|  Arranged Marriages for Nobles Okay, before you shoot me, I know it's filler. But if the current anime arc's noble laws hold true in canon, it puts a very interesting spin on the "Isshin is a Shiba" theory, because avoiding an arranged marriage is plenty of motivation to defect from the Soul Society, which he probably found stuffy and intolerable to begin with, thanks to being a noble and all. It also puts a whole new perspective on Byakuya's marriage to the commoner Hisana. What do you guys think?

| if Isshin is from the Shiba clan then i have a feeling he left for another reason thus this is the reason why the Shiba Clan is no longer considered to be a part of the 5 Noble Houses (now 4 Noble Houses)

| 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. |
