Byakuya Kuchiki vs Zommari Rureaux: True Love

Chapter 299

In a somewhat curious manner, Byakuya Kuchiki has two fights with opponents whose power revolves around love. Captain Kuchiki’s first love-related fight is his fight in the Arrancar Arc against the 7th Espada, Zommari Rureaux. His second love-related fight is one in the Thousand Year Blood War Arc against the quincy PePe Waccabrada who has the schrift “L”. In this post, I will discuss Byakuya’s fight with Zommari. The fight with PePe will be discussed in a different post.

I see Byakuya vs Zommari as a fight that showcases Byakuya’s growth after the Soul Society arc. Through this fight, we see that Byakuya (1) has changed what he takes pride in, and (2) has learned to some degree that love is not controlling.

Apologies

Hey there. My apologies for leaving this blog in the dust for a year. Life and work happened, and I wasn't able to keep posting. I'm rather surprised that during my time away, a lot of visitors have dropped by. Thanks for reading!

Now that things are a bit more sorted out, I do want to post again in this blog. Especially since I've left my Violet Evergarden review series hanging (sorry!). I've had a lot of time to think about whether I want to keep on writing since this is just something I do for fun. I think yeah, I still want to write. There's worth in getting my ideas out there. And in this AI-riddled age, writing is a great exercise to keep my skills and humanity intact :) . No promises about how often I'll be able to post, though. 

Lastly, I have another blog where I post stuff about books: https://booksandbases.blogspot.com/. I generally make shorter posts there. I know I probably read the randomest set of books but hey, perhaps you'll find something that appeals to you there xD
