If the theory (Isshin is a Shiba) is right, then its probably circumstances like that which led to Isshin giving up his Shinigami status and being with Masaki.
But I'm not sure about the theory (though I may've advocated it at times).
Coming to the arranged marriage matter- nobles usually DO have that sort of 'close-knit' marriages (from the Egyptians onwards at least), so Byakuya must really have loved Hisana!
Maybe KT should do a special chapter or something- 'Byakuya in love'.
Its pretty sad, you meet people (maybe even for a second time) in Soul Society, only to find out things don't last there either. Dead people die again, and probably so ad infinitum... I can see why people want an eternally blissful heaven- but perhaps reality is closer to what Soul Society's like...
I'm getting into the mythos too much... must fight it! Yeah, well, SS is rather sad for me. |
