>Renji has always been Rukia's love interest, and he was worried for her since the first page of his introduction.
This is how Renji is introduced. How is he concerned when he reads his task about capturing or outright killing Rukia without voicing anything on the latter? All he says is that this isn't a job for Shinigami, like it's beneath him. Not to mention how he slices her out of nowhere with zero provocations.

You do realize in what year Kubo said that, right? Are you seriously that naive?
