Кутики Рукиа (朽木 ルキア, Kuchiki Rukia) — вымышленный персонаж аниме и манги Bleach, созданной Кубо Тайтом. Она встречается с Куросаки Итиго и по ряду обстоятельств вынуждена передать ему свою сверхъестественную силу синигами, поэтому сама временно не может сражаться. Рукиа принадлежит к 13 отряду Готэй 13, под командованием Укитакэ Дзюсиро.

Кутики Рукиа стабильно занимает высокие строчки в рейтинге персонажей, который проводится журналом Shonen Jump. По результатам первых двух голосований она занимала второе место, потом опустилась на третье[1], однако, согласно недавнему опросу, опять поднялась на вторую строчку, обойдя Куросаки Итиго на 66 голосов.[2] Рукию озвучивает сэйю Фумико Орикаса.

Описание персонажа

Although there was nothing she could have done to prevent Kaien's death, Rukia feels guilty about what happened to him throughout the series. Because she immediately killed Kaien without first trying to find a way to help him, Rukia convinces herself that she valued her own life over his. The only solitude she is able to find in his death is the belief that she saved him from the hollow's control.[3] This guilt-ridden attitude carries over to her relationship with Ichigo Kurosaki; when Rukia is taken into custody and Ichigo is gravely wounded in an attempt to save her, she assumes that he dies of his injuries. Feeling that Ichigo's death would have been avoided had she never met him,[4] Rukia loses her reason for living and resigns herself to her sentenced execution.[5]

Because of the amount of time she has spent with Ichigo, Rukia has been able to gain a keen understanding of his inner workings. She is as such always able to help him overcome his own self-doubts, showing him that he can and wants to complete a given task when he himself thinks otherwise.[6] Rukia's relationship with Ichigo is unique, for despite the relatively short amount of time they have known each other, Ichigo can easily confide in her and considers her a true friend.[4] Rukia's ability to get into others' heads comes into play a number of other times throughout the series, most commonly while in the human world. By playing the part of a poor, innocent girl, Rukia is able to get others to side with her and otherwise focus their scrutiny on an unrelated topic so that her peculiar actions might go unnoticed.[7]

Кубо Тайт часто шутит по поводу художественных способностей Рукии, точнее отсутствия таковых. Если кому-то (обычно Итиго) нужно объяснить что-либо непонятное, Рукиа в качестве иллюстрации к расскажу использует собственные картинки. Независимо от темы разговора, в качестве персонажей обычно выступают мишки, кролики и прочая лесная живность. Итиго незамедлительно оставляет саркастические комментарии, например:

Рукиа: Есть вопросы?
Итиго: Ну... Для начала хотел бы знать, что это за ужасные рисунки.[8]

Character outline

Background

Rukia died as an infant and was sent to Soul Society with her older sister, Hisana. Though Hisana initially tried to protect and provide for Rukia, she could not insure her own survival while caring for a baby, and thus abandoned Rukia.[9] As Rukia grew up she befriended Renji Abarai, and over the coming years the two stayed together and looked out for one another. Once they entered the shinigami academy, Rukia was adopted into the Kuchiki family.[10] Hisana, having years earlier married into the family and subsequently died of an illness, gave her husband, Byakuya Kuchiki, the task of finding Rukia. Disgusted with herself for abandoning Rukia, Hisana wanted her sister to be part of the Kuchiki family while never knowing of their relation to each other. After succeeding in this task, Byakuya kept his word, treating Rukia as a sister and keeping his wife's secret until the end of the Soul Society arc, where he finally tells Rukia about Hisana's past.[9]

When she was accepted into the 13th Division, Rukia's abilities made her a prime candidate for a seated position. Wishing to keep Rukia out of harm's way, Byakuya used his influence as a captain to make her ineligible.[11] In time, Rukia befriended the lieutenant of the division, Kaien Shiba, and trained under him as her mentor.[12] During the course of a mission Kaien was possessed by a hollow, and Rukia was forced to kill Kaien to protect herself. With his last breath Kaien apologized to Rukia for allowing himself to be possessed and thus putting her in that position.[13] Rukia returned his body to his family, though could not find the courage to tell them how he had died until she learned about Hisana.[14]

Abilities

Rukia's only initial ability are her kidō spells, which she uses for such purposes as restraining, healing, or attacking others. At the start of the series her spells are severely limited, being both weak and of a small variety, due to the bulk of her powers being given to Ichigo.[15] After returning to Soul Society and regaining her shinigami abilities, Rukia is able to cast spells at her previous capacities, such that she can cast multiple spells in quick succession and even use two spells at the same time.[16] Rukia's kidō skills are of great caliber amongst shinigami, and by her own admission her mastery over kidō far surpasses her mastery with a blade.[17]

Rukia's zanpakutō, Sode no Shirayuki (袖の白雪 or 袖白雪, Sleeve's White Snow), is released with the command "dance" (舞え, mae).[18] In its released state the blade becomes completely white and a ribbon forms from the pommel, earning it the recognition as the most beautiful zanpakutō in Soul Society.[11] Sode no Shirayuki utilizes ice to attack, each of its three abilities being labeled as "dances" by Rukia. "First dance, white moon" (初の舞・月白, some no mai, tsukishiro) denotes a circular area around Rukia's target and freezes everything within the circle from the ground upwards until it reaches the sky.[19] "The next dance, white ripple" (次の舞・白漣, tsugi no mai, hakuren) fires a massive wave of ice from Sode no Shirayuki's blade.[20]"Third dance, white sword" (参の舞・白刀, san no mai, shirafune), her final ability reserved only for when her blade is broken, reforges her zanpakutō with ice particles, piercing through any object in its path and freezing anything in the vicinity.[17]

Plot overview

Rukia first meets Ichigo in the midst of a hollow attack. After she is injured by the hollow Rukia is forced to transfer her shinigami powers to Ichigo so that he can kill the hollow and save their lives.[21] While he succeeds, Rukia is left too weak to return to Soul Society, and lives with Ichigo in the human world until her powers are restored. As this leaves Rukia unaccounted for for many months, Byakuya and Renji are sent to find her and bring her back to Soul Society.[22] They succeed, and upon their return Rukia is sentenced to death for giving her shinigami powers to a human. Ichigo ultimately arrives in Soul Society in time to stop her execution, and tries to get her to safety.[23]

During Rukia's bid for freedom, she is stopped by Sōsuke Aizen and his accomplices. Aizen, having singlehandedly orchestrated Rukia's execution, reveals to her that within her soul is stored the Orb of Distortion, a device that will give the wielder great power. Wanting the Orb for himself, Aizen hoped that her death would give him access to the it, but settles for a nonfatal alternative.[24] The Orb is removed from her body, Aizen and his men flee Soul Society, and Rukia is acquitted of all charges.[25] With the Orb, Aizen is able to create an army of arrancar, which he uses to attack Ichigo and his friends once they return to the human world. Rukia and a group of other shinigami are sent to assist in fighting the arrancar,[26] though after Aizen captures Orihime Inoue they are recalled to Soul Society.[27]

Unwilling to give up Orihime to Aizen, Rukia goes to Hueco Mundo with Ichigo to rescue her.[28] While there, Rukia encounters the 9th Espada, Aaroniero Arruruerie, who soon reveals himself to contain the soul of Kaien Shiba. Saddened that she had not saved her mentor from the control of a hollow as she had previously thought, Rukia kills Aaroniero so that Kaien can finally be free.[3] Rukia is badly injured during the battle, and it is not until Soul Society sends reinforcements to Hueco Mundo that she is revived and her wounds are healed.

Appearances in other media

Rukia has made several appearances outside of the Bleach anime and manga. She appears in both of the featured films in the series: she fights the Dark Ones with the other shinigami in Bleach: Memories of Nobody and aids in the search for Tōshirō Hitsugaya in Bleach: The DiamondDust Rebellion.[29][30] She is also present in both of the original video animations produced in the series, helping Ichigo in Memories in the Rain and combating the rogue shinigami Baishin in The Sealed Sword Frenzy.[31][32] In Rock Musical Bleach, a musical based on the Bleach series, she is played by Miki Satō.[33] In the Bleach video games, Rukia is a playable character in practically every game, including the Heat the Soul and Blade Battlers series. In some games, her gigai form and shikai state are available as separate characters.[34][35]

Reception

Rukia has ranked highly in the Shonen Jump popularity polls for the series, placing in the top five most popular characters in all four polls. She was ranked as the second most popular character in the first two polls, and fell to third place in the third poll.[36] In the most recent poll, she was voted the second most popular character in Bleach, receiving 383 votes less than the front runner, Tōshirō Hitsugaya.[37] Merchandise based on Rukia's appearance has been released, including a key chain,[38] a plush doll,[39] and a figurine.[40]

Several publications for manga, anime, video games, and other related media have provided praise and criticism on Rukia's character. Active Anime, while noting that Rukia's appearance was "somewhat androgynous," celebrated her "intriguing" and "sarcastic" persona, making specific note of her "enjoyably evil sense of humor."[41] Anime News Network praised the differences between Rukia and stereotypical shōnen heroines, asserting that Rukia's loss of her powers and subsequent dependence on Ichigo were "a great source of both drama and comedy in the show." However, the removal of the humor from Rukia's scenes as a schoolgirl due to the English translation was lamented, although Rukia's voice actor, Michelle Ruff, was extolled for doing an "excellent job."[42] IGN called the scene where Rukia is forced to leave Ichigo Kurosaki and go to Soul Society as "touchingly beautiful" and celebrated Rukia's character development during her time in the real world.[43]
