Bleach 30 Day Challenge - Day 16
Day 16: Favourite Fan Couple
Well, I'm pretty sure this question should be interpreted as "favourite ship". And if this is the case, I need to make this clear to you guys: I do not watch anime with the interest of shipping. it just happens naturally..
But seriously, I don't care who ends up with who (unless its a genuine couple). But im playing by the rules and if I were to ship anyone, the best for me is Gin and Rangiku. This ship however is awfully tragic to the point that it's probably the saddest story in Bleach in my opinion. A young boy becomes aware of the evil and injustice in the world around him, but takes action when it interferes with the woman he cares about. Gin devoted his life to securing justice for Rangiku, for the fact that he just didn't want to see her cry anymore. And just as he thought he had taken Aizen down, his thoughts are with her. When she comes rushing to his side and his throat is so bloody he cannot even talk he says to himself "I'm glad, that I had the opportunity to apologise." C'mon guys, it's actually the most heartfelt genuine emotions coming from a suposed villain. My only regrets are that this story was cut off short and not elaborated upon- not to mention the fact that Gin didn't have to die.. But what's done has been done, this still remains the most valid ship I can sail.
I'll leave you with one of the most beautiful and interesting quotes in the whole of bleach which came from the love between the two (it's not official I know, but it more or less should be):
"If you were to turn into a snake tomorrow and begin devouring humans, and from the same mouth you started devouring humans, you cried out to me 'I love you,' would I still be able to say 'I love you' the same way I do today?" - Ichimaru Gin
