ok first question who do you think ichigo should be with rukia or orihime?

second question does he care for either of them romantically if you think he does do tell me when hes shown any indication of this?

now I dont know who he should end up with but the only thing I know for sure as im sure we all know is that orihime is completely and totally inlove with ichigo, now rukia I dont really know I mean I can definitely see theres something there but then again they act like brother and sister or the same way she acts with renji. so what do you think

Ichigo should definitely be with Rukia. I like Orihime paired with someone else.

I don't think Ichigo has shown any directly romantic interest in Rukia or Orihime. He's gone through a lot to help both of them. I always felt that he seemed closer to Rukia, but that might just be a result of Orihime's nature.

I'd say there is a slight romantic subtext between Ichigo and Rukia; Rukia's always able to motivate Ichigo, Ichigo put everything on the line for Rukia (and unlike with Orihime, back in the Soul Society arc, there wasn't some enemy he really wanted to beat as well; he was solely there to save Rukia). I always felt that Ichigo X Orihime felt almost entirely one -sided and unbalanced, whereas Ichigo X Rukia was more a mutual bond, that just doesn't really reach the levels of romance just yet.

But yeah, Ichigo won't be ending up with anyone in the end. Bleach isn't that kind of manga.

Stick to the topic.

For a straight(?), sixteen-year-old boy, Ichigo does seem awfully uninterested in the two main-character hotties. In the whole series so far, his eyes have never once drifted towards Orihime's chest.

My theory - he likes older women. He's gotten all hot and bothered about Rangiku and Yoruichi both.

If Ichigo doesnt end up with Inoue in the end, this entire series will have been pointless.

Ichigo shows care whenever a girl is in trouble, or so it seems. First, he did anything to protect Rukia while she still didn't have her powers (even now he does), second, he now is fighting for Inoue (which is pointless in my view). Inoue seems to be his interest for now but it doesn't point that it's romantic. Inoue is the one who likes him. Who knows who Ichigo might end up with? I hope it's Rukia but if it isn't, I don't mind it's another girl, as long as if it's not Orihime.

Yes, for the moment.

Considering Ichigo didn't decide to attack Aizen or aid Soul Society prior to Orihime being taken captive... This has to be the case. I mean, protecting the world wasn't a good enough reason... But "rescuing" some girl is?

What a joke. It's because the mangaka knows that romantic speculation sells, and garners a lot more fans than they'd otherwise get. Even if they approach it half-heartedly, and never actually address it before the manga ends. So don't get your hopes up. Naruto did the same thing. Every mainstream kiddie battle-manga does it.

oh I know that im honestly expecting the manga to end with ichigo by himself and everyone being great friends but who id like to see him with is rukia but I still dont think itll happen, ichigo does lean towards rukia but it doesnt seem romantic at all.

Perhaps Bleach will turn into a harem anime/manga after the fighting is over

ichigo's gonna end up with ishida... haha... jst kiddin.. lol...

bleach is a is obviously an harem anime. Ichigo has a woman in every dimension he's ever been in.

Winner.

Anyway Ichigo has the sexual drive of a 9yrs old boy. Cmon, being naked in the bath with Yoruichi and doing nothing? Its almost ghey.
