Chapter 241: Difference
Chapter 241: Difference
He promised Urahara he wouldn't interfere with the Soul SocietyNaturally he had his reasons
The Four Nobles Families special rules are only here to maintain a frontal prestigeHe titled his head in a condescending manner when he though about the rules of the Central 46
'This what happens when you only impose restriction on Noble Families, not duties'
The Central 46 is more of a counterforce than a ruling classThe real purpose of the Central 46 was not to rule over the Four Families but to restrain them.
After allThere was a big difference between a force whose only goal is to restrict the NoblesAnd a force whose goal is to get the Noble Families to actually do their duties.
The First Goal is to fight for power. The Second is to fight for a better world.
Even though he seemed to be laughing and playing.If one had a keen perception like Yoruichi and Urahara they would still understandBehind each word of the Emperor was a vehement show of disdain for their whole System.
The Central 46 was only here to restrict the Four FamiliesBut the Soul King itself never imposed any duties on The Four Powerful Nobles Families
The Reason why?
It's because the Soul King is weak and powerlessHe is only a tool necessary to maintain a Statue quo.
But was this status quo really worth preserving?
Was it really worth it to get in the way of Aizen and Ywach
In the endOf the StoryJust what kind of Soul Society did you all protect?
Do the People in the Rukongai live better lives?
Do the Souls that are not Shinigami untitled to human dignity?
Do Families in the Soul Society still need to be separated?
HahahWhat the point of afterlifeIf it's just a worse than lifeIsn't in it just a weirder hell?
What's the point of the Afterlife if one couldn't even remember his past life?
Just what is the point of saving people from transforming into Hollows just to send them here?
All this is bullshit
When he looked over the present systemWhen he saw how Byakuya KuchikiThe 'Exemplary Noble' act
He feels like he understood
Aizen was indeed rightThe Status quo doesn't benefit anybody at all
'The Fact that Thousands of years old beings don't see it baffles me'
Or maybe is it exactly because the beings are that oldThat their vision of Afterlife is so twistedThey live in their HQ leisurely while the rest of the people live like dogs
How beautiful!!
This society was older than all the Human countriesYet it still has societal injustice, power hungry dogsAnd Powerful People trampling on weaker ones
Just why does people say this place is better than Hueco Mundo?
At least in the Hueco Mundo, people are free to purse whatever they wanted
He looked deeply at Urahara with a mocking smile as if delivering the message:
'This is the statue quo you are working so hard to protect?'
Finally, as everyone realized the undertone of the Emperor's expressionsThey all fell silent.
He finally spoke, he seemed to have pronounced these words to the air:
"It's easy to replace the Soul King with a Stronger BeingI hope you already know that"
Urahara took a deep breathHe understood what the Emperor meant. Yoruichi sighed deeplyHer heart beating widly
As she looked at the disappointed gaze of the Emperor overlooking Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji AbaraiShe also felt a sense of shame
She spent 10 years with the man named Marek VegaShe already knew how the Emperor saw the civilians and the people of his nation.
Each one of them was a treasureEach one of them had endless valueEach of them was irreplacable.She had come to love this loving personality of his
She thought they both shared thatShe was after all, someone who cared deeply about her subordinates
Only know did she understand the differenceMarek Vega, wasn't an Emperor because he was strong
It's because he was an Emperor that he had to be strong His power wasn't her to uphold some clans's vanityit wasn't here to prove that his family is beyond others..
It wasn't even here to protect the people he cherish like Ichigo
He was strong because it was his dutyBecause this is his obligation and honor as the Emperor.
This is whyHis strength was never here to protect his statute, it wasn't here to look down on others like Byakuya was doing
Of course that doesn't mean that Marek was a saintNo when It comes to oppression, massacre and evilHe may be worse than all the people of the Soul Society combined
But that does all have a goalNo Massacre is done without purposeEverything is calculated.
He spoke calmly to both of them:
"I can only show you the wayThe rest depend on your own will"
His words were clearAs they rang on their earsThe Meaning was also clear
'I will show you my version of the Soul SocietyIt will up to you to judge.'
Urahara already deeply understood how messed the order of the Soul Society.NeverthlessHe thoughtthat there was still hope for things to change for the better.
After allPeople like him, the Vizords, Yoruichi and Ukitake and Kyoraku still existedBut for a momemt, for the first timeHe felt doubt
BecauseIn reality.Even themWeren't much better, they were only the better solution.
He already that Aizen, Gin were evil. What he just realized.is that the rest of them might only be the lesser evil.
This is what the words of the Emperor were trying to communicate.
