User blog:Shobmar/Bleach 364 survival of the fittest.

i just finished watching episode 364. i took the next few lines from the fight scene between Rukia and Riruka and wanted to know what people though of what Riruka said about survival of the fittest.

Rukia: “is not being normal that important to you?”

Riruka: “Of course, we were able to meet Tsukishima because we weren’t normal. Ginjo saved us because we weren’t normal. When asked what rule every animal and human in the world has to obey, most people would say “survival of the fittest.” There are clear differences between the strong and the weak. But it is not as simple as kill or be killed. You know what true survival of the fittest is, don’t you? So let me tell you a story… about how our survival of the fittest works. I found out I had an ability that no one else had when I was five years old. When I was six years old, I was invincible. When I was seven years old there was someone I liked. He was a young man who moved into our neighborhood. He used course language, but he had a kind voice. If he saw someone in trouble he would run over and help them out. I hid him away without a second thought. Every day, I would bring him sweets and we’d eat together. I was so excited because I though he was going to become mine. But that never happened. Ever since I hid him in my treasure box, he’d become more and more afraid of me. I couldn’t bear to see the way he looked at me any longer, so I let him go. I didn’t event stop to think what would happen if he told anyone about my power. The term “survival of the fittest” is just an illusion; the weak believe that they can become the predators if they work hard. But they didn’t get eaten because they are weak. They get eaten because they are the minority. It’s always the incompetent and loud majorities who become the predators. You and everyone else know this, but you choose to ignore it. Separated, we were the prey. When Ginjo appeared before us, he said “are you going to die quietly just because there are only a few of you? That’s absurd! Look at history. Whether it is royalty or warriors, it was the minority that controlled things! You haven’t done anything wrong. The word is just too lenient towards idiots. Lets change all that. It’s our turn to eat them.”

Rukia: I will be honest I can understand where you’re coming from. However… that will not be my excuse for abandoning my friends.

Riruka: friends? Why don’t you just say that it is the majority that matters to you.

Rukia: don’t make a fuss. If I use Tsukishiro one more time your entire body will be frozen.

Riruka: That’s what I mean when I say your full of yourself
