Bleach chapter 415
I know all the things I've said in the past and I KNEW I'd one day cry for you... but Gin, please, please, PLEASE DON'T DIE!!!
To think all this time his intentions were the purest of pure... as a child he saw a man of great evil, and took it upon himself to bring him down?
That's how I saw this chapter, though I don't quite understand what Aizen was doing with those random Shinigami though.
(Hey, random guy's face we saw; he has the same eyebrows as Izuru *shot* Ah my desperate attempts to link Izuru's parents to TBtP-ish time)
I just...
To think not only was he good, but his intentions were just so pure... Gin of all people. As expected of Kubo, my emotions for Gin have done a complete 180. I suddenly have so much respect for him and I'm beginning to see the "Ichimaru-taichou" everyone else saw. Sure he's creepy and kind of annoying, but nevertheless he was Captain and strong, so you have a certain respect for him. Tousen and Aizen changed when they defected, so you could compare the two. Gin never did, and my entire time spent in the fandom was post-SS so it was hard to ever see him as a good guy. Didn't help that we spent SS trying to figure out if he was a good guy.
I cannot imagine this war ending and Izuru and Matsumoto-san not knowing why Gin fought, why he did all that he did. Good heavens Kubo you have to tell them!! The only way I will accept them not finding out any time soon is GIN SURVIVING!!
He's a good guy now, technically. So that gives him the power to survive? I mean Tousen... in the end his character wasn't redeemed per-say, but he wasn't really good in the end either, so he was still allowed to die? If Gin is good, fighting against Aizen, then he can't die right? RIGHT?!
That's just how Kubo works, right?!
ALL the panels of Gin just killed me this week... Gin's smile was NEVER there, this is HIM. This is the true Gin, isn't it? We are seeing him do exactly what he wants, no strings attached, for the first time! He's not doing it for fun, for Aizen, for the purpose of turning SS and all those in it against him. THIS IS WHAT HE WANTS. AAAAAHHHHHH!!
Seriously, I wasn't sure I'd feel this strongly about this, but I cannot get that last page out of my head!! GIIINNNN!!!!
Excuse me now while I go huddle up in a corner and cry for a man I never thought I'd shed this many tears for.
