Bleach 149: Rukia has a thing for redheads

Bleach episode 149 review

If you’re a IchiRuki, you may be getting excited by the title of this post. But sorry, no, I don’t consider Ichigo a redhead, just a strawberry blonde. I’m talking actual red, as in Renji’s hair color, and Ashido’s as well. If you want to call Orihime a redhead, that’s fine, because I actually once shipped RukiHime.

Anyway, back to the episode. Ashido didn’t die; he survived. And now he helps Rukia win the battle with the Hollows and get back to her friends. Ichigo & pals manage to save Nel & pals, and now everyone’s back together. Ashido chooses not to go with them, which probably means curtains for him. But if that’s not the case, Rukia promises that she’ll come back for him someday. Hello?

Some random Soul Reaper in Hueco Mundo, and you’re going to come back for him someday? For real? That’s bizarre. The only explanation I’ve got is that Rukia has a thing for him. Love at first sight, seriously. Renji, you’ve got some ground to make up here!
