Childhood Friends: Difference between revisions

* Quite a few among the Shinigami in ''[[Bleach]]'', including Rukia and Renji, Hitsugaya and Momo and Gin and Rangiku. While fans occasionally have shipping lines along these angles, there's nothing confirmed or beyond the level of an occasional hint. During the soul society arc, these interactions led to a level of conflict among lieutenants and captains that was throwing the entire area into turmoil. {{spoiler|And Gin was motivated by Rangiku all along.}}

** [[Subverted Trope|SUBVERTED]] with Ichigo and Tatsuki. Despite being childhood friends, the above traits do not apply to their bond. However, they're shown to still care about one another despite their new distance; it shows in moments such as Tatsuki being offended and hurt when Ichigo refused to trust her with important information (for her protection), punching him through a wall and asking "aren't we [[True Companions|nakama]]?!". They simply grew apart as they got older, but definitely maintain some closeness (though not to the point that a [[Childhood Friend Romance]] seems likely). It helps that they have a mutual friend in Orihime.

 

 

* One of Larry's regrets in ''[[The Stand]]'' was how he ruined a childhood friendship by quibbling over a small amount of money when he knew perfectly well he was wrong. It's one of the memories he holds to convince himself that he 'aint no nice guy.' We never see his friend in the present (he probably died in the [[The Plague|superflu pandemic]]), but it clearly bothers Larry at how pointlessly selfish he was and how he lost a really good friend over it.

* [[The Hero|Derek]] and [[Ice Queen|Laura]] of the web-novel ''[[Domina]]''. She moved away years ago for reasons he doesn't understand—all she'll say is that its his fault.
