It has been 14 hours since I found out that, according to Kubo, Byakuya calls Renji by his given name "because Rukia does" and I am obsessed with this information.
This is both the best and worst possible answer to this question. I feel like if you asked Byakuya, this is exactly the reason he would give. However, if Rukia were present, she would lose her damn mind. While I do think Rukia's assertion that Byakuya didn't look at her even once in 40 years is hyperbole, over that time I can imagine Renji's name coming up in conversation once, maybe twice tops.
Like, two weeks before she goes on her fateful mission to the Living World, B's been shortlisting Vice-Captain candidates, and over dinner, real casual:
B: Rukia. You know your friend?
Rukia: My who now?
B: That friend of yours who shouts too much. The boorishly tall one. With the red hair. Is he in Squad Eleven now?
Rukia (wracking her brain frantically for people Byakuya would consider 'her friend'): You mean Renji?
B: Yes, him.
Rukia: What about him?
B: Is he in Squad Eleven? The Sixth Seat?
Rukia: ...maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The next day, Byakuya's office, Renji shows up for his job interview.
B: You must be Renji.
Renji: uhhhhhhhh sure why not?
#byakuya kuchiki#renji abarai#rukia kuchiki#i have spent over 5 years intensely thinking about the circumstances of renji's hiring and it just keeps getting stranger in my mind#i do think b was very excited about having a vice captain who was not picked by his grandpa and he genuinely like renji for an entire 5 min#like he was probably in the best mental state he'd be in for 50 years#'oh yeah me and this rowdy squad 11 guy are gonna have so many good swordfights' byakuya is thinking#'maybe i can even get him to have a conversation with my sister so i don't have to'#and then ::gestures vaguely at soul society arc::#thank you kubo#and thank you especially to whomever sent this question in#i am kissing you on the lips we will have a spring wedding#squad six first-name culture

I wanna know what Ikkaku knows about Urahara:
[Bleach 087]
Like, do they... know each other? The visual suggests that someone in the scene knows Urahara was a captain, and it sure ain't Ichigo. So I feel like we're meant to understand that Ikkaku knows this.
Urahara's name also holds weight in terms of Ichigo's viability as an opponent, which suggests Ikkaku knows Urahara as someone other than some rando criminal, or just as a Mad Scientist type. It's Ichigo's movement that impresses Ikkaku, not his strategic craftiness.
I don't try that hard to keep the Gotei's 20th Century straight in my mind, but we do know that during TBTP Zaraki wasn't 11th Captain yet, and therefore Ikkaku may not have been in the Gotei at that point then, ether. (There's a whole dispersal of 11th backstory filler eps, which I've been assuming aren't in the manga in any form, but who knows, maybe some of this backstory info also holds true here, too. In the anime, Ikkaku and Yumichika follow Zaraki into the Gotei.)
In any case, apparently Ikkaku has a whole Seireitei family (see: TYBW), so maybe they were well-positioned for all the hot TBTP goss regardless of whether Ikkkau was enlisted at the time.
Or does everyone just know who Urahara is? Obviously, he's a poorly kept secret at least as far as his outpost goes; he's made a whole business out of it. But if Rukia knew he'd been a captain she doesn't harp on it.
And if there's something you can count on me for, it is knowledge of random-ass Hitsugaya panels:
[Bleach 237]
Hitsugaya says he doesn't know who Urahara is. Well, he's heard the rumors about Urahara, but says Urahara is someone whose true nature can't be ascertained. He probably does know what Urahara used to be a captain. He's heard that he's formidable, and probably isn't someone to let your guard down around. Which, really, is all the things we know Ikkaku knows about Urahara. Hitsugaya's just not willing to extrapolate further based on rumor alone. Maybe Ikkaku is.
But based on how Urahara's name influences the way Ikkaku chooses to fight Ichigo, I feel like Ikkaku is not operating solely on rumor, either. Someone's battle prowess/skill as a mentor doesn't seem like something he'd accept without firsthand knowledge, even if he's willing to roll with it for other stuff. So I feel like it's perfectly defensible to argue that even if Ikkaku wasn't actually in the Gotei while Urahara was in the picture, he still had an ~encounter (and probably not while Urahara was in his Innocent Shopkeeper era).
Maybe Ikkaku ran into Urahara in the woods when Urahara was off making an impression on Kuukaku [1][2]. Or Ikkaku's Seireitei family sic'd the Onmitsukidou on him while he was off playing hooky in Rukongai! Tons of fun possibilities!
Of course, this raises the time-honored question of what, if anything, anyone in the current Gotei knows about TBTP. Because it really seems like they know nothing, and didn't even know there was something to not know. But for a lot of them that might be an effect of their willingness to pretend they know nothing? So I feel like you could go in a lot of directions with that. Not to have blorbo disease again, but Hitsugaya seemed like he was learning Vizard Lore in real-time during the Winter War, so apparently it's not like, part of some kind of Area 51 folder you gain access to when you become a captain lol. YOU HAD TO BE THERE. (BUT ALSO SOMETIMES NOT EVEN THEN)
#i just think it's wild we get this urahara info from ikkaku#who is self-professed about not caring about rukia or being involved with any of this shit in any way#it's fun to think about how characters who really have no connection or interaction in canon relate to each other#i mean ikkaku is off-panel for that hitsugaya rumination; he is technically there#but we don't *see* anything between him and urahara#now i'm curious about it!#madarame ikkaku#urahara kisuke#bleach headcanons#bleach reread 2021#bleach manga#bleach カラー#no brain just bleach#and that's the end of vol. 10!

i've brought this up before i'm sure, but byakuya being sooo self-involved during the ss arc and so myopically obsessed with rukia's execution and how it relates to him and makes him feel etc... that he just doesn't clock the massive government conspiracy going down opens such a juicy can of worms for characterization.
#i'm into the read that his behavior just stems from being the only son of the richest family in the soul society and how that upbringing#presents itself which is almost always this kind of convoluted selfishness. he has this surface level of respect for ichigo and his#fighting abilities. but a deeper more personal respect for how he had a hand in building his relationship with rukia.#or marrying a woman that looks like him/ getting close with her sister who looks and acts like him “you pointed your blade at my pride”#in all his relationships he tends to gravitate towards individuals that display that hot-blooded mercurial temperament he possesses before#he adopted that stoic demeanor. and if u follow that line of thinking even further self-involved ->#surrounds himself with his own reflections#then the fact that he doesn't get along or like any of the other characters that have a noble background could open another can of worms#on his own feelings of nobility#just my two cents tho#byakuya#byakuya kuchiki#💭

they haven't even told me the rukia renji past story and i am already getting sucked in
#yesss fight for rukia because you both love her so much#okay but like renji loving rukia so much but he CAN'T go against soul society so the only thing he can do for rukia is kill the guy that go#her into this position and ichigo loving rukia so much that he HAS TO SAVE HER because she is there because of him#also i am such a sucker for the childhood friends to estranged (sorta or enemies or ripped apart by something you get it) trope#so i was waiting on my knees for the rukia renji backstory#yes yes i started watching bleach for ichiruki but did you see the ethereal way renji saw rukia visions when he collapsed#idk man i am having fun#ichigo kurosaki#renji abarai#rukia kuchiki#renruki#<- just for book keeping#bleach live watch#bleach#also the soundtrack is just so good for me#ep 32

I think ishida bleach might be one of the worst rival/foil characters in shounen. he has no emotional ties to anything why is he even there. his only motivation for hanging around all the time and risking his life badly is that he slightly doesn't like ichigo?
#do they retcon this post timejump or something. i remember when the anime tried to do things eith him and. hm. made him a vampire????#tite kubo is the worst indulger of redundant characters we already have rukia!!! we quickly get renji AND byakuya!!!!!!!!

i know this is supposed to be emotional but i could never take ukitake seriously since he spoke like some wizened old master while saying actually the most important thing abt kaien being here is not to avenge his murdered wife but to defend his own honour
#maybe its something that got lost in translation#but it just sounds so damn silly#txt#bleach reread#anyway justice for miyako it still annoys me that they made her faceless in the manga 😔#also rukia saying “she was my idol” -> never thinks of her again except in the context of her husband#i liked the anime scene more i think it had an actual rukia&miyako interaction for one#like dont get me wrong i love kaien and obviously rukia thinks of him more since shes haunted by him#its just. idk#forget it back to reading

I'm divided…
… I like Rukia getting something to do, I like the Kuchiki sibs plus their idiot, I like that she was allowed to hold her own despite this being a 2000s shonen manga, you know what I mean. Like for what it was many of the women in BLEACH made it through fairly well and I like that. I like Rukia being cool, I like her Bankai, I like it.
But at the same time… Like I get why it was her, and I like it, and I don't so much mind as… Well, I just kinda wish that Renji had gotten to kill As Nodt, since he was the one who actually had to watch Byakuya get maimed like that? Like obvi Rukia deserves a shot too, like I said, I understand it being her and I don't mind, I just kinda would… Also like to see a reality where Renji got to do him in.
Not necessarily in canon, bc yes, give Rukia more to do? Like I just want an au where Renji got him. Them. Finish what he tried to start before getting punted.
It's like I like the way it was and I wouldn't actually change it bc we always need more women being able to fight on their own, and I liked what was done. I loved Byakuya just showing up to get his bankai back and then leaving the rest to his sister, I love love love her getting Bankai.
I just. Want to see the version where Renji gets a go at him after having to watch that.
Like I don't want to write it myself, but I want it.
#Firebird Randomness#Spoilers#Byakuya was my first grumpy tormented father/older brother figure w/ a katana#and he is still near and dear to my heart#I loved the Kuchiki sibs and their idiot whom they love#I'm a little disappointed that Renji and Byakuya's relationship didn't get MUCH focus#but I know why it's the nature of the genre and the era#one thing I did love about that last arc (and I wasn't a particularly huge fan)#was it showing how far they've come#I don't think Byakuya hated Renji as much as he pretended from the start#if he did he would never have agreed to have him as his assistant captain#but I do think he was too closed off/projecting a bit#like when he just throws Renji in jail after their fight I think he's taking out the anger he feels towards himself on Renji#bc Renji had the nerve to do the thing Byakuya deep down feels he SHOULD be doing but can't bring himself to#he's ashamed of himself and takes it out on Renji#until he gets a little sense knocked into him by nearly dying as you do#this is shonen#anyway I could go on about them I actually really love them and how they come to understand each other#I love Renji and Rukia being The Most Important people to Byakuya at this point#they're his family#I could go on but I'll run out of tags so I'll leave it here#was just going back through and had Thoughts and listen have YOU ever tried to explain BLEACH#to people who have never watched it???#you can't you just can't#Things You Didn't Know Fire Was Into

do I think bleach is a good manga, narratively speaking? no
did I enjoy reading it anyway? absolutely
#maria rambles#bleach#if nothing else it gave me a lot of characters I genuinely love#and an interest in looking for fix it fics#but really just. I have so many complaints. and they’re going in the tags so I’m not bothering anyone with them#I don’t love ichihime as a pairing but it isn’t strictly because I don’t like Orihime#I don’t think she was given enough chances to really develop as a character. she flatlined after a while and it was really frustrating#she never really gets a chance to prove herself since TYBW really limits where she actually steps in to help#and past a certain point she basically functions as a conscience for ichigo to bring him out of his hollow form#the other problem is that Rukia gets the same treatment#she gets sidelined so often after the soul society arc. she gets her ass handed to her in nearly every fight#and she and ichigo can’t even be seen together as friends in the final arc. they’re literally almost never in the same place at the same#time. because they had to push the fact that her love interest was renji and ichigo’s was Orihime#don’t even get me started on chad#that poor guy had Zero relevance to the plot#he loses his fights on hueco mundo and literally never has a badass moment again#I don’t count TYBW because we don’t actually see him do anything#ishida is also a can of worms to me#not to mention all the captains/vice captains#WHY was the zombiefication of hitsugaya even necessary????#he came out of it immediately and then it was like. well. that happened. let’s move on#I realize Kubo was probably very pressed for time and had to get out all his plot points on a time crunch#but like. good god. that entire arc is a mess and a half#the only thing I really praise is bringing back the arrancars. but even then. they were barely relevant#ughhhhhhhhhh it’s such a shame because I really genuinely loved the start of this series

#byakuya kuchiki#toshiro hitsugaya#rukia kuchiki#my fanart#byakuya spent 40 minutes trying to get all the stickers perfectly positioned while hitsugaya pretended not to know him#and then he spent another 25 minutes while hitsugaya leaned over (under?) his shoulder and Offered Opinions#two extremely serious men#both matsumoto and hinamori have tried to arm wrestle rukia for possession of this photograph but rukia is extremely good at arm wrestling#my gosh i hope other people find this funny#after i added the 'work friends' text i laughed so hard i couldn't breathe#pls don't anyone look too close at rukia's squad 13 letterhead i can barely read and write in english

stalled my bleach re-read at the rukia + kaien fight. it’s still too sad idc rukia isn’t just lines to me she’s real and she’s my friend and i hate seeing her go thru something like this😭
#thinking abt it from her pov is like. she gets ditched by her bff + soulmate#gets adopted by a dude who won’t even look at her#her nepotism baby status alienates her from her colleagues#but then finally here comes someone who actually treats her like a person and that kindness means so much 2 her that she falls a little bit#in love with him but then she’s put in a situation where she has to mercy kill him#and after that it's just decades of guilt and self-isolation and self-loathing and just feeling like this entire culture rejected you#honestly i'm choosing to read her giving her powers to ichigo after talking to him for 10 minutes as her just being like fuck it#literally thank god bleach ended w/ her becoming a captain and having a family#ok rukia tangent over#rukia kuchiki#bleach

Chapters: 2/4 Fandom: Bleach (Anime & Manga) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Abarai Renji/Kuchiki Rukia Characters: Abarai Renji, Kuchiki Rukia, Kuchiki Byakuya Additional Tags: Pre-Relationship Summary:
“Ryōta Shumayaki is looking to marry off his second daughter. It’s common for nobles to marry younger daughters off to powerful members of the Court Guard Squads when the opportunity arises, in order to increase the family’s overall spiritual power, and you’ve just shown that you’re worth consideration!”
Renji’s brow furrowed.
“That explains the other invitations,” he said after a long moment. Rukia couldn’t help herself-- she burst out laughing again.
#bleach#fanfiction#chapter 2 is heeere#tbqh i want to write an au#where aizen steps on a tack and dies of sepsis before any of the events of the manga occur#and after several years as lieutenant of six renji gets bankai#and byakuya is like hmmmm#and brings him home for dinner to “meet” rukia#rukia is like???#renji is like wait my plan worked??????#and then they fall in love and get married and live happily ever after#characterization-wise this makes no sense but that doesn't mean i don't want it
