*coughs a little - maybe in commemoration*
Itās okay that heās dead.
It is - it really, really is.
Itās just - itās not okay that there was no closure.
Itās not okay that the whole thing was presented this way.
Thing is, he didnāt haveĀ to die, yāknow? Iām happy that Rukia is a Captain now. Thatās well-deserved, and that makes sense, and thatās very, very good - but he didnāt have to die for that to have happened. He could retired permanently to UgendÅ, or he could have taken up a non-combat, advisory position at the First, or he could have opened a teahouse in the Seireitei - anything, really, as long as the way was clear for Rukia to wear that haori.
And we didnāt even get to see the manās face again.
No parting words. No last, little smile. No reassurance to the Captain-Commander that everything will be all right - nothing.
And I knowĀ heās a secondary character, and I know Iām biased because heās my favorite, and I knowĀ that we canāt expect Kubo to treat all of his beautiful, beautiful creations with the same exact amount of respect and panel time, butā¦ thisā¦Ā
This wasnāt quite the way to do it.Ā
It came close. It wasnāt going to be easy, no matter what. And the moment we did get with Kyouraku was nice enough. (But I sort of think that moment was about Kyouraku. Not about - about - his friend.) But I wish weād gotten something more.Ā
I wish that I felt sad, but satisfied.
As it is, Iā¦ just feel sad.
Rest in the greatest and most extraordinary peace possible, Juu-chan. Breathe easy, for the first time in two thousand years. Watch over those you love, and those who love you.
You werenāt even real, and you changed my life.
And Iām gonna miss you.
