They were. They really tried to push a relationship that Kubo made fun of at the beginning.

Did you know Ichigo is 15 and Rukia is 150 years old? Kubo did a joke about this EXTREMELY early on to make fun of "they are TOTALLY IN A RELATIONSHIP YOU GUIES!!!" mentality

Did this really happen? doesn't this make the heroine look really bad?

Yoruichi was best girl too bad she was never in the running

This is like when the Harry Potter movies would give Ron's sentences in the books to Hermione

Rukia never lost. She and Ichigo never saw each other that way to begin with. Their relationship was always platonic with Rukia being the bossy big sister role for Ichigo. Rukia also knew that Orihime had feelings for Ichigo and was helping encourage her to get together with Ichigo. Rukia is great, but she's more like a sister to Ichigo with Orihime being the real love interest.

I like Rukia and find Orihime really boring but I can't believe there were people who deluded themselves into thinking IchiRuki was going to be real.

Why not? I thought that will be the case.

Because the second they introduced Renji and showed him and Rukia to be osananajimis everyone with half a functioning brain gave up.

There are a plenty of girls better than her and she is not even hot.

>different species with vastly different ages and lifespans

That was also true of Ichigo's parents and it didn't matter.

RENT FREE

They are the same species after the Hat cut off his chain. Ichigo is possessing his own body(which is a bit creepy if you think about it).
And her interactions with Ichigo and Renji looked pretty much the same.
I know. But I was beyond assblasted back then.

How many of IRfags are salty landwhales that feel like they "lost" to the hot girl.

>"lost" to the hot girl.
????
Rukia lost though.

>That was also true of Ichigo's parents and it didn't matter.
But we didn't know that for most of the manga while Orihime was being set up as the heroine.

>They are the same species after the Hat cut off his chain. Ichigo is possessing his own body(which is a bit creepy if you think about it).
And her interactions with Ichigo and Renji looked pretty much the same.
Ichigo is aging at normal human rates even in his Shinigami form so I think he's gonna have a normal human lifespan. Rukia marrying Renji did surprise me though, even if Renji seemed to have a crush on her.

Isshin had become a full human before he started dating Masaki. And before you say anything he didn't become human for love, he did it for muh honor

That's what I mean. Landwhales project onto Rukia

>Ichigo is aging at normal human rates even in his Shinigami form so I think he's gonna have a normal human lifespan
That's a plot hole on Kubo's part then because he explicitly stated that severed chain is what separates the dead from the living.
It's Kubo, though, so it's par for the course.

>Where did we go wrong
The fact you were retarded to see any romance between those characters to begin with. It was literally zero sided.

Ichigo has mommy issue. Orihime is like his mom. People wonder why he is not with the spirit girl who doesn't live in the same dimension and to wich he remind her of a dead crush.

Herocucks. Just look at those threads. Pure degeneracy and fujo-ism.

Fujoshits getting butthurt don't count because no one ever takes their stupid shipping seriously. BnHA has like one serious ship involving the MC.

They will definitely have a shipper meltdown but not the 'next' shipper meltdown. Heroaca could easily last 500 chapters. SNK is reaching its climax

Almost no one on Yea Forums liked Orihime until she won.

Well, he married the replacement goldfish for his mom so her marrying the replacement goldfish for her crush is not out of the question.
Then why does he age? His dad clearly isn't. If you say that it's the real body vs gigai then his spirit body still looks the same and the age difference with Rukia is non-issue.
He can always ask Urahara to make a gigai when his original body breaks.

So you agree with me?

Why would you? When even Hanatarou noticed Rukia only light up when talking about Ichigo? When Renji who obviously had a thing for Rukia did nothing but imitate Ichigo and literally only moved his ass to save her because Ichigo inspired him to? And what about that cover where Kubo literally drew Renji looking at Rukia while Rukia only had eyes for Ichigo?

Don't be stupid. Kubo teased IchiRuki to hell and back and Orihimefags WISH they had even 10% of all the stuff Kubo made and wrote for IR. The sad truth of the matter is that he only did it because he knew IR would sell. So at the end of the day, we all wasted our time. And all IH got for it was an empty canon where Ichigo never, not once, showed an ounce of the desperation and stuff he could pull for Rukia for Orihime. But IH will deny it because they spent the entire manga trying to convince themselves they were happy with crumbs, and since they got what they wanted in the end, now they're completely deluded. They remind me of the SS fanbase in Naruto, except that at least IH isn't abusive and toxic. Just empty.

>bleach is the only series where the tomboy was the best girl
Tomboys are almost always best girls though

This reads like a Tumblr post

The irony coming from this post

Shinigami can age and die from old age(hello, Barragan). The exact mechanics were never specified.
They also can live for thousands of years.
It applies to Rukia, Isshin and Ichigo after he pulled off the Zangetsu.
Him possessing his original body is just a funny twist of fate.

God I love shipper butthurt. Even years later we still get gems like this.

What I'm telling you is that Isshin's shinigami form aged at the same rate as his gigai while he was inside of it

It's your fault for investing yourself that much into a romance from a battle shonen. The hero ended up with the housewife, that's it.

I want to see more of him too, even if he wouldn't end up with Orihime. The Bat was cool as fuck.
Also, his first fight with Ichigo was brilliantly animated for some reason.

The Visored did however grow their hair out. Which isn't that different from Isshin growing his beard. Is growing a beard the only change in Isshin? Because that doesn't necessarily mean he's growing older at a human rate.

How come every single shipperfag comes up with the same "arguments" whenever their waifu loses the MCbowl. All you are missing is bringing up some interview where the author said something that COULD be interpreted as him thinking your waifu was MC's one true love.
I can think of like 5 different series where people said literally the same shit once their waifu lost and I can also think of at least a couple more that are saying the same shit now even though their waifu hasn't lost yet.

C'mon now son.

The "war" was just falseflaggers who didn't like how IchiRuki shippers acted vs IchiRuki shippers. No fucks were given about Orihime. That's still the case now. Nobody talks about her outside of "LOL, YOU ICHIRUKIFAGS LOST! HOW'S THAT TASTE!"

On Yea Forums at least for the vast majority of the manga there pretty much was no shipping war, simply because there were so many rukiafags and ichirukifags. They definitely exist though, just not in as large of numbers.

The instant Ichigo picked Orihime of all people to fight alongside Ichigo in the final battle, I knew she was going to win, taking a healer with almost zero combat capabilities in a fight against a god like being that wiped out the squad zero is a brain dead decision, but kubo did it because he wanted to give some focus to ichigoxorihime, even trough we were literally a few chapters from the end.
And instead of using the Almight to bypass Orihime shield and cut her head right off, Yhwach mostly ignores her, because if he actually fought for real instead of just playing around, a single attack would make Orihime explode worse than Ichebei did.

It was an attractive ship, also full of controversy thanks to moralfags.

Orihime making Uquiorra develop a heart was one of the best writings Kubo did. Ichigo had a big role in that process too, but Ulquiorra/Orihime had more impact because of the shoujo elements and high aesthetics. Ulquiorra being Byakuya-level in hotness, and Orihime his beautiful captive princess made of it an attractive pair.
I knew the couple wasn't going to happen, but I enjoyed every aspect of it. It was one of the things I liked the most from HM and derived arcs.

Guys, seriously: Tite already fucking explained back in 2009 that Rukia and Ichigo were kindred spirits and had little to no romantic inclinations towards one another.

Holy headcanon cringe.

Ichigo was a downright asexual faggot. It's not even believable that he banged Orihime.

Cringe

He's literally making fun of Mizuiro's old hag fetish.
Why do Orihimefags have such poor reading comprehension?

Viz is shit, but the translation still gets the idea across. Those men believe Orihime has a boyfriend, and Ichigo just happens to share the frame with her while those men watch them walk off together after Ichigo brought her a drink. It's not very hard to figure out what Kubo was trying to get across here. Why do you think the anime cut it out? Hell, they even altered their entire first meeting into Ichigo bumping into her, and not giving a shit.

Pot, kettle

His last tweet was May 15th. I wish he posted about Sakura Taisen at least

Ichigo literally tells Rukia to watch her even after Mizuiro declares he's into older women. Kubo was obviously reminding readers that Rukia has lived for over 40+ years.

>Didn't even kill Grande Fisher to avenge his mother like he said early on

UGH!!! she was clearly the only option. I also hate the fact that kubo showed that her and Ichigo's sister had potential power but never expanded on it.

How does Renji's retarded gorilla dong even fit inside Rukia's tiny pussy

Every Ichirukia fag is just dumb. Rukia never showed romantic feelings for Ichigo hell Orihime even kissed Ichigo. The reason people wanted Rukia to "win" something that was never on dispute is only to better self insert. The girls who actually lost were Riruka and Nel

>And all IH got for it was an empty canon where Ichigo never, not once, showed an ounce of the desperation and stuff he could pull for Rukia for Orihime.
True enough.
Ichigo and Rukia's relationship was well constructed. Rukia saving his family and Ichigo repaying her was well thought out and more engaging.
When Ichigo went to Hueco Mundo to save Hime it just felt forced and soulless.

I don't think IR was necessarily meant to be a thing(and I never saw it that way) though I agree that Kubo did bait shippers(whether knowingly or unknowingly).

I suppose some people got enamored with the idea of IR since Rukia was much more of a main character in the way that she's much better written and constructed while Orihime was always a minor forgettable side character.

How come he never developed IH then?
I'm no shipper but give me a break, Ichigo's and Rukia's relationship was much better written than anything with Ichigo and Orihime.
Not saying that Ichigo and Rukia were romantic but they felt like they had a believable friendship with each-other at least while Ichigo and Orihime feel like distant acquaintances at best...it was like Orihime was this girl in Ichigo's class and not much else.

Her not being human is a plus.

That's why in the final arc Urahara dresses Orihime like a whore and Yoruichi almost shoves her in Ichigo's face.

Seething

>No arguments.

I don't get this attitude at all. Just because a character is best girl or you personally would choose them doesn't mean that the main character necessarily should. I see it as projecting.

>while Ichigo and Orihime feel like distant acquaintances at best...it was like Orihime was this girl in Ichigo's class and not much else.
I legitimately don't understand how anyone can say this when Ichigo was ready to tackle HM all by himself just to save her, and bring her back. He quite literally rose from the dead because of her screams for help.

The IR relationship was overdramatic

>buzzwords are arguments

Not an argument. Kubo also had Rukia floating face down with her ass in the air

There are literally LITERALLY people still arguing over Rei/Asuka. Shipping wars never end.

Because Kubo ruined his manga with such a shitty pairing.

>You're solely talking Yea Forums, idiot.
I think he never claimed otherwise.

Rukia was the one to bring Ichigo to Orihime during the beginning of the HM arc which was followed by the vow. Rangiku was the one to comfort Orihime, and tell her Ichigo needs both her and Rukia. Uryu was the one with that "she's waiting for you" monologue during the SS arc. Karin was the one to say she wouldn't be impressed by any girl he brought home unless she was Orihime level. Shinji hugged Orihime to get a rise out of him. During the second Ichigo/Grimmjow fight, when his taunting was going nowhere, Grimmjow mentions "Orihime being fucked up inside" and that's what sets Ichigo off with Grimmjow going "that's the expression I was waiting for" or something like akin to that. Nnoitra taunts him with Orihime as well. Facebook calling Orihime during the FB arc is what makes Ichigo finally snap despite being surrounded by his brainwashed friends and younger sisters. Nel was the one to kick Ichigo and scold him during that one scene where he's carrying Orihime. Ginjo was the one to bring Orihime to the training room during the FB and states that bringing her there was the correct decision. Urahara was the one that created Orihime's outfit in the final arc in order to see how things would play out. Chad was the one to bring up the outfit to Ichigo. Yoruichi was the one to scold Ichigo for not making a move. That scene was just apart of IH being pushed by other characters.

I hope you're being ironic. Otherwise you're a gigantic newfag.
Everybody made fun of The Heart back then.

You know back when I marathoned the canon episodes (skipped filler arcs) I remembered having fun with Bleach. They really should have ended it after Aizen's defeat. And while I don't really have any stock in the usual shipping autism, I can kind of get the upset here. Ichigo arguably did have more chemistry with Rukia

And yet the fanbase didn't feel any of it because Orihime was just that awful of a character. You can tell you have a problem if the love interest your a writing doesn't take off no matter how much you shill within the story.

They were never going to be lovers. It wasn't going to happen.

If Kubo could sellout to the fandom and gives constant Icefaggot and Killpachi fights no matter how played out they became, he could have sold out one final, meaningful time and given us IchiRuki, but nooooo.

This is why Bleach is dead. And Kubo fucking knew IchiRuki had a following and used it for extra cash on the hopes of the fans.

Rukia can't have lost when she and Ichigo were never romantic. They were strictly nakama and the story very clearly showed it. It is 100% your fault if you chose to see something that wasn't there. You don't even have the benefit of NaruSaku fags who at the very least had some teases toward it here and there.

>the significance of Isshin killing Grand Fisher
There's none. Absolutely none.
Isshin wasn't there at the scene when Masaki died.

That was supposed to be Ichigo's revenge and his way of making amends with his mother. He swore that he would do it in Memories of the Rain arc and then he didn't.
Ichigo is a pathetic worthless MC.

There are litarally dozens of bleach thread everyday and this is the only one about pairings
Seeth

>And yet the fanbase didn't feel any of it
Probably because if you ever brought up you liked Orihime at all, you got shat on by IR enthusiass

I wish I could find it but the shitstorm with that began with "I've got a bomb" and a leaked picture of Hinata and Himawari and everybody lost it because they saw the whiskers

>And that's where you're wrong since IHfags were a thing.
Yeah, like 4 or 5 of them.

>Just not on Yea Forums. Even nips started calling Orihime the heroine from HM and so forth.
Orihime did not exhibit a single trait of a heroine. I doubt the Nips said this.

>There's a reason nip IR artists stopped even before the endgames were revealed.
I barely see IH either.

Orihime didn't resonate with the fanbase. Kubo constantly shilled her and the only response he got was to kill her off. He knew everyone hated her if his old Twitter was anything to go by.

>There's none
Like I said, brainlet

Hinata always have hidden her power level since part one,how many of us thought she was a loli until the exams? I think she use some kind of jutsu to do that. Maybe a lot of guys are looking at her,therefore wears really baggy clothes.

Well it's not like anybody cared about the dumbass plot of this manga after a while

Everyone shit on Orihime, not just IR shippers. Orihime was always the joke of the fandom. She still pretty much is today because everyone still dismisses her outside of these threads on Yea Forums.

Definitely SnK

How the fuck did you IRfags fall for the transparent baiting when Kubo never had them fall for one another in the actual manga? You fags love bringing up that "I cannot draw Ichigo without Rukia" drawing/line, but he drew Ichigo without Rukia for majority of the manga. It's like you idiots saw what you wanted to see, and ignored everything else. His bait was as flimsy as the Narusaku bait Kishimoto threw.

Man you have no idea how wrong you are.
Casual Western Orihimefags still think "Kurosaki-kun" was an invention of Studio Pierrot when it was that way in the original japanese manga and Viz rewrote so much of her dialogue.

Either way a few guys in the manga saying "woah are they going out" means jackshit. Even if Kubo wanted Ichihime or whatever he still did a terrible job at developing said relationship to the point where Ichigo's and Rukia's friendship in the first 2 arcs comes across as more romantic.

Kubo knew IchiRuki paid the bills so he baited the fandom for the entire run before showing his true colors at the very end where Bleach was going to be dead in the water.

I was being imperbolic but there are bleach threads fucking daily, and no, they barely are about shipping. Check the archives

Orihime literally should have been killed off. Nobody would have given a damn.

I'd really enjoy Bleach threads more if I could criticize parts I don't like like we do with Naruto threads. Instead, I'm stuck arguing about shipping crap and being told I'm a brainlet if I just say I didn't like something. Fuck this.

You are just a flatchest worshipper

And it ended up having more SOUL than the canon. Ichigo and Rukia just worked. Kubo refused to see that because he loved his waifu so much.

>it was that way in the original japanese
No shit, and?

Kubo wanted two members of the opposite sex being close without falling for each other. He told you this years ago.

>Nobody would have given a damn.
Ichigo would
>he loved his waifu so much
I dont see what Rangiku has to do with it

>And it ended up having more SOUL than the canon
Jesus fuck, can you people just chill with this shit already

>Viz rewrote so much of her dialogue.
Viz, and the anime are both shit for the changes they did, no doubt about that. Even Kubo stated that the changes the anime made made him nauseous.

Man, Orihime is such an interesting character! Like, I remember her... uh... BIG TITTIES! Yeah, those were great! She truly is the most thought-provoking and most substantial female character in Bleach!

God damn it the way pierrot draws mouths is horrible

I think at the very least Rukia canonically loved Ichigo at one point.
She also got attached to the real world and in general the kindness she received from everybody in the real world.

Man back in the day I thought that Ichigo and co. would save Rukia from the clutches of this evil organization and they would then resume ghostbusting in comfy Karakura town after that.
I never thought the manga would turn into Gotei 13: Starring Kurosaki Ichigo.

>I dont see what Rangiku has to do with it
It was fucking obvious Orihime was more of his waifu than Rangiku. I can tell from the literal character shilling and panel-time. Rangiku doesn't compare.

Man, Rukia is such an interesting character! Like, I remember her... uh... FLAT CHEST! Yeah, those were great! She truly is the most thought-provoking and most substantial female character in Bleach!

>I think at the very least Rukia canonically loved Ichigo at one point.
I disagree, but I do think she got on so well with him because he reminded her of Kaien, her dear mentor.

He never baited you. You baited yourselves. Especially after the SS arc.

What? The truth. Sorry, I'm not going to eat that soulless bullshit canon gave with that Ichigo and Orihime nonsense everyone and their mother refused no matter how many times Kubo kept serving.

>I'm not going to eat that soulless bullshit canon gave

Opposing ships ruined both Naruto and Bleach through bandwaggoning "he is a hack writer". Atleast with Narusaku,it was a few delusional shippers eating bait,Ichiruki had actual substance.

At least people actually liked Hinata despite how much of an empty void she was as a character. Orihime was crap and nobody wanted her with Ichigo and Kubo knew that damn well.

>But he just wanted to write what he wanted!
If you're going to publish a series to the masses, you need to realize it isn't just about what you want. Just because you want write a scene where a man is raped by a chicken doesn't mean people are going to want to see that.

>Ichigo was ready to tackle HM all by himself just to save her
Exactly this is why.
This felt very forced.

Ichigo turned into a very generic hero character because of this.
With Rukia you could justify it because of their history with each-other and how if it weren't for her his family would be dead etc.
Kubo spent a lot of time with this, familiarizing Rukia to the audience hence why readers wanted to see Ichigo save Rukia badly.

With Orihime you don't have that stuff.
Ichigo and Orihime never feel more than acquaintances at best and not much is portrayed to the readers to make them engaged to Orihime's character.
Kubo doesn't spend much time building Ichigo's and Orihime's relationship, we just get a lazy cringey confession scene from Orihime's part and then she lets herself get kidnapped that's fucking it.
This is why it feels like just a convenient plot device to bait Ichigo into going to Hueco Mundo.

Orihime and Tatsuki had a closer and more believable relationship than Ichigo and Orihime ever did.
Orihime awakening her powers when Tatsuki gets hurt is the most memorable Orihime moment for me.

Ah yes, letting the fanbase ditctate how your story should go. That always goes well.

Ichigo went to save Rukia to repay his debt. Meanwhile he went to save Orihime because he considered them nakama. What are you going on about? This is all in the manga.

Kubo already did that with everything. He could have actually done it where it truly mattered at the end.

>Ichigo and Orihime never feel more than acquaintances at best and not much is portrayed to the readers to make them engaged to Orihime's character.
You are either anime only, or speedread the manga

>kills off Gin and Ulquiorra in the same arc
If Kubo actually gave in to fans, he would have brought those two back. The only thing he gave into was giving the Shinigami a lot of screen time due to their popularity.

You can anywhere and ask them do they like Orihime. The responses you'll receive are either "No" or "I really didn't care about her" or "She was annoying".

Im pretty sure Kenpachi and Mayuri got all that screen time because Kubo likes them

Now I realized this is actually more true to Orihime arc in HM.
Ichigo loses his shinigami powers like his father.
A quincy fights "White"
Urahara shenanigans save the day

And wasn't the Shinigami stuff in part because of his editors asking for it?

My favorite Orihime scene was when her shield breaks when a mini-boss attacks her.

I must have hit the jackpot, because Kubo started showing pages with similar scenes whenever Orihime "fought".

Even that less than lovers more than friends quote they love hanging onto was mistranlated.

Hinata was the right choice. Orihime most certainly was NOT, Rukia was. I don't care that it's a meme opinion, everything went to shit after SS.

Him saying that to Renji makes sense because Renji was completely incompetent and did nothing but impede Ichigo the entire arc. Renji was completely incapable of doing anything to save Rukia because his resolve was so weak and Ichigo had to beat it into him. Ichigo saved her and essentially handed her off to Renji so he could continue doing the heavy lifting of fighting vice-captains and Byakuya.

I'm with you, user.

It's more than enough for you IRfags to still be autistically seething over the fact your ship is dead and your fanbase is a damn joke. You fags are still fighting a war that's been long over and most anons here have long stopped giving a fuck.

But please. Continue on whining and crying that Himefags aren't real. It's really amusing to watch shipperfags like you go full retard.

Orihime was best when she was a side-character in the first arc. Her being a side-character and her having her little friendship with Tatsuki and stuff made the Bleach world feel bigger, just like the rest of Ichigo's school-friends who weren't the central part of the story.

When Kubo tried making her into a main character it just didn't work.

Bleach should have stuck as a SoL ghostbusting series.

My main problem with Renruki is that I feel like it could be good but they don't really get any good moments. Ichigo greatly overshadows Renji's presence during the SS arc and we already saw Ichigo and Rukia's friendship grow in the first arc. If Renji and Rukia got more moments together later in the manga it would be way more satisfying.

>he forgot the flashback
>he forgot how kubo connected the past to the present with renruki
Shame on you.

Rukia felt much more like friend than Orihime did.
This is in the manga idiot.

Orihime feels like a McGuffin character for Ichigo to save.

>SoLfags

The flashback was good but it doesn't really feel romantic. Renji and Rukia just act like nakama from the SS arc until the ending.

> Ichigo greatly overshadows Renji's presence during the SS arc
Well obviously. It's the crew versus all of SS. Also what about the flashback?

>If Renji and Rukia got more moments together later in the manga it would be way more satisfying.
But most of Rukia's scenes in the story are usually with Renji after Aizen

RenRukifags always bring up the childhood friend stuff to say why they were always meant to be even though by its logic Ichigo and Tatsuki should have been endgame.

That's different because Kubo forgot Tatsuki existed

No and no.
Ichigo didn't hang out much with Orihime pre-Arrancar arc.
Majority of his screen-time in first arc was with Rukia and then in the second arc it was just him fighting SS goons.

I get that you formulated your own headcanon but in the actual manga Ichigo spends very little time with Orihime before Arrancar arc.
Orihime too him was the friend of a friend(Tatsuki) originally.

Wrong

>but it doesn't really feel romantic.
Have to disagree on that one, especially on their parting scene.

Rukia was the better girl
maybe orihime reminded ichigo of his mom or something

Yeah but they just appear together as shinigami working together and friends, there aren't any moments where they show romantic inclination whatsoever.

Literally nothing.

>No and no.
>actually yes and yes

I mentioned the childhood friend trope because it's a trope I personally like if done right. Tatsuki was basically forgotten, and I never got the romantic feeling I got from RR. I don't think any reader really did which is why Tatsuki x Ichigo was not on anyones radar.

Even Toei gave him a better girlfriend.

Krillin got ruined with that arc.
Only retarded Americans who never only watched Z think otherwise.

He literally abandons Rukia, who he knows is dying, just because Ulqiuorra baited him out by saying he kidnapped Orihime. And that's nothing?

Literally every single Bleach thread is a complete shitfest, what are you talking about?

His resolve was not weak Renji even antagonised Rukia when leading her to jail. Called her a criminal that deserved death. Fuck Renji.

>Other fandoms opinions? Like who fucking cares
Clearly you since you seem to be both arguing that this was a shit ending because Ichigo didn't end up with Rukia but also better than Naruto's even though most left satisfied.

At least Naruto got to get extra movies. Bleach needed fucking novels of al things just to wrap up shit Kubo didn't get to

Retarded nigger.
Grimmjow was implying that Ichigo cared more about fighting than saving Orihime.
He was downright questioning Ichigo's so-called "heroism".

This I can agree with.

That's what I mean, Renji needed Ichigo to beat him to near death to actually kick his ass into gear to try to save Rukia, before that his resolve was weak and that's why he lost to Ichigo. Ichigo was there to save Rukia and Renji was pissed off because he blamed Ichigo for the situation rather than trying to save her.

>The ones specifically focusing on shipping, like this one, happen every few months.
I have definitely been in more shipping arugment threads for Bleach than otherwise. And if the thread doesn't start out that way, it either turns into it because someone will ask "what went wrong"

There's been a few recently in the past couple of weeks.

Tosh is fucking terrible, you can only tell she is Orihime by her hairpins

>I don't care that it's a meme opinion, everything went to shit after SS.
It's not. It's an OG Oldfag opinion.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a zoomer who didn't read the series since 2001.

His resolve was not weak. He didn't even had any resolve. It looked like Renji could kill Rukia himself if he was allowed to. He doesn't deserve Rukia. Kubo fucked up

So who else remembers when the spoilers were dropped and we got that leaked picture of Ichika

"Ichigo face the Rukia" anybody?

Ichigo's character truly peaked here.
After this it was all downhill.

So cute.

There´s been over a dozen bleach threads in the last couple of days, all extremelly low quality, starting with OPs like "why was bleach so shit" or "why was bleach the best", but this is the only shipping thread that got big

You know what’s really amusing? Watching bleachfags spend entire threads arguing over ships because the story is shit

It's not. It's an old one. There have been a total of five heroine spreads in WSJ history. Orihime wasn't featured in the last two cause one of them was reserved solely for heroines that had an anime airing, and the last one happened after Bleach was done already. Here's the other one she was featured in.

>Agonizes over the fact that she could get 20 more years added to her sentence for even going near Ichigo.
>Frequently visits her cell to check up on her.
>Removes his vice captain's badge, symbolic of the fact that he's now acting not out of duty but sentiment. Goes to avenge Rukia because he sees no way out of this for her.

You a pleb:
>It looked like Renji could kill Rukia himself if he was allowed to.

cringe

Rukia can fight while Orihime is helpless.
I'm not making a case for IR since Ichigo paid his debt to Rukia before that.

>Not subscribing to IH shipper autism means I'm an IRfag
You tumblrinas are really sad you know that?

Cope

>Renji needed Ichigo to beat him to near death to actually kick his ass into gear to try to save Rukia
Which is exactly why RenRuki is a shit pairing.
If you wrote romance manga it would be the worst shit ever written guaranteed.

Before the flashback, what was your opinion?

Please highlight where in that sentence I called you an ichirukifag.

But now that you're throwing a massive hissy-fit over it, I wonder.

Seething

Cringe

Attached: DcWwOs3XUAANJAF.jpg (1087x868, 90K)

It had potential.
Like the manga could have shifted focus from Ichigo and Rukia in one chapter to Orihime and Tatsuki killing a bunch of hollows in another chapter and for example you can imagine a Mizuiro-Keigo pairing where Keigo is incompetent and Mizuiro saves his ass often etc.
Would have been a cool series.

>You now remember Mizuiro throwing a fucking exploding bottle at Aizen's face
Fuck, what a madman he was.
It's a crime that he was shifted to the wayside.

Coping

>Rukia can fight while Orihime is helpless.
Okay I don't know if you forgot the context of that scene but that was after Rukia fought Aaroniero and was laying on the floor bleeding out. Ichigo was literally going to save her and even tells Ulq "i've got no time to fight you" until he mentions "I'm the one who kidnapped Orihime" and then he loses it on him

Seething

Then IchiRuki should be considered a shit pairing too since Orihime had to motivate Ichigo to go to Soul Society to save Rukia instead of sitting on his ass and brood.

Dilating

Yikes

>Yikes
Now THAT’S cringe

>Muh unreliable narrator meme
Yeah I get it, the narrator is only reliable when it suits you.
Fact is plenty of characters hinted at Ichigo liking fighting but not wanting to admit it.

>It's an old one
If you consider Shokugeki no Soma old. I don't.

It had a lot of potential. I like some of the shinigami and other characters introduced later, but there was just way too many of them. Keeping it to just the ghost busting could have solved the issue of way to many fucking characters and not enough time to develop them.

People who compare Orihime to Hinata should be shot.

Better than Kubo any fucking day.

You mentioned Rukia out of nowhere.

Fullbringer Arc was clearly where they were going to take center stage since the Shinigami were written out.

NSfags have been seething for WAY longer.

Man of course I forgot a lot of that shitty arc.
Like I said I'm not advocating IR. Saving Orihime was the main objective of the arc and did Ichigo even know about Rukia being in huge danger? Like he knew she was but he couldn't have known how much in danger she was + Orihime will always be more in need because she can't fight.
With Rukia you can figure she might find a way to survive somehow.

Only been a few months difference

BOOTYBLASTED

Naruto ended back in November 2014, Bleach in August 2016. That's a two year difference.

>Then IchiRuki should be considered a shit pairing
I never argued they were a good pairing. I just argued their friendship was well developed.

That said Orihime's pep talk was pointless.
Pic related, Ichigo wanted to save Rukia as fast as possible when Urahara told him that he would have to train with him for 10 days.

Afterwards he questions himself if he really should go save her since that would be meddling in others affairs, but he's clearly depressed in school.
It's the only time where Bleach's writing is actually grounded and relatable to normal people. It's the only time where the reader can put himself in Ichigo's shoes.

It was so fun but japs had shit taste.

Like you know any better.
Hence why you make headcanon arguments to validate your ship and can't accept that Kubo developed it poorly.

...

Even if Rukia ran out of Reiatsu she could still do something unlike Orihime.
Not to mention that of course Byakuya was going to save her while nobody else was going to save Orihime.

No wait. Did Byakuya save Rukia in that arc?
I forget. I just can't remember so much of Bleach, what a garbage series.

You -> shit taste

>Like you know any better
I do. Now fuck off and cope

What the fuck are you talking about? Were you there? Do you remember the last chapter?

Are you reading this thread? Like what?

>retard blames the series for his failings as a reader
Literally every bleach critic

That user is clearly being sarcastic

It was.
Ichigo was already resolved to save her before hence why he accepted Urahara's training.

Orihime wasn't the catalyst for Ichigo going to save Rukia, she just kept him sharp by giving him a push when he needed it.

Ok retard

Ichigo was still torn since she came from a different world and wasn’t sure if he should even bother to interfere, but Orihime gave him the push he needed.

Tosh's art has way better fappability. For both female and male characters.

lol

Nice cope

If Bleach was good it wouldn't be so forgettable.
I suppose that's why I remember more from the first and second arcs.

Hueco Mundo was just some boring desert and FKT was boring empty skies with some Gotei 13 members and Espadas fighting pointless battles I didn't give a shit about and Aizen trolling. Barely any story.
