What happened to Rukia?


It's been a long time since I watched Bleach, but what ever happened to Rukia?
Is it true that she vanished or something like that?




The last time she appeared was at **manga chapter 604 - REVITALIZE** (until
now).

As the manga is still ongoing (currently it is at **chapter 608** ), she will
keep on appearing at the following chapters.

You heard she vanished because of the **final episode of Fake Karakura Town
arc: episode 342 "Thank You"**. Where Ichigo loses his shinigami's power, so
he lost the ability to see her in shinigami form, so she "vanishes" from
Ichigo's sight.

From [this wiki](http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Rukia_Kuchiki), this is the
moment where she "vanish":

> As it becomes harder for Ichigo to see her, Rukia knows this is farewell.
> Mocking Ichigo's sad face, she states she will still be able to see him,
> much to his displeasure. Rukia, disappearing from Ichigo's sight completely,
> leaves through a Senkaimon as Ichigo, bidding farewell, thanks her.
