I would love to see a fic on this.
As requested by our-flame-never-goes-out. :)
Of course, it was Rukia who, in canon Bleach, gave Ichigo his original powers and then trained him in the ways of being a shinigami. But what if it were Renji who was sent to Karakura Town on a supposedly routine assignment, only to find himself losing his powers to some weird human? How would Bleach be different then?
1. Renji would sacrifice his powers out of “weird-hair solidarity.”
In canon, Rukia’s motivation for giving Ichigo her powers was based partly on not wanting a family of humans to die, but mostly on the fact that Ichigo just looked so much like Kaien. But in this new reality, Renji’s motivation would be based largely on the fact that Ichigo has weird hair, just like him.
(later)
Byakuya: Renji….I understand.
Byakuya: This boy….has weird orange hair that reminds you of your own weird red hair.
Ichigo (bleeding on the ground): THAT was your motivation??
Renji: Hey! Don’t judge me!
2. Renji would follow Ichigo to school (in terrible clothes).
Like Rukia, Renji would stalk Ichigo until Ichigo agreed to be a shinigami. Unlike Rukia, though, Renji would show off his penchant for, just, really terrible clothing.
Renji: Yo.
Ichigo: WE HAVE A UNIFORM HERE, MAN!
Ichigo: Also what are you doing here?
Renji: Being a lot cooler than you, to be honest.
Ichigo: That is just not true.
3. Renji would sleep under Ichigo’s bed.
Unable to fit in Ichigo’s closet due to being giant, Renji would instead just sleep under Ichigo’s bed.
[hollow warning sound]
Ichigo: Where the hell is that noise coming from?
Renji (appearing suddenly from beneath the bed): Ichigo, let’s go!
Ichigo: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN UNDER MY BED?!
4. Renji would still do chores for Urahara.
After all, like Rukia, Renji would need help with his mysterious “powers not coming back” affliction. And so would buy stuff from Urahara’s shop.
Urahara: All right! Your total comes to….sweeping my shop!
Renji: …or I could pay with money?
Urahara: No, that doesn’t feel right.
5. Chad and Renji would send a hollow to hell together.
I bring this up only because I want you to imagine - really imagine - Chad picking Renji up, and throwing him into the air to fight the hollow.
Renji: You are freakishly strong.
Chad: You just watched me swing a telephone pole like a baseball bat.
Chad: This surprises you?
6. Eventually, Byakuya and Rukia would come to arrest him.
I have decided that in this universe, Renji and Rukia have basically switched places: Rukia is the lieutenant of Squad 6, and Renji is an unseated officer. He’s also in Squad 6, though, because Renji still secretly wants to beat Byakuya. Naturally enough, when it comes time for Renji to get arrested, his childhood friend and the super scary captain he admires from afar come for him.
Rukia: Abarai! Abarai Renji!
Renji: K-Kuchiki Rukia, is that you?
Rukia: …
Rukia: You know, it hasn’t been *that* long since we were in school together. Why are we being so formal?
Renji: Well, from my side it’s mostly because of the scary, murderous look you have on your face.
Rukia: That’s fair.
7. Ichigo’s first big fight would be against Rukia.
And he’d nearly lose, too. Because in this universe, Rukia never hesitates to use her shikai.
Ichigo: Ice powers? Do all of you shinigami have elemental powers?
Rukia: How ignorant you are, fool!
Rukia: You don’t even know that my brother, a famous captain, has flower petal powers!
Ichigo: Flowers are basically an element.
Rukia: FLOWERS ARE SO NOT AN ELEMENT
8. In jail, Renji would mostly be sad about losing Rukia.
He just can’t get over how depressing his life became after he and Rukia went to shinigami school. First he ended up in the remedial class while Rukia went to the top, then she got adopted by some hot-shot captain, and then she became lieutenant. And Renji ended up as some unseated officer. It’s no wonder he’s about to be executed, he thinks.
Renji: Maybe if I had trained harder.
Renji: Maybe if I had practiced kido more.
Renji: I just got so tired of blowing myself up!!
9. But Rukia would defect to save Renji.
After her epic fight with Ichigo and 20 minute flashback, I mean.
Rukia: Ichigo, I am on my knees begging you! You have to save Renji!
Rukia: Because sure, he may be a big dumb idiot sometimes, but he is MY big dumb idiot!
Ichigo: …
Ichigo: Man. We’re both so shippy with that guy.
Ichigo: Is this an OT3 sort of situation, do you think?
Rukia: FOCUS
10. Rukia would have to fight Byakuya.
She’d meet Ichigo during his training for bankai, let him know that Renji’s execution has been moved up, and then go off to fight her captain and brother, Byakuya.
Byakuya: Rukia….are you really going to fight me, your brother, in order to defend a scruffy peasant?
Rukia: If I have to, yes!
Byakuya: Respect.
Rukia: What?
Byakuya: I mean I will never let you get away with this.
11. Ichigo would rescue Renji at the very last second.
And then do his best to strike a cool pose on top of the scaffolding…while holding Renji.
Renji: PUT ME DOWN
Ichigo: Dude, I carry a sword bigger than me. I’ve got this.
Renji: THAT ISN’T REALLY THE POINT
12. And would then throw Renji directly at Rukia.
This would not work as well as the opposite did in canon.
Rukia: WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU FOOL?!
Renji: OH MY GOD I’M ABOUT TO KILL RUKIA
Ichigo: Wait, why did I think Rukia could catch Renji?
Ichigo: Oh well I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Finally, someone articulates the whole dynamic of Renji's soul in early Bleach and how that would have led to an incomplete Bankai with the rushed training. Plus, there's also the way he honed himself solely to fight Byakuya, but ended up having a snake based Bankai that was missing Zabimaru's baboon motif until TYBW.
in before i see any hot takes on zabimaru being a prick for holding out on renji: they didn't. they gave him half a bankai when he needed one, even though he wasn't ready. they gave him a half-bankai he could face byakuya with, a half-bankai that gave him the courage to turn his back on forty years of being a good soldier because it was all for rukia anyway. zabimaru said "jump in the ocean, renji, we'll learn to swim as we go" and if my man has taken a lot of L's over the years, it's because he's literally learning on the job what every captain in the gotei has had years to practice and perfect.
Emergency commission.. 🥺🙏
I would like to have my dad's cell phone repaired. I feel sorry for him because he has no use. because I don't have savings right now I can't buy him a new one, maybe even with a small amount of commission you can help me thank you guys.. 🙏😇

I was debating whether to reblog a post related this week's Bleach episode but I couldn't stop laughing at this xD
From Bleachlists’ “If the captains and lieutenants swapped bodies…” list. :3
I also put Bleachlists’ URL in the watermark as a precaution from art thieves (People who crop shit from artworks are art thieves o u o) because hey, I don’t want other people taking credit for her brilliant ideas, too.
And yeah, I added a bit of OOC-ness for the humor *cough*pimp daddy yama*cough* XD
Orihime Rikka outfits! + Silly Ichihime extra

This is the post, just a bunch of Hime Designs
Concepts:
Shun-no: nurse??.
Ayame: wife kind of outfit.
Lily: superhero.
Hinagiku: Superspy, that is an alien, so doesn't know how to dress.
Baigon: samurai??
Tsubaki: assassin
Opinion on the 12th division?
Current 12th division? Eh, my opinion on them as a division is mixed like I have a distaste for some of their actions and yet I'm mainly invested in certain characters of that division. If characters like Akon, Nemu, and Mayuri weren't in it, then 12th division wouldn't be as noteworthy to me despite how essential they are to the Seireitei.
The first scene of the 12th division reacting to Rukia's gigai (ew) and even before that where it's likely that they were behind Project Spearhead to use dead bodies doesn't exactly endear me with them lol. I will say that the designs of the individual members in their manga debut fit well with how they work compared to your normal, everyday shinigami, love that aspect of them.
It says a lot that this division's officers were behind it which I feel uncomfortable with. However, I do feel a little sorry for the unassuming shinigami in Squad 12 that are just there like Mayuri being their captain, potentially getting turned into living bombs without consent (who even consents to that?!) no thanks, bro.
However, I'll admit that they're important in creating the Soul Society tech that I enjoyed seeing in the early arcs. Watching them in the TYBW anime somewhat helps in viewing them in different scenarios outside their comfort zone, especially Akon and Mayuri. Akon adds so much personality and quirks to the division's scenes, despite being a non-combative side character who does his job no matter what (dude needs a vacation plz).
Besides that, there are details about this division that do interest me like how they'll create stuff for Squad 11, like Kenpachi's eyepatch and Ikkaku's teeth, like are they open to requests? Also, Hikifune and Senjumaru hail from 12th division before Urahara set up the SRDI makes me wonder what previous purpose 12th division was meant to represent.
Thanks for the ask, anon!
Did we see it?
Really. Could it be possible that his bankai was actually stealth shown in the manga but, in pure Aizen fashion, no one noticed?
First: his shikai.
We know pretty well how that works. Kyouka Suigetsu is the most powerful illusion-type zanpakutou in the same manner Hyorinmaru is the most powerful Ice-type and Ryuujinjakka is the most powerful fire-type. Unmatched and insurpassable in power, versatility and sheer excellence by any other of that type.
He's able to cast illusions on people that control all of their senses and make people see and hear and taste and smell and feel what he wants them to.
His most common use of it as we see it to make one person seem like another. Those random shinigami to appear to be him so he can be off doing other things and no one is the wiser. Hinamori during that Fake Karakura battle.
He can also make people deaf and blind to things. None of the captains an lieutenants were able to hear the screaming, pleading and defensive actions Hinamori and Ichigo certainly made as they brutalized her thinking she was Aizen. He hid all evidence of his own movements and the swap with Hinamori and made himself seem like he was Hinamori so he could stand back and watch, which naturally requires hiding his reiatsu.
Through that whole fight he coordinated the illusion among dozens of people to make that work. It's horrible what he did, but also and impressively tricky bit of choreography and precision skill. Cruel but brilliant.
So, in specific, he can think of an illusion he wants people to percieve as reality, or of a certain bit of reality he wants them to not notice, and anyone who has been brought under it's power by witnessing the shikai release (the main achilles heel to it - the fact that it needs that prerequisite to have any effect at all) is completely helpless to resist or see through it unless he releases them or they find the trick of touching Kyoka Suigetsu's blade.
All evidence indicates he is 100% in control of and cognizant of exactly what illusion he is making and what the person sees.
So then, how the hell does this panel make sense:
He had no idea what Ywach was seeing until he said it.
That doesn't make sense with what was previously established.
Not unless Aizen is using his bankai and his zanpakutou is a more pure expression of the philosophy of shikai and bankai like Rukia's.
Rukia's cold freezes herself in shikai and she's able to send blasts of it out through the tip of her blade. In bankai she throws that cold out into a large sphere around her, freezing everything along with herself.
If Aizen's shikai is him internally crafting illusions and putting them in peoples heads, then perhaps his bankai sends his power out and lets the target mind create the illusion itself. Maybe it works more like the Mandela effect - giving a vague suggestion of Aizen's chosing, and then the mind fills in the details and certainty.
Having the call come from inside the house would definitely make a more unquestioned illusion - one that could even trick and blind a man/monster able to look into the future. Ywach, after all, is looking for actions the people he's fighting are going to take in the future. He's there for an epic battle with himself as the hero and about to smite the foolhardy, and especially the one he's deemed the pinnacle of the resistance - Ichigo. He's never said to be able to see the consequences of his own actions - or if he can then he doesn't. He just uses the Almighty to learn what his opponent is going to do and then counteract it - he never actually looks forward at his own actions to see which will succeed or fail.
If Aizen quietly activated bankai previously, without it being noticed (and he of all people could definitely do that, even with an all-seeing god) and implanted a suggestion like don't see Ichigo or to swap the face of whoever is fighting him with someone else, and therefore made Ywach's own mind create a narrative he's expecting to see (the narrative of fighting and defeating Ichigo, the only man with the power to kill him once-and-for-all, and damn but that makes him sound like Voldemort) well...then there's nothing for him to see but his own reflected thoughts bouncing back from the future instead of the truth (that Ichigo is sneaking up behind him), is there?
So: in conclusion, I suggest Aizen did use his bankai and that his bankai throws a general shape of the illusion Aizen wants to cast/the effect he wants to have, but instead of him crafting the details it forces the victims mind to warp and create the illusion itself, making it more completely entrenched - possibly something with permanent effects that makes the person unable to accept any reality but that even after Aizen withdraws his influence.
