I think we should talk more about the mind-fuck that was the fullbringer arc and what that would’ve done to Ichigo’s mental state, especially in regard to potential trust issues + anxiety stemming from the fear that he can’t trust his own mind (because being the only person to remember something, even knowing why that’s the case, has to do a number on your self-confidence) + trauma expressed in nightmares and panic attacks when his memories aren’t lining up with someone else’s. like how would you fucking cope after something like that?

#king’s court #bleach #ichigo kurosaki #kurosaki ichigo #let’s be real there’s no way Ichigo walks away from canon without an eighteen wheeler full of trauma #but this one. this one in particular really fucks with me #I have never seen Ichigo so broken as he was in the moment he realized the last of his friends and family #had been turned against him #so utterly alone he doesn’t even have the will to fight anymore #because Ichigo fights for other people #he can and does enjoy a fight I firmly believe that #but his purpose is to PROTECT #take that away and he’s a shell of himself as we saw #and yet when we pick back up in TYBW the slate’s been wiped clean like it never even happened #of all the things that piss me off about the trajectory bleach took this has to be kubo’s most egregious sin in my eyes
