I mean, Rukia literally gives Ichigo her soul-reaping powers to save him. If that’s not true love, I don’t know what is. And then, later on in the series, Ichigo starts a full-on war against the Soul Society to save her! How could the creators of this series, which centers on these two and their connection, not have them become endgame?! Rukia and Ichigo deserve better, and I want them to get an alternate ending in a Shoujo anime one day.
