and make her useless in the eyes of his viewers

Definitely one of the most amazing character arcs ever. I used to hate Rukia but now love her so much. She has the most gorgeous bankai ever.
Rukia is an amazing character. Def one of the best female characters in shounen.

Another amazing breakdown brother
I love this channel and content and glad aim a student and novist of kubology.😮
My God what great content you keep on making. Honestly I don't remember a single video where I couldn't stop watching with 100% attention.
The beauty to come
He created Rukia, that's all he needed to do :)

Yes she had Knowledge but Cultivating her power were still needed and series takes place in a time span of what? 2.5 years? She was training Pre series for few 100s of years.
Best female characters hands down. Actually the only one that have an actual developpement.
Good episode
I would like to know why you think As Nodt is stronger than Bazz-B.
YES KING
i love Rukia but i gotta say, she takes soooooo many Ls through the manga and she still somehow is really overrated by the fans, but TYBW was really the redeem arc for her after so many Ls

No so many L's if you ask me. ( Not like Renji or Chad) Remember Rukia was the only non captain to take down an espada. The only character to one shot an arrancar.
Rukia literally faced down a kenpachi level opponent and got destroyed
Good points overall but I mean toshiro had no bankai and that sort of affected his power to some degree at that point in time I mean..😅😅🙌🤷🏽♂️
I was following u up until the point where u said as-nodt is stronger than bazz-b I’m not being an ass when I ask what happens that gives a you the idea that as-nodt is stronger than bazz-b?
If is interesting, I wonder if Bazz B would fall under As Nodts Vollstanding
But Rukia HAD to be saved in the end.

This is such a reach lmao
She killed a dude Byakuya could barely put a scratch on and all Byakuya did was encourage her
@@Rio-zh2wb except she'd die without him appearing lol. No Bankai acquired, no dead As Nodt, who was about to beat her even despite her artificial amplifying in power.
The "reach" is claiming her to be strong despite being one of the most immature and fragile fighters in the verse. She didn't earn any of it.
@@Prushinthespirit That's not how acquiring Bankai works. She must have had it before the fight started
She was barely trying against the fullbringer girl.
How can you fault her for losing in the first invasion when everyone lost ?

Rukia would one-shot Yhwach with her bankai
Bruh 😅
