The Semblance of a Bond
Shūkurō Tsukishima and Ichigo Kurosaki have a very unique relationship in Bleach. They have a strong bond that is unlike any other relationship between two characters in the series. But what exactly is the nature of this bond between them?
A Complex Friendship
On the surface, their relationship appears to have a temporary and weak element, as they seem to be against each other at times. But in reality, they have deep feelings for each other. They both have a mutual respect for one another and a deep level of understanding that can’t be found in other relationships. Ichigo is willing to go to great lengths to protect Tsukishima, and Tsukishima is willing to put complete trust in Ichigo.
Two Halves of a Puzzle
Tsukishima is the strategist and Ichigo is the warrior. Together, they are able to come up with effective plans of battle and strategy that are always successful. Equally important, the two of them understand each other on a level that can’t be found in regular friendships. Ichigo is the type of person who values honesty above all else and Tsukishima is someone who respects Ichigo’s views and opinions, and is willing to put trust in him.
Growing from Adversaries to Allies
At first, the two of them were just seen as enemies with opposing goals, but over time their relationship slowly grew into something more. Tsukishima was the one who actually initiated their friendship, by asking Ichigo to join his side, but it wasn’t until Ichigo finally understood that he wasn’t the enemy that the two became close. From then on, they have had a much deeper level of respect for one another and an understanding of each other that is hard to come by in any type of relationship.
