OTP - Ichigo & Orihime - IchiHime [BLEACH]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Or Anti-V-Day, if you’re not into the highly commercialized, lovely-dovey depressing day xD; To celebrate, I present to you my one true pairing for the shounen series BLEACH: Kusoaki Ichigo and Inoue Orihime. I think I might be one of the few who support this pairing, though, for the majority are major shippers of Ichigo x Rukia, but I will never change my stance regarding these two.
I think one of the main reasons that people are against this pairing is because it’s so one-sided– Orihime is in love with Ichigo, but Ichigo hasn’t shown he felt the same way. That’s assuming he even notices her feelings for him. I have a friend who is against all childhood friend turn lover relationships, for he can’t imagine himself falling for his own childhood friend, though technically Tatsuki and Ichigo are the childhood friends, not Orihime.
I have a soft spot for one-sided, unrequited love kind of situations, so maybe that’s why I’m rooting for Orihime. That, and I also don’t see the validity in Ichigo x Rukia. They could just as easily be close friends as well. Practically every point in that goes towards Rukia can apply to Orihime as well. The fact that the two have more on-air time together is what’s truly pushing that pairing. If anything, it’s just as one-sided on Rukia’s part as Orihime’s is. Other than that fact, I’m a big Renji x Rukia fan myself.
In any case, I like to believe that Ichigo is completely dense where matters of love are concerned, and I will believe that Ichigo is fighting so hard to get Orihime back not only because she’s a friend and he treasues his friends, but because he’s slowly beginning to realize his feelings for her. May be a pipe dream, but I’ll hold onto it all the same.
The biggest, or rather my favourite, IchiHime episode was 141, despite the fact that Ichigo was unconscious the entire time of her visit. It was a really powerful and emotional episode to me, show just how much Ichigo means to Orihime. Then there’s the moments where Ichigo was thoroughly depressed when Orihime and Chad (mainily Orihime) were injured after the first run in with the Arrancars, and all the times Orihime heals Ichigo and feels slightly jealous of Rukia… -dreamy sigh- I hope I’m not missing something in the manga in regards to Ichihime, since I don’t read it– or the last five or so episodes, because I’m behind. I’d hate to miss out on IchiHime.

IchiHime is the only pairing I accept regarding those two characters. Ichigo is another case but Orihime has blatantly revealed her love for him already even though he was unconscious at the time. Now only if Ichigo can be less dense even if he is a shounen main character…
Mm, that’s true. Along with IchiHime, I used to kind of like Ishida and Orihime after that one episode way back when during the rescue Rukia arc. But now that Orihime’s gone and really said she loves Ichigo, I won’t like any other pairing than those two ^^ Mm, if only Ichigo can confess, too! That’ll be the day.
I’m glad you like this pairing, though! I thought I was the only one xDD;
i love this ep too..as i’m a big fan of this pairing..lol
but i wish she had kissed him on the lips!! AHHHHHH
Yes I totally agree!! =^-^=
Orihime is the only woman 4 Ichi-kun! If only she kissed him! I think Ichi-kun is going realize his feelings!
the recent episode i watched, something in the 160s made me begin to feel ichigo might harbout feelings for orihime. In that moment when ulchiorra says it was he that forced orhime to join aizen, ichigo goes absolutely crazy with rage. he forgets about the fact that rukia is dieing (!) because he is so consumed with anger towards ulchiorra for what he has done to orihime.
It wouldn’t be Orihime’s nature to kiss him, so I’m glad she didn’t. But it’s still frustrating xD
hilary: I had that same exact feeling. He bypasses the fact that Rukia’s dying to attack the man who took Orihime away from him…! xD I’d like to think that, but an annoying little voice in my head is also saying that if he got Orihime she could heal Rukia for him T__T
I’m surprised there’s no Ichigo x Rukia fans yet! Yay!
i wish that after the battle with aizen ichigo wud realise that orihime meant more to him than just a friend. i like rukia too but she is like 150 and renji and her seem so cute together! i can only see ichigo and rukia as good friends. orihime and ichigo seem perfect for each other and he was soo angry and upset when he found out orihime was gone. i think the battle with ulqiorra will be cool because i think most of it will be revenge for taking orihime away!
^__^ cant wait!
yea im with ya i love orhime and i dont get why people hate her. just because shes weak sometimes and got big boobs doesnt make a person weak. an she is trying to get stronger for ichigo. your right ichigo did get angry also when they told him she had died.
This is all nonsense!!!! Orihime and ichigo don’t seem to fit together at all its not that i don’t like her, well actually i find her annoying, she and him would look cute together but thats about it really, when i first saw bleach it was in the middle of the rukia arc, i first saw orihime then i saw ichigo and i thought they were cute together, but when i noticed her bizarre personality i switched over…
Are you KIDDING me!?1 I don’t think so. I don’t think the the idea of Rukia and Ichigo together are good. First off, despite them being the two main characters, I think Rukia sees Ichigo more as her brother or somebody she has. As you can tell through the episodes, you watched. She fights with him often, cares about him, and has sister-like traits like the time she only sees Ichigo as somebody who looked like Kaien and not to mention, Ichigo seems to care for Orihime, despite being dense and not knowing Orihime’s feeling for him, just as Orihime cares for him despite her unrequited love. Hopefully for now…and besides Ichigo went to the FASTER or at least from what I can recall from the time. I think Ichigo took more TIME to rescue Rukia if you look coloser at it. Although we don’t know quite yet what will happen, Tite Kubo answer will definately help….hopefully.
I don’t think so! ^ I think IchiHime FTW! Because first off, Rukia treats Ichigo more like a brother and though he reminds her of Kaien, it still makes no different and just because they’re both the main characters (Rukia and Ichigo), doesn’t make any difference eithier! Not to mention, it took him a bit wee longer to save Rukia in the Soul Society then saving Orihime in Hueco Mundo! Not to mention Ichigo does care for Orihime even though it’s not fully revealed on Ichigo’s part. I think Tite Kubo will fully explain or at least show what happens!
