No, more like soldiers, they have to do their job as professional as possible and end up as tools sometimes. And talking about Rukia she's a good example, she spent most of her time for her career in the army while others had something like a real life... so yes, she's pretty much occupied with fighting/getting stronger/.., to a point where she discarded poor Renji when she got adopted. So yes, Rukia is a professional who puts aside feelings/emotions to do her duty -> definitely not the girly side I was talking about

Rukia did not discard Renji. She actually wanted him to protest her adoption. He didn't instead told her to do it. He made friends easily while Rukia did not. That and his being convinced it was better to stay away from her. Is the reason they drifted apart. It was Renji who pulled away from Rukia and not the other way around Rukia does not put her feelings aside and duty first. To quote Ichigo "Were you thinking about your duty when you saved me last night". Rukia also put aside her duty to go to HM. Orihime is much the same as Rukia Except...Orihime is just emotionally weak. Her decision to go to HM was a stupid one. like Langus said..."completely useless and borderline pathetic. " |

*avoids Orihime going to HM argument like the plague, get tired of going in a damn circle*

Renji: Worrying about a warrior's life on the battlefield is only a insult. Rukia: Moving together huh? No doubt this is because you're worried about me...that isn't really like you Ichigo. I didn't come here, just to be protected by you! what started off as some sort of "rebelling" by not listening, ended up being a mission set up by Genryusai/Urahara when the Captains showed up. Duty was hardly put aside. |

Of course Renji wouldn't, he likes her too much to interfere with her adoption, but only because he had no self esteem regarding his social status. She accepted the Kuchiki's offer, so it's also her turn to settle things with her social environment and make sure they don't misunderstand what happens. How can she accept losing Renji over such a stupid reason..
What I meant about her emotions can be seen in the parting scene when they entered Las Noches. Ichigo was worried about her(and the rest) and she just had a "don't waste your care on me, don't protect me, bla" for him, well knowing she couldn't compete with her enemies, but doing her duty as a soldier by entering the battleground no matter what lies ahead. I don't want to put it in an ugly way like useless or pathetic, but that decision was not her brightest while in Orihime's case it indeed was the only choice left, and you certainly have to be either mentally ill or very strong to give in and sacrifice yourself for your friends without hesitation. Orihime saw how Ichigo failed to keep up with stupid Yammy and how Ulqiorra deflected Urahara's attack, Yoruichi ended up injured with just kicking Yammy around - then she had to heal Hitsugaya, a captain, with a freaked out Rangiku next to her, she also had to save Rukia with a hole in her chest -> the situation indeed seemed futile to her In battle both of them are most of the time useless, but they never give up or try to run away! Orihime even saved Maki Maki from Mayuri's bombs when she was still a noob and tried her everything with Sado/Tatsuki half dead on the ground and Yammy/Ulqiorra in front of her. And she slapped Ulqiorra when he toyed with her.. you remember what happend to oh-so-strong Rukia when Gin payed her a visit? ;p Rukia also accompanied her brother with Ichigo half dead unable to do anything, nobody would call that a stupid move as it was the only appropriate decision to make, again. You aren't emotionally weak just because you let your feelings out and shed a tear from time to time and you certainly aren't emotionally strong just because you wave around your sword. Or is it the black kimono that gives everyone a boost in emotional strength?

To further answer would go into shipping territory. Actually you could say it was set up by Byakuya. I believe he helped Rukia escape so he would be ordered or volunteer to go save her. Since they were there Genryusai/ Urahara exploited the opening created by Ichigo.( & co) If it was a real plan he could have just sent team SS in along with Ichigo and achieved the same results. |

I guess her only classic part would be the damsel in distress, but people hate her because it's Ichigo who has to save her, and this interferes with IchixRuki, so it's teh evil -> even the standard routine won't work out thanks to shipping(my vain wish: Ichigo turns out to be gay and marries Sado!). But I bet a lot of usually non-Shonen-ppl read Bleach because of her while Rukia(tomboy), Yoruichi(fapulous), Rangiku(same) or Hiyori(tsundere) got an even huger fanbase at Bleach's main target audience.

Is it Shounen Law for Dummies?
Those repetitious Kurosaki-kun's drove me up the wall. But I know it didn't really happen that way. So I want to choke-out the directors not Orihime (For once) @Helly Chan. Yep, that's what I think. |
