Using astronomy charts try to liken Ichigo and Orihime to star constellations does not make it canon. No, neither does the 'Tanabata' myth make it magically canon.

Saying that the chapters of Bleach entitled 'Eagle Without Wings' and 'Winged Eagles' is a complicated metaphor for a constellation that is -related- to eagles which = Ichigo and Orihime having sex like a pair of North American Bald Eagles does not make it canon.

Saying that Orihime is going to get with Ichigo invariably because she is 'submissive' enough to be a good wifey for him doesn't make it canon.

Applying Western-style numerology to the chapter numbers of Bleach that Ichigo and/or Orihime appears in in order to produce the number 7, 3 or 15 does not, actually, in fact, make it canon.

Comparing Bleach to Harry Potter, Avatar, anything derived from Asian mythology, any musicals, anything by Jane Austen...look, just stop. It doesn't make it canon.

Complicated Japanese shrine symbolism? Making up manga scenes as a 'what if' as to what -must- have happened in between scenes? Western astrology? Tarot? Anything South American? Complicated music videos recycling footage from 'Romeo and Juliet'? Photoshop? You guessed it-- not canon!

For the love of fuck, stop making the rest of us Bleach fans look insane. Work with what precious little Kubo gave you instead of making us look retarded, please.

PS. Post some fucking Orihime in this thread in the hopes that you assholes will stop raping her characterization.

Also, saying that, while you only saw the right half of the spread:

"*adds NEW PICTURE* ICHIXHIME IS OFFICIALLY CANON IN MY EYES!!!"

"OMG AND MY DREAMS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED "

"that sounds CANON to me"

"HOW ANYONE CAN DENY THIS NOT BEING ICHIXHIME CANON IS ON CRACK!!!!!"

"At 11:00PM PST, IchixHime Officially became canon."


"oh gosh..somebody please help me control my fangirlness..im going obessive with this canon "

"I did die and go to heaven *flies away*"
"As long as Rukia doesn't have a phone in the picture, I don't care if she's giving googly eyes to Ichigo! Ichigo is looking at the P.H.O.N.E, thus, he will be paying attention to O.R.I.H.I.M.E"

"I like that Ichigo and Orihime's clothes compliment each other"

"*sigh* You guys would be lost without me, wouldn't you? Didn't I tell you I'd get this ship to our destination!? "

... only makes the whole fandom laugh at you.

(also, that's 2 groups of 3 which = IchiHimeNell family, and IchiHimeNell orgy)


9 x 2 = 18 - 3 = 15

(Ichigo's birthday!)
9 + 2 = 11 and 1 + 1 = 2

(Ichigo and Orihime!)
And let's not forget, 9 - 2 = 7 (WHOOH!!! LUCKY NUMBER 7!!! Orihime and Tanabata^^)

Oh, you just had to go there, didn't you, Anonymous. Accept your punishment.

"These are strictly EAGLE facts, with NO IchiHime. **gasp!** Blasphemous, I know… Well, of course *I* can see the IchiHime-ness of it, but really, I’m just shelling out facts and letting everyone else decide for themselves what they think/like about the eagles and you guys can relate these facts to IchiHime in any way you’d like.

Note: I’ll be referencing most of this stuff to Bald Eagles. Vega and Altair have no specific eagle species (like the Bald Eagle, Golden Eagle, Brown Snake Eagle, etc) that they are identified with, so I’m just going with the North American Bald Eagle because I know the most about the species and have researched the most about it.

If Tanabata were to be associated with ANY type of eagle, it’d most likely be one that exists in or around China, since that’s the original country the festival was introduced. So, the type of eagle to identify with Vega and Altair would most likely (and, mind you, this is a complete guess on my part) be the White-Bellied Fish Eagle or Golden Eagle, since both live in/around China/Asia.

But I’m lazy and biased and whatever eagle I say Vega and Altair are, then that’s the kind they’ll be darn it! >o Besides, I dunno about anyone else, but every time I thought about that couple, bald eagles were the first thing that popped into my mind.

GAAAH. I soooo wish I hadn’t promised not to talk about my favorite couple! D: Come on, it’s killing me! The female is passive AND has a single, high-pitched call?! LOL. XDDD So…did anyone else think of big strong men battling it out in the air to impress their lady(ies)?"

Rukia's role in the story's been reduced to the point that she's pretty much on Chad's level, aside from her actually winning a fight. It's pretty clear that she exhausted her usefulness to the story in the first two arcs, and now she's just kinda there. It was a bait and switch: Rukia looked like the female lead at first, but it's really Orihime.

I'm going to have to agree with this fruit. Rukia has been near dead for almost a year. She's a non-character. Orihime is the lead female now.

And what an amazing lead female she is, screaming nothing but "Kurosaki-kun!" over and over again for the past 20+ chapters.

I dunno fuck all about this eagle nonsense you've been spouting and whatnot, but the Prototype Bleach manga paired Orihime and Ichigo from the get-go. So I just kind of figure the regular manga will probably follow the same route.

I still find Rukia to be infinitely more Fapworthy, though.

Orihime seemed more like a one-shot character in the pilot. Plus, that was the version that got rejected. Obviously a lot of things have changed since then, and personally I saw Orihime as the red herring even then anyway.

Wow, the first part of this thread was ultimate win, but the last part got fagged up by 'I read shitty translations of the manga so I got the total wrong idea, but it's OK because all interpretations are valid, even the wrong ones!11!!' people.

Yes. Rukia has totally been pushed to the side in favor of Orihime-- except that it's Rukia on all the art, Rukia's sword on the calendar, Rukia who killed an Espada, Rukia who was on the cover of the databook, Rukia who got the exposition, Rukia in the original 2008 calendar art....Do you people even fucking -read- the goddamn manga, or do you just kind of skim it until you see a picture of Orihime, then declare that she's the 'new heroine'?

If you really believe all this shit you post, you need to take some remedial reading classes right away-- or stop skimming shitty translations of the manga for 'pix'.

In before "lolz but the pilot sez its canon!111!1" Yeah, the pilot where Orihime -dies-. And did I mention that pilot was rejected? Retards.
>> Anonymous
>>460347
Oh, and the 'canonness' of the pilot consisted of Orihime telling Ichigo 'Hey, if we meet up again in the next life, let's talk more' and Ichigo going 'OK'.

Because that totally trumps 300+ chapters of development in the -actual- manga.

Holy shit, you shipper people are fucking fierce with your notions. I just brought up the prototype for lulz.

Yes, Ichigo busted his ass and risked it all to save Rukia, but he's also doing it right now for Orihime, and would do the same for any friend, regardless of gender.

If you *really* want to argue characterization and shit, the only girl in the whole manga that Ichigo's shown any interest WHATSOEVER to is Rangiku, because thankfully Ichigo isn't fucking gay and checks shit out when chicks flash the goods at him. Otherwise he's your standard Shonen Male Teen Lead, genetically predisposed to being brash but good-natured, with a strong sense of justice and a heart of gold. He got into an emo funk when Orihime got half her skull crushed just as much as he got into an emo funk when Rukia got her shit impaled, not because he was getting all weepy for them, but because he got his ass handed to him and didn't win with fucking HAX and BELIEVE IN YOURSELF powerups for a change. That's just not what happens to a Shonen Male Teen Lead.

Also, in before "it's a fucking manga would you people stop arguing about imaginary characters FUCK"

I'll set the record straight. This is the ONLY way to predict a pairing in a Shounen anime:

Take the male character's age. Divide by the number of women in the "main" group. Round down if necessary. Multiply by the number of letters in the romanization of the lead male's name. Spin around three times. If it's a Thrusday, subtract 2. And then pull a name out of your ass because odds are, the real pairing isn't going to make a fucking iota of sense. Much like "real" love.
