I don't know Bleach, but I'll tell you who Touma absolutely reminded me of this episode: Kento! Touma can't lie down and be injured if there's convictions to be screamed about, so here he is using his Sacred Sword as a crutch (!) to go tell people what he believes in. It's the sort of martyrdom-adjacent superheroing that reminded me that, yep, Kento and Touma were best friends; and, yep, Touma's probably dealing with Kento's death in a weird way.

Daishinji is absolutely the type of man who would wax poetically about a goddamn sword, so much so that I really should think of including something like that in my story. So thank you for the inspiration!

You're welcome! Thank you for indulging me and my Slash fic!
