branchandrootAlready noted: Older/stronger family keeping secrets (Byakyua, Ryuuken, Isshin) and trying to keep younger out of it (Byakyua, Ryuuken). Brothers-love-twisted (Orihime's brother, Byakyua). Captain v childhood friend triangle (AHH and HRI). Hunger (shinigami, hollow). Uniforms w/ inverse colors.
New notes:
Resistance training: Ishida's glove and the supressing gigai (which may help explain Isshin).
Traveling to another world on rescue for captured babe: Rukia and Orihime. Anyone who thinks this is /not/ done specifically in order to establish the parallels and differences in the two characters and how they relate to everyone else, and Ichigo in particular, has not been paying any attention at all to KT's storytelling methods.
