OMG I love that chapter title!!! It almost made me tear up a bit. I am a total sucker for friendship themes like this one. There's something about a group of people -- especially weirdos and outcasts -- forging bonds and triumphing over adversity that really speaks to me. This group's bond and how each member has always interpreted it for him/herself -- from Ichigo's "I must protect" to Orihime's "I must get stronger" to Ishida's "I must prove myself" -- has always been more important to me than any of the possible romantic relationships. I know lots of people are waiting anxiously for IchiRuki or IchiOri reunions, but me, I just want to see all 6 of them reunite. With a big group hug -- even if Ishida has to be dragged into it against his will. (It's what he really wants anyway, he just won't admit it.)
In fact, to hell with the ship wars. I think they should all just move in together and form a communal marriage. :-D
