I love how soft Urahara is with Ururu when she admits that she gave a customer defective merchandise (actually Kon) by mistake. It's in such stark contrast to both his ditzy shopkeeper and schemer modes. This dude really loves his kid and I respect that.

Stupid Innocuous Best Fave

Saaaaaame. ToT She may have been created as a doomsday device (and seems to have accepted this role without prompting when the situation seems to call--she's ready to go KO Ichigo when they think he's about to go full Hollow), but she's just as much a little girl and is loved as one.

I guess what's a little sad/ironic about that is that she really does get terrorized by Jinta, and it's pretty clear that she reason she's so scared to apologize for/draw attention to her error is because she's expecting punishment--specifically, physical punishment. She flinches away from his hand:

So the poor girl has still sustained some childhood trauma--not because she lives in a weirdo shop that engages in moral travesties below ground (and probably also above) but because her brother hits her. :( Which is sad, but also a reminder that even in the presence of the supernatural, the trials and tribulations of being a normal person can still come home to roost just as monumentally.

I'm not sure that Urahara quite registers this (Jinta immediately starts pulling her hair and berating her for not reading the box properly, and Urahara is like, ha ha please don't fight? please?), though I imagine it'd be difficult for him to consistently find that register.

This, though, he can do:

And he asks her why she's so scared, and says, aren't we nakama? It's okay, Ururu. You are loved. Shouten nakama. <3
