Will comment more later when I have time, but...as a Byakuya/Rukia and Ichigo/Rukia fan and most of all a Rukia fan, I'm highly annoyed by the replacement theories.

And had the NANA bashers really calmed down? I'm so glad, Cause I know in some Chinese forum some basher are still going "she dare tell Takumi it's rape when she forced him to it?" and even "OMFG she's really after Ren!" But those people practically live to bash Reira.
