Occasional lurker, first time poster here. This came up in casual conversation with a friend and fellow Bleach fan and I'm really hoping someone can offer some other take to make this a bit easier to swallow. :/
Kubo's done a pretty good job of creating a large cast of characters that people care about and are invested in, even if there are widely differing opinions as to how that cast should be handled and how it's being handled, etc etc. One thing I've noticed about the background stories of some of the main male characters is the use of the loss of a loved one as a plot device to give them 'angst,' some depth or twist in their character motivation or background story.
That loved one is... often a woman.
