clarification for those misconstruing kubo's words over the years

 

 

 

 

Question- 先生としてはこの2人の絆というものをどうお考えなんでしょうか？ 

Kubo- 友情とも違うし、恋愛感情でもないんですよね、2人の関係は。これだけ近い位置にいながら恋愛に発展しないというのは、ほかの作品ではなかなかないんじゃないかな、とも思いますし（笑）。 
ただ今回、一護が「ルキアは大切な仲間だ」と言うシーンがあるんですけど、その言葉が2人の関係性を良く表していると思います.

Question- What do you think the bond is that these two have with each other?

Kubo- It’s not friendship but it’s not an amorous feeling either. With these 2’s relationship, I think there is no other relationship like them in other works where despite both standing in a very close position with each other it is not romance (laughs). But in this year’s movie there is a scene where Ichigo says Rukia is his “Precious nakama” and I think that explains their relationship well.

Lol, fake translation. Not hard to find them. Want me to find you 50 fake translations with Kubo saying that Ichigo will marry Rukia? IchiHime fans went crazy with all the fake spoilers saying Orihime had a baby in 685... No mangaka who makes his pairings cause so much debate would straight out dubunk one in an interview. Easy way to lose money.

it's not fake, but you're free to think that. keep thinking all their scenes are romantic, and when it's still showing they're not in a romantic relationship only proves the point further.

 

if they truly were "more than friends less than lovers" then they would be in a relationship long ago. ichigo harbors no romantic feelings for anyone.

 

10 years and still platonic. just accept it.

No, it happens in the end if it was all romantic. That's how anime works.

 

And "more than friends, less than lovers" was a comment made 10 years ago. Since then, we've had him say that he wants their relationship to develop and grow to be more, and we've had 95% of the moments that IchiRuki fans consider a moment with romance. Were they less than lovers but more than friends the first few months of their relationship together (beginning of series)? Of course.

 

Step one: Become friends

 

Step two: Realize you're more than friends

 

Step three: Develop more feelings

 

Step four: Be confirmed canon in the last chapter

 

IchiRuki happens, and the majority is happy!

lol their relationship reached its peak many years ago and stayed that way. it's not changing because the characters don't feel that way about it each other. their relationship is beautiful, it doesn't need to be romantic just because you interpret their scenes wrong.

 

stay salty. #ichihime 2016.

Show one panel in the manga where Ichigo developed love for Orihime. Go ahead.

Show me one panel where Nardo developed love for Hinata. Go ahead.

I decided to do a little research, and I found a couple questions Kubo got during Fade to black, and they are pretty important to know!

 

 

the subtitle was given from you?
 

From the 2nd movie the subtitle was brought up by me. From the time when I first heard that the memory of Rukia will disappear an image came into my mind that Rukia’s memory of Ichigo and the gotei 13 will be disappearing. From there the meaning of “Disappearing into black” became the subtitle “Fade to black”.

 

 

 

Please tell us the highlight of the movie in your opinion

 

With the battle it is not Ichigo vs. Gotei 13 but Ichigo vs. Rukia. In the first scenario the last boss was not decided yet and someone raised the question “Then what will we do about the last boss?” and we thought if Ichigo forgot about Rukia we thought “We want to see Ichigo and Rukia!”. We then started the discussion from there. In this battle there is actually a scene that links with the very first chapter of the comic and in my opinion I feel as though that is the most important scene in the movie. It links to what director said “back to the beginning” .

 

 

Because you were involved in this movie were there any bits you drew thinking about the theme “Back to the Beginning”?

In my own thought I did not come up with the idea of drawing the scene where Rukia gives Ichigo her power like the very first chapter. So returning that scene in the movie gave me a strong impact and thought it was very interesting. On top of that because of this story I recognized once again that Ichigo and Rukia’s relationship is something special.

 

 

 

 

One Comment I wanna make about no IchiRuki moments in the final arc, again this will be for the last time 

 

Chapter 515 after He saw Rukia in the hospital, and what exaclty happened again?

 

 

 

 

[luffyq1]

Show one panel in the manga where Ichigo developed love for Orihime. Go ahead.

you must have missed the part where i said ichigo harbors no romantic feelings for anyone. 

 

good job.

So if you believe that, and you ship IH, then you must follow the logic that a man must love a woman simply because she loves him, even though he doesn't feel the same way. Interesting, you sound like certain fandoms...

[TouKen4Life3g]

So far, do you find the ending better, worse, or the same as Naruto?

Unfortunately those fandumbs were more correct than we were my friend.(kitten 693, damn it to hell.)

I wouldn't say "correct", as either way you look at it they were wrong. It just so happened that Kishi is a moron.

[rocci]

By ending do you mean the final arc or the final chapter?

@ahk
You need love arrow from one or two characters to make pairing work. So far only ichihime has that.

[LuckyChi7]

When it comes to romances in story one does not have to state they are in love just to make a pairing work, there is also something called subtle about it too.
