Bleach 459
So, so since the creation of my LJ, my default icon has been Rukia, because she is the bestest. Seriously. She's brave, she's badass and she has an awesome sword. What's not to love?
OMG SHE'S BACK. She's FINALLY back.
How fitting is it that she returns Ichigo's powers to him in the same way she gave them to him in the first place? Again, he feels helpless and wants the power to protect the people he cares about. And again, in his moment of despair, she returns to save him.
SWORD. Straight in my heart.
Not to mention, the KICKASS haircut she has. And the elbow gloves. AND OMG SHE MADE VICE CAPTAIN.
Also cool; when she left, she disintegrated before his eyes. When she returned, she reappeared the same way.
SHE MADE THE RAIN STOP AGAIN.
What I hope for in the next chapter: them to tag-team fight. I don't remember them actually ever doing that before.
Oh, and you know what I've discovered with Bleach? KT's pacing sucks all kinds of ass, but when you wait long enough and read all the chapters in a fell swoop? (This is why I finally got through the last arc)...the story is actually really really good.
