Yoruichi... Byakuya's Anger... Young Byakuya... Yoruichi was a Captain... ONE OF THE DEADLIEST CAPTAIN'S... Young Byakuya didn't take any of her shit...
Oh yeah... He OBVIOUSLY wouldn't lash out to authority...
Would Rukia stand up to either Kenpachi or Soi Fon...? Nope... Not once... Don't make me laugh... Ichigo only Listened to Soi Fon when she both had the upper hand on him and was being Soi Fon with him... He didn't even have to think against drawing his sword against her...
A Captain Voices her opinions to people above her... Rukia only voices her opinions to people who don't matter... Renji and ANY of the Lieutenants... She doesn't even do it to Toshiro...
A Captain stands up for what they believe... Byakuya "Bothers By the Book"... This means... When Byakuya is given an order he KNOWS is utter bull... He follows the order EXACTLY as it was given to him... I.E. only bringing Rukia and Renji back to Soul Society... He then exploits every plot hole he can find with said order... (Like bringing robes for the Hueco Mundo desert) Just to piss off the moron who gave it to him...
Hell Yamamoto was screaming at Kenpachi, Byakuya, and Kyoraku for their Coats... They were flat out ignoring and MOCKING THE STRONGEST FUCKING CAPTAIN IN EXISTANCE...
When Byakuya follows an order... He only follows the Order out of Convenience...
Rukia gets an order... She takes an order... She doesn't even realize if the order has Loopholes... She KNOWS there is nothing to her... She is terrified to anger someone above her... (RUKIA ONLY BECAME A LIEUTENANT BECAUSE UKITAKE MORE OR LESS INSISTED... I REFUSE TO BELIEVE RUKIA BROUGHT UP THE NOTION HERSELF!!!)
The idiot 3rd seats (YES I KNOW THEIR NAMES) they give THEMSELVES ORDERS Ukitake would have never even thought of... Quite Frankly Sentaro has a better chance of being a Captain than Rukia ever would...
Oh... And don't forget that Kisuke went from 3rd seat to Captain... So rank is bullshit... Kenpachi was flat out unranked when he became Captain...
SPUNK, MOXI, NERVE, BALLS, GALL, STYLE... A CAPTAIN MUST HAVE THESE...
