They were going to kill Rukia because the office of 46 said so, without explanation or further discussion. Some of the rules of SS do need to be changed, and it's weird that they'd bring it up in a filler arc instead of in the main manga storyline. I guess it wasn't something of concern to Tite, or maybe it's too early in the series for him to develop that part of the story.

I watched the OP again and didn't like it as much. I'm not that big a fan of Japanese music where they intersperse English words with Japanese words, especially when it interrupts the flow of the song.

@DarthEnder: the fourth is hand-to-hand (or "barehanded" as Lunar translates it) combat.
i agree with you, the rukia situation is a perfect example of why they might need to change the ways SS is run but ichinose's whining is still annoying. like you said he had hundreds of years to get over what happened yet he still chooses to dwell on it like a little emo kid. his former captain wasnt murdered in cold blood, he accepted zaraki's challange to a duel and he lost which is one of the legitimate ways to become a captain in SS so he must of known the risks involved.
