Why rot in the closet? She's usually hyper -_-" And yes, Rukia does give off the sister vibe.
Not a pity pair? You think they make a good couple but you don't think so?
Contradict yourself much? >.<
(btw, I am no way, getting heated up here >.>)

Unless orihime is being kidnapped to another world or nearly killed ichigo doesn't really pay much attention to her, she's just a friend.
When he's with rukia he treats her as more than just a friend or sister, even when fighting they seem like an old couple.
As for orihime x chad i ment that they make a good couple but i dont think that they will end up together in the manga.

Theres this thing with shy boys...they're hopeless when it comes to the girl they have feelings for and might even ignore them on purpose but when it comes to other female friends, they can act like siblings or as you say "old couple".
I can actually back this up >.>

Well put. He may just consider her a friend now, but once Orihime expresses her feelings for him (him being awake), their relationship will change drastically.

So dana! ^_^

How does Orihime understand Ichigo's soul better than Rukia. Also, do you think that if Rukia died Ichigo would run to Orihime? *Let me point out Kubo hasn't killed off any main characters. Also, wouldn't that be incredibly stupid seeing as Rukia is the third most popular character and Orihime no where near reaches Rukia's popularity.


I've never watched Flame of Recca so I don't know who Recca ends up with but I'm assuming it's Yanagi, if it is it seems that they had a relationship from the get go. Ichigo and Inoue did not. I'd say it would be a (bad) shoujo romance because they wouldn't have a relationship based on anything. Even though Orihime and Ichigo are 'nakama' they barely interact. Thier relationship seems to based that she went to save Rukia and they became friends by default because they definitely didn't hang out there. When they came back she tried to be the person he leaned on, the person he came to, how'd that work out?


Okay it's true there is a possibility. There is also a possibility of ChadxIchigo but the chances are so miniscule that I lump it in with no chance in Hell. :/


No, it says that as long as the chain of fate is connected to the body you're not dead, when you cut it you die. So Ichigo body is effectively a gigia. :/ Of course he can move without his body now, he's a shinigami. Er I mean a vizard. I don't get why you don't understand this. You yourself say "getting rid of that connection of the body and soul..." If he does this it makes him his body a shell, if his body is a shell he's what?




The fact that Ichigo and Orihime have they have the same hair is an indication of pairings, are you serious? (At least I never have to worry about Renji/Rukia. And snap Ukitake/Gin/Hitsugaya! Heck yes) You are aware, Orihime's hair is actually brown or at least according to the manga.



I don't use the anime as an authority, because the animators add in stuff that won't happen in the manga. (I'm looking at you Senna!) So while arrow pants bount and ishida while they had alot of chemistry I could never write them off as an official pairing.
Also, the pairing of Ishida/Orihime is not completly fan made. (Or you could argue that but all other ships are so *meh*) Ishida is very insightful on Orihime's part sorta like Orihime is with Ichigo. I don't think... okay I know Orihime does not see Ishida in a romantic light. If you see chances for Ichigo and Orihime I don't know how you can't see it for Inoue and Ishida.

I mean besides the whole time in SS he was trying to protect Orihime there is always this
Ishida: It’s better if we stay away Inoue-san. Even if we stay here, we…
Orihime: Thank you, Ishida-kun, but sorry… I want to stay here.
Ishida (thinking): She understands. Even though she wants to help Kurosaki, she’ll only hinder him and even if there’s something she can do to help Kurosaki will not want that. She understands all of this, but she’s holding her body steady despite this deathly atmosphere and waits. Just praying for your safety. Just believing in your victory. Don’t lose, Kurosaki. Because if you lose… I will never forgive you.
(Chapter 164)
For whose sake was he thinking that?




How does Orihime understand Ichigo's soul better than Rukia. Also, do you think that if Rukia died Ichigo would run to Orihime? Add on the fact Rukia is way to popular to be dying (3rd spot, Inoue=10) and Kubo hasn't killed off anyone major yet.

You just killed me with Ukitake/Gin/Hitsugaya O.o Oh my poor, poor heart. My poor, poor innocent mind...


As to Ichigo calling Inoue "Inoue" - they are closer. They have become closer friends. They fought together. They rescued their friend together. A relationship as the one that Ichigo has with Inoue, Ishida and Chad is a very close friendship and I don't see why he shouldn't call her Inoue. After all, he went to rescue her, right? It doesn't necessarily indicate that he's madly in love with her and wants her to bear his children.
At lest I hope not IchigoXInoue.. please, no. I'm not a big fan of pairings in Bleach. I hope it stays the way it is - few embarrassed smiles, few hints and that's all. It makes Bleach more likeable. Even if the plot collapses >.<

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, and I'm too lazy to read the whole thread.

But isn't Orihime her first name, and Inoue her last?

So, if Ichigo developed feelings for her, wouldn't he just call her Orihime?

And how he did he call her then, at the beginning of the series?

In the beginning, Ichigo was calling her Orihime.
It was all in the previous posts.

Edit: my wrong, I'm tired

Still the bad cop.

Inoue is her last name, Orihime is her first name. The link above me proves it; it is written last name first like all Japanese names. He always called her Inoue.

Besides, Why would Ishida come along to the Mundo at all? Specifically since that means shattering the promise he made to his father, something his Quincy Pride would never allow.

Let's see why everyone went.
Ichigo- Treats himself like everyone guardian and blames himself for being unable to protect her.
Sado- Follows Ichigo Into combat regardless of situation
Rukia- Went to help Ichigo since that pairing is really quite strongly hinted.
Renji- Went to help Rukia due to his own feelings about her, and Ichigo who has developed a feeling of brotherhood toward.
Ishida- To save the girl, thats his only motivation.....In The SS he felt humiliated by the 6th division and had a score to settle, as well he knew Orohime was going, and he did fight Kurotsuchi with an awful lot of anger even before he learned about his grandfather.

He's fighting too hard to have no real motivation....

Ichigo has called her Inoue for a long time, they're long time friends and he refers to a lot of people by their first names, inclusing 11th division Captian Toshiro Hitsugaya something he really shouldn't do, In fact the only peopel he doesnt refer to by first name are Zaraki Kempatchi and Souskue Aizen, though he really refers to him as "Aizen..." with that tone of disgust in his voice.


The Ishida/Inoue Pairing has long since existed almost as soon as ishida was introduced Kubo was dropping hints, in the SS arc it got heaveir and in this latest arc its just become blatant to anyone who can get past Ichigos Complexes until they realize hes simply terrified to lose anyone close to him.
He has been ever since his mother died. He refused to let Rukia or Sado fight, tried to talk Sado out of going, and takes the world onto his shoulders at every opportunity because that way, if they die, its his fault and he can deal with it.

im neither into rukia x ichigo nor inoue x ichigo pairing...
but yeah, personally thinking, at SS arc, rukia x ichigo pairing seems like showing possiblities..
but then,there's this arankuru arc that
maybe im just giving random guessing, but it seems that kubo wants to make inoue x ichigo pairing happened as the rukia x ichigo pairing bcause of this recent arc.... i think kubo wants people to go guessing around or he wants inoue to be paired with ichigo (i mean, something like giving a chance to inoue too)...

well, i dislike inoue, but seeing her crying & loves ichigo that much, make me pity on her... at least give her a chance...

uhmm..i support rukia x renji pairing (only this pairing) and ishida should be ended up alone...(bcause i like ishida's character..& not to pair with inoue..) inoue is just a classmate to him...& nakama... they are all nakama, actually... well, no to ishida x inoue pairing...NO!

Who said relationships are perfect? and if pairings like that can exist in real life, why not in anime?


You know, there is a theory that when you sleep, your soul travels (leaves your body), thus you have dreams where you go places where you've never been before etc. There hasn't been any scientific evidence to where as to souls exist or not, so this is mainly metaphysics.
What am trying to say is, according to this theory, when you sleep, your soul leaves you yet you are still alive. You would call this state death I presume, but we all call it "sleep" do we not? or coma if you will.
So there you go. It's not that I don't get it, really, I do, but Ichigo is a special case and I don't think grouping him with the norm might be the right thing it do


Yeah, laugh at me -_- So I can't be creative and you can? -_- There is no justice in this world....>.<


Yes, he was thinking about Orihime.
I think you've mistaken me for a total Ichigo/Inoue fan
I was mainly talking about how you people go "there's no chance...blah blah blah more fangirl rant" I'm not denying any pairings. Heck I'm a harem supporter, so I'm definitely not denying any pairings (except the yaoi pairings...you sick people =_= ) If I sounded like I was to you then I must've been more clear with my words.
Just...don't...tase me >_>

Have to disagree on a couple points here. As far as Ishida's only motivation being Inoue, I don't think so. This is a Shonen, and as is common in Shonen the main character has a rival which most most cases is a friendly, if occasionally violent, relationship. Ishida is going because A) he doesn't want someone else beating Ichigo, B) As long as he survives the trip Ichigo will probably come out much stronger thus Ishida went too, and C) this is a round about way to defy his father without breaking his promise, if you'll recall Rukia and Renji didn't start out with the group and Ichigo isn't a "real" shinigami, thus it leaves his honor intact while still showing some defiance. Now I don't deny the is a link between Inoue and Ishida, I think it is one sided and will remain so.

As far as Rukia going because Ichigo went, sure, but that's not the only reason. if you'll remember where Inoue was coming back from when she was captured, the Soul Society. Where she had been training with no other then Rukia. You think Rukia does feel any sense of guilt for being the cause of her friend's abduction, if even in a round about way?

For both of these characters there is more than simple love interests as movivating factors for them to go on the rescue mission.

Yes, I agree.. This is a Shounen.. Don't expect any couples.. Tite might give hints, but that's all he's going to give.. Since 'Shounen couples' are meant to be speculated about..
