Quote by iamrobinsenaI actually had
some in Japan. During a group trip to Japan last year, one of our stops was in
Hiroshima. Needless to say, the morning sightseeing left us pretty bummed, but
afterwards we had lunch at a okonomiyaki restaurant. (Apparently Hiroshima is
renowned for its okonomiyaki.) There, they gave you prepared okonomiyaki that
you cooked and flipped yourself on a skillet on the table, and of course you had
your sauces. I ate three by myself!
I heard that okonomiyaki is considered the "Japanese pancake". Is
there any truth to this?
Quote by hemlig4everhave you read
anything of the manga....INOUE FFS!
have you NOT READ anything of the above posts?!?!
Quote by Kirika-DonoHowever much I
like the Inoue/Ichigo pairing, I'm kind of hoping he doesn't end up with anyone,
and Kubo leaves it to our imaginations.
Then again, I'm just hoping that Bleach won't be just another anime where the
two main characters fall in love and such.
;>_>
I'm very sorry, but really there is no imagination left to imagine, because
everything has been so strongly implied. Anime - opening and ending themes are
Ichigo/Rukia implied. This is when a couple has been established by the creator
but their journey to being an official couple has not been revealed yet.
I don't understand why so many people are complaining about "two main
characters falling in love". 99% of the time, it's like this. Why must
people complain about Bleach but not other series? It's a formula that everyone
is used to, and it works.
Quote by reeningYes, good point there.
But if chigo were to go with Rukia, that would be one good point. But in most
cases, if you are following the manga, Ichigo and two friends are now in Hueco
Mundo, trying to find the kidnapped Inoue. So..anything can happen..and it's all
in Kubo's hands...
>_< Yes, I am following the manga. But what most people thought was,
Ichigo could like Orihime in this rescue mission just because he showed some
feelings for Rukia in her rescue mission. That is not true. He didn't fall in
love with Rukia when he was saving her. What kept Ichigo motivated was he
ALREADY had those feelings for her before he went out to save her. Otherwise,
where did all the motivation come from? So if Ichigo didn't fall in love with
Rukia when he was saving her, why should he fall in love with Orihime when he
was saving her? He has made it plainly clear that he is going to save Orihime as
a friend. In Rukia's case, he wasn't even sure why he wanted to save her, when
he knows she belongs in Soul Society. Orihime does not belong in Hueco Mundo.
She was kidnapped. It's only right that he goes to save her. If he doesn't go
and save her, that is not Kurosaki Ichigo.
One read at the description of the guy just tells me she should not get married.
What a jerk! Never pays for meals, leeches a woman's money, no engagement ring
and all? A woman's most important moment in life is when she gets married, a
ring is the only most important thing she would cherish until she dies and the
guy says he doesn't believe in it? Seriously just dump him and move on! This
type of relationship will not end up in a good way at all. The guy should be
warded off completely. Women are better off without him. SHOULD NOT GET MARRIED
TO THIS GUY.
Most people does not realise that the chapter which shows Orihime declaring her
love is nothing new. Her love was made known since Chapter 2. In fact, the
recent released chapter, Chapter 0a from Volume 23, shows that her love was
present even before Rukia entered Ichigo's life. And yet, there have been no
development in their relationship beyond that of a friend. The fact that Ichigo
has not reciprocated in the 5 years running of Bleach, and his growing
relationship with Rukia, including Orihime's jealousy, speak volumes on how
painfully one-sided Orihime's love is day by day.
I think people have failed to understand who Ichigo wanted to protect in the
first place. From Chapter 0a, he wanted to protect helpless SPIRITS. He feels
their pain whenever they disappeared into thin air, he didn't understand soul
burial (because Rukia hasn't come into his life yet) and he wanted to put a stop
to all these pain he was feeling. Because of Rukia, his circle of protection
extended. He had said, he could not protect strangers from monsters in the
beginning. But Rukia broke his depression, which he had carried on himself since
his mother died. She gave him a new resolution after the Grand Fisher episode,
from here he started to see that he will protect EVERYONE from Hollows. However.
People again misunderstood that he obtain his shinigami powers for the sake of
his friends. No. Ichigo re-obtained his shinigami powers for the sake of saving
Rukia. It was for her that he bothered to train. It was for her that he left his
family to go for training, to go to Soul Society (family which he cared for,
which he wanted to protect). It was for her that he must obtain Bankai. It was
for her happiness, that he let her stay
in Soul Society. Because it was her decision. And he respected it, by saying,
"If you have already decided....then it is good that way,". We could
see that he told her to get a rest for 'tomorrow's journey'. He had fully
expected her to return to the Human World with him. Wasn't that clear enough? As
for her? It was for him that she left him suddenly one night, even though we
could see that it pained her to do so. It is for him that she had to act cruelly
so that Byakuya will spare his life. It is for him that she denied her true
feelings (that she is becoming attached to the Human World), and it is for him
that she was willing to accept her punishment and die. Such heavy implications
are placed on their understanding and bond with each other shows that it
surpasses comradship on every level. Chad and Ichigo are comrades. Yet Rukia and
Ichigo's relationship is also greatly different from Chad and Ichigo's. Every
single scene of their reunion and separation was done in double or full pages,
if not more. What do you think the author is trying to tell us if there is
nothing more than 'comradeship' going on? We don't see such heavy emphasis on
the emotional impact placed in these drawings and panels when Ichigo and Chad
meet again, when Ichigo and Ishida meet again, when Ichigo and Inoue meet again.
Fast forward into the Arrancar Arc. He was deep in depression when Chad, Tatsuki
and Inoue were hurt. No-one, if you remember, could cheer him up. His father's
normality kick to his face couldn't. Orihime's gentle reassurance couldn't. It
was Rukia's re-appearance in his life, Rukia's words that struck a deep nerve in
him. If you were in love, everything that person says, or do, will affect you,
no matter what. Fast forward to a few chapters. Ichigo as we know, repeatedly
refused to join the Vizards. He snapped and gave in, in the chapter after Rukia
was hurt. And that was also the chapter where Orihime had caught Ichigo looking
so tenderly and utter misery at Rukia. Tell me, have we seen Ichigo with such a
face like that in all 241 chapters of Bleach when his friends or family were
hurt? We see it in this chapter because the author wants to stress to us
readers, that THAT look IS important. You said that Rukia is a shinigami, and
she didn't want people to protect her. That's true, that was what Rukia said to
Ichigo when he looked at her with guilt on his face. She said, "Do you
think you are responsible for my injuries? My injuries are my mistake. I am not
so weak that I need your protection." That is Rukia for you. But do we see
Ichigo listening? No. He went to the Vizards anyway, to get rid of his problem,
so he can protect everyone, including her. In the Soul Society Arc, Ichigo said
to Rukia, "Your opinions are rejected. I am going to drag you out no matter
what. I am going to save you, no matter what you say." He knows she is
stubborn. But he wants to save her, protect her anyway.
Even if you do not acknowledge these subtle romantic hints, that is fine. But it
is a fact that their relationship is the main relationship of Bleach, and one
that undeniably has the most potential to develop into romance.
Renji is very possible, if Ichigo did not appear in Rukia's life. Read Chapter
0b, which was included and released in the Japanese version of Bleach Volume 23.
As for Orihime, it is a bit sadder, because even if Rukia did not appear in
Ichigo's life, she wouldn't have a chance anyway, because nothing would have
happened, Ichigo would not look at her in any other way more than a friend. Read
Chapter 0a, which was also included and released in Japanese version of Bleach
Volume 23.
From these two chapters, it is clear that they are fated to meet each other.
Fate brought them together, the story of Bleach started with the both of them,
and it will make sense for it to end with the both of them.
From the SOULs Official Character Book (which I own), the Hollow inside Ichigo
is STILL named Ichigo. In the VIBEs Official Animation Book (which I also own),
it is also being named Ichigo, but it has a nickname, called 'Shiro Ichigo'.
Shiro, meaning white. That's all.
Ichigo marries Inoue and have baby shinigamis? You must be joking.
Ichigo marries RUKIA and they have baby shinigamis.
End of Bleach, Aizen dies, Tousen dies with his eyesight restored, but too late
baby, his blind justice has gone to waste, Gin lives, redeemed himself by saving
Matsumoto in the last second, also he will go against Aizen. Kenpachi finally
learns shikai and bankai.
Rukia stays in the real world and Ichigo marries her.
Quote by SlichYou guys havent seen chapter
237 of the manga have you?
YES, I did. But it was still Orihime's one sided affections.
Quote:
And after that 238? Those 2 episodes bring out a more close relationship between
Ichigo and Inoue than you might think...
How is that so? Ichigo would have gone against Soul Society anyway if Chad was
kidnapped.
Quote: And then the whole argument
that Ichigo only went to save Rukia falls apart.
I think you have misunderstood the argument. Ichigo would go to save ANYONE. The
difference is, when Ichigo wants to save Rukia, he was more distraught. He kept
having flashbacks of Rukia in the rain during his time at Urahara's shop. He
lost his frowns a lot of times. With Inoue, there was no flashback, no rain. The
rain is a very important symbol in Ichigo's life. Even Zangetsu himself said,
"I hate the rain, Ichigo. When you are sad, it rains in your inner
world." And when he left Soul Society, Ichigo said in his heart,
"Because of you, Rukia, the rain has stopped falling."
It is without a doubt who Ichigo has feelings for.
Quote:
PS. I dont think you should judge the relationships based on the false filler
eps...
This I agree. From the manga, it is dead clear that Ichigo and Rukia's
relationship has gone to another level when she returned from Soul Society.
That's the reason for Orihime's jealousy and sadness.
hmm.....after going through the manga all over again, i find ichigo having more
feelings for rukia...not just because he really wanted to save her, but if u see
his actions he totally has something for her...as for inoue it is just "oh
it's u inoue, what's up" or "oh, thank u, inoue." or "i see,
inoue."
Quote by Lemswell.... I don't think she will
die, but maybe she will get seriously wounded protecting ichigo... everyone will
think that she's gonna die, but miracle MIRACLE ! she's ALIVE and kicking
because she made a barrier at the last second... or something like that
anyway...
but orihime is my favortite character, ... she can't
die...
Sorry! She probably won't die. Kubo doesn't like killing off the good guys.
He hasn't killed any good guys in these 5 years, so you can relax for now!
^__^
Quote by kyubinarutoWell well, Kubo
did say that he's going to make IchiHime cannon.
there is no proof for that. if u are going to say something like that at least
provide an official source. just to let you know the standings for bleach
pairing in japan, ichiruki is #1 for 2006. ichihime is at #22.
in 2005, ichiruki was #2, #1 was ginKira, and for that year, ichihime was at
#19.
this is backed up by a japanese bleach fan.
Quote by LanceVIIIi completely agree
with you man. bleach and naruto is boring. its ONLY popular because its
overrated by people.
there are much better animes out there. but if u like mindless fighting then by
all means, watch bleach
yep exactly...the only reason my sister watches Naruto and Bleach is because
everyone else likes them...and you shouldn't be like that...don't like something
because everyone else likes it...
Personally, I've never watched Bleach and I plan not to, there are better animes
out there than that
My sympathy goes out to you for missing one of
the best MANGA series in your entire life.
Ok ok. I find it strange when people say Ichigo and Rukia comes from different
worlds. Look at it this way. Ichigo is a shinigami. And his shinigami powers is
not from Rukia. He DISCOVERED HIS OWN shinigami powers THROUGH Rukia. For people
who reads the manga only.....
Spoiler:
His
father is a shinigami. Ever the more reason he is a pureblood
shinigami.
Makes it even more reason that his world belongs in the shinigami world.
2nd point.... Also for people who reads the manga only....
Spoiler:
Kubo
loves making opposites. Shinigamis are opposites of Arrancars, Vizards,
Shinigami = black clothed. Arrancars = white clothed. Ichigo's bankai = all
black. Rukia's shikai = all white. She doesn't have a bankai so we can't compare
that far.
Kubo is seriously messing up with all of us. So seriously messing us up that it
is NOT FUNNY.
By the way, please check the "Will Orihime die" thread. There are
instances of Inoue vs Rukia there. Just a bit, though. Discussions are always
good.
Ok ok ok....first of all I know "inoue vs rukia" is very hot on the
internet right now because of the current few chapters that has been released.
But let us calm down a bit and try to look into the puzzle.
1. Remember Ichigo fighting with Grimmjaw in 232 and his mask suddenly broke? I
suspect it wasn't because his 11 seconds to hold are up.
2. Remember in chapter 234 Ulquiorra appeared and told Orihime if she doesn't go
with him back to Hueco Mundo, he will kill her friends? And Ulquiorra showed a
wall video of Ichigo, Matsumoto and Hitsugaya. In the middle there is Ichigo.
Now in that still motion, his mask JUST broke.
3. What if his mask broke BECAUSE Inoue was in danger?
Ok I know this is a very absurd thinking....because I'm not Kubo, I don't know
what is he going to plan next. But I find it scary to think about since I am
IchiRuki.
thanks guys for all your opinions.... i have something else to ask...
--
do you guys think that kubo will give us the same dramatic thing normally
dramas/animes do? picture this: ichigo got slashed in combat, probably his
emotions got owned or something, and in that moment, orihime dashes out (bcos
she loves him so much) while shouting 'kurosaki-kun!' and she then casts some
spell barrier thing over ichigo, then some aizen hybrid espada vastorode
whatever gives her a big big blow as she dashes forward. then ichigo will shoult
"inoue!" and this is when we see orihime flying in the air with
injury. then we will see sappy endings like orihime finally confessing her love
for ichigo and he holds her hand and she closes her eyes.
another possible ending is she doesn't die after all that. and ichigo ends up
with her after realising how she has given her life to protect him and he will
now in turn protect her for life.
now wouldn't that be a pain in the heart for all rukia and ichigo supporters? i
am so going to hate bleach if that is what kubo has in mind. (no offense to
ichigo and orihime people please...)
Ichigo and Rukia.
Weird. Last reply is 2 days ago but when I click in here, it says 4 weeks.
Yeah it is 'Japanese pancake'.

Although we would know the outcome by Wednesday or Thursday....
What are people's opinions so far on the latest chapter of Bleach? (Chapter 235)
Will Rukia live or die?
I want her to live! Though I don't know whether Kubo Tite will kill her off!

Not now, maybe 50 chapters ahead. Someone suggested she may die trying to protect Ichigo later on. maybe even the last few pages of Bleach.
