[v25]IchiRuki FC: The Story of Destiny Begins

[NeoSapien]

Kubo said that there are somethings he wish to develop first in the manga as he was a bit worried about the last line in FTB.

Wait. When and where did Kubo say this, and what was said last line of the movie that worried him?

[Michsi]

I'll rather Kubo's intention to be portrayed in the manga storyline. Kubo said that there are somethings he wish to develop first in the manga as he was a bit worried about the last line in FTB. This shows that he did consider the manga when he did FTB. So no worries.

Kubo drew the artwork for the FTB novel, did he not?

Whutwhutwhut? You mean the -''maybe we were connected before we even met and even if we were to separate we would reunite somewhere else?''-line
GOD I was wondering about that and that maybe it was forshadowing for something that would happen later on in the manga......unless this isn't the line you're refering to.

I haven't seen the FTB novel yet.......

The interview. EDIT: Found it!! (Thanks to Navi's compilation)

We heard the scenario was completed after a lot of hardship?

The subject matter of the story is something I can agree with but there are still parts that made me worried until the end. Especially the speech in the last scene, I discussed and decided it with the director at the recording studio (laughs)
To tell you the truth there are still bits I wanted to develop but if I do that who knows how long the film would be (laughs)

@Michsi

I'm referring to the "Maybe we were long connected even before we met" line.

Yeah but it does continue with ''if we were separated we would reunite again somewhere else'' right? I'm talking about that forshadowing something.

[ashido fan]

Well, according to Annie's friend, it was like this.

I'm not sure whether it is a fore shadowing or not (though I hope it is).

"May be we were connected long before we even met. And even if we were separated (cut off) we will reunite (re connected) elsewhere for sure."

"May be we were connected long before we even met.

It is a fact from the manga based on the sand and the rotator chapters.

Or could it be Ichigo and Rukia's past that we didn't know, of how why Rukia was the one destined to meet him. This sounds a bit far-fetched, so I'll go with my first one.

And even if we were separated (cut off) we will reunite (re connected) elsewhere for sure."

Reminds me of chapter 317. Really. The promised reunion.
Or it could be their strong bond that ties them no matter what happens.

It sounds like Kubo wanted the speech to be even longer (and mushier)?

"May be we were connected long before we even met.

This part isn't a foreshadowing. It is a fact from the manga based on the sand and the rotator chapters.

I've got this weird scenario in my head that would involve them separating at some point, it isn't so much a wish as a hunch. I don't know I just have this feeling that at some point the tension between SS and Ichigo will worsen and it will cause a greater rift between them and that Rukia will side with SS because she puts duty before anything....or something like that.

I just have this feeling that at some point the tension between SS and Ichigo will worsen and it will cause a greater rift between them and that Rukia will side with SS because she puts duty before anything....or something like that.

Nah she won't...the fact that she disobeys direct order from Yamamoto and follows Ichi to save Orihime in HM already proves that Rukia puts Ichigo above her duty as shinigami

the new teaser OP is awesome, this is the first time Pierrot aired that kind of teaser (direct snippets from the movie) whew they sure promoting this movie seriously

"May be we were connected long before we even met. And even if we were separated (cut off) we will reunite (re connected) elsewhere for sure."

aside from 'destiny' and 'sand and rotator' reference, this statement simply spoke that whatever happens they're refused to be separated and will find each other through any way, so it's funny if people still insisting that they'll live separately in the end (Ichi in living world and Rukia in SS) when they said that they will always find a way to be together under whatever circumstance.... and yes this line is from the mangaka himself

thank you to all the members who brought goodies

[ashido fan]

Even if they are separated, they are still connected. Their bond cannot be erased by anyone, anywhere or anytime. That's what FTB is focussing all about. It's their unbreakable bond.

That's why IchiRuki is classified as a special relationship by Kubo himself. Time and tide may separated two persons' heart, but Ichigo's emotional attachment to Rukia (and vice versa) remains and their bond is still there.

And even if we were separated (cut off) we will reunite (re connected) elsewhere for sure."
This is so true. Even they may not be physically together (if Rukia decides to stay in SS) but their bond remains. They will meet again when Ichigo goes to SS when he dies. Or to some he may stay in SS, who knows?

But what I'm trying to say is regardless they are side by side or not, they will be connected. Always. It has been like this since the beginning of Bleach. And I've never seen them emotinally detached before even if Kubo separates them during nearly the whole SS arc and HM arc.

[Michsi]

You know what's funny. If you think about it, Rukia and Ichigo didn't spend all that much time together in these 300 and something chapters of Bleach I mean it's the first 60 or so chapters and then comes SS in which they meet only a few times, then there's the reunion in Karakaura but also short lived as Ichigo goes to train with the vaizards and after that a bit in the beginning of the HM arc. Yet STILL the connection and the importance of it is still felt throughout the entire series. To some degree I fear the separation part because in all honesty I really would like them to have some time together like in the good ol' days. But separation also means emotional ANGST of ''please don't leave me, I need you'' proportions and like that
