Ichigo/Rukia is one of my OTPs in this series because i do feel like they compliment each other very well. She knows how to get him to snap out of a funk and he knows how to push her buttons.
During that part of the manga, I understand why Rukia was weaker than she should have been. My number one love in the series, Urahara, is responsible for that. In the second part, she has this really great scene where Ichigo's all like, "I'll protect you!" And she's like, "Bitch, step aside. It's MY turn to show YOU what I can do." And then she gets to own the Arrancar with her very pretty zanpaku-to.
She gets more fight scenes later too, but then... she needs rescuing. Again. *sighs* All my excitement over bad ass Rukia vanished then. Thank God Yoruichi is still around, though you don't see much of her in the Hueco Mundo scenes. But if I ever switched teams, it'd be because of her.
