Still, it happened, and Rukia blaming herself didn't change anything, it only stopped her from moving on. Kukaku Shiba said as much during their conversation, which is something I advise you to review for more context. I know kukaku know what really happened, and knew Rukia held more than her fair share of guilt over it, thus she would immediately forgive rukia if she one day found the courage to apologize in person, which in my opinion kukaku already sort did by doing so, right?
