I'd also like to hear your thoughts about why Rangiku carries that ring as a necklace and who you suspect gave it to her? (Maybe Kubo already revealed that though)

I'm sure I've read the part on Gin having ASPD in another post, anyway it seems a sound theory, but I also believe Gin might have encouraged those traits, steeling himself to go through with his plan to stop Aizen at any cost; repeatedly reminding himself that he was a snake, devouring his enemies without remorse.

I'm looking forward to the next character analysis; maybe unraveling the relationship between Kiske and Yoruichi? ;)

Well I'm so glad you enjoyed our little piece. We will look into other relationships in the future. As for the ring necklace, since Rangiku stated Gin didn't leave her anything to hold on to, I highly doubt he gave it to her. As for who gave it to her, in my opinion the most likely candidates right now are Isshin (he was a Pervy guy back in the day and maybe they were a promotion gift or 10th divion welcome gift) or Rangiku liked it and bought it.
