[PATREON Content of the Day! - May 8!]

I think you got one thing mixed up. Soul Reapers don't choose where they send a soul (Soul Society or Hell), it is automatic from Rukia's perspective. There are two opposing ways souls pass on. There is the Konso, which is the ceremony where Soul Reaper's tap the base of the sword to a deceased person's forehead, and then there is the slaying of hollows. They have the same end result of sending the soul to Soul Society, which is the afterlife. When a Soul Reaper kills a hollow, it cleanses the soul and sends it to Soul Society. However, if the hollow committed sins while they were alive then they are instead automatically sent to hell. Rukia did not decide that he deserved to go to hell... it was decided automatically via unknown means. We don't really know how bad their crimes have to be, but it is probably similar criteria to what crimes we would expect someone to go to Hell for IRL.

Chad is a Chad

There weren't nearly as many moments from the manga that were cut in these two episodes, especially compared to episodes 2 and 3. One moment was during the scene on the rooftop before Chad shows up, where one of the schools thugs tries to force them to leave, but Ichigo refuses not giving a sh*t. Before any serious trouble starts, Chad shows up and immediately one-taps him off screen and the scene proceeds as it does in the anime. Almost an inconsequential moment to cut since it doesn't really establish much of anything that already gets fleshed out properly relatively quickly in these two episodes and beyond. Though it does kinda reinforce Ichigo’s quiet confidence and his growing comfort in his new “protector” role. The more meaningful omission is Karin’s bathroom scene; it shows Karin getting sick and vomiting in the bathroom at her school. It seems to tie directly to her seeing the parakeet’s tragic memories. Her reaction is a visceral, physical response to the intense emotional and spiritual trauma bound within the bird, which only spiritually aware individuals like her can perceive. That’s a lot more impactful than the anime lets on. But overall, Orihime still very much reigns supreme in terms of most character establishing moments cut =( Honestly, folks in Ichigo's class assuming he and Rukia are romantically involved is admittedly a common occurrence in both the manga and the anime; in a way it makes sense considering they spend an unusual amount of time together, unaware of their more "spiritual" connection. it's intended to be comedic misunderstanding, and that mostly follows through in episode 4, but the anime sometimes struggles to keep that distinction clear in some future episodes in both subtle and annoyingly obvious ways =|

Guys, is this show really worth watching (haven't watched it)? Be honest
