Nope. Ichigo married Orihime and Renji married Rukia. The former couple had a son Kazui and the latter had a daughter Ichika. They're the new "Death and Strawberry"

>>157007307
Forgot to mention that Kazui is better at using his powers than Ichigo ever was. He can manifest a shinigami form, bypass complex barriers and perform shunpo at less than 7 years old.

Why is Ichiruki famdom so annoying? How could someone expect that Ichigo and Rukia as a pairing?

They don't have reading comprehesion neither of the manga nor of Kubo's interviews who had clearly sunk their ship himself already 8 years ago, whe he clearly said that in Ichigo and Rukia's relationship there weren't romantic feelings.

What a hack. Being married to a woman you don't even consider number one in your heart.

>>157008241
sounds like NaruSaku, at least they aren't making AUs of their ship and writing walls of text instead of dropping the series.

Kubo hinted at Ichiruki hardcore both in interviews and in the manga, prior to the final arc anyway. Then there's the anime team, who played it up even more.

>>157008651
NaruSaku couldn't happen because Sakura was taken by someone else.
Ichiruki is different and less dumb.

>>157008728
Naruto kept crushing on Sakura for the entire series but at least it felt less forced. Seems like Kubo dropped the ball for any pairing that wasn't SasuSaku

>>157008820
I think Kishimoto had a bit of a romantic side, whereas Kubo just used romance as bait to sell more volumes.

>>157008640
>instead of constantly ignoring her ass?
He literally doesn't. The kid even noticed when her shirt had ruffles back in the first arc.

>>157005883
>I didn't think he'd pull a Naruto/Hinata
NaruHina was the best possible option, dipshit. If you are pinkshitfag then you are the minority on /a/.

But as far as Bleach is concerned IchiRuki was, and always has been, bromance tier. Orihime at least had a one sided interest since the beginning.

With these two’s relationship, I think there is no other relationship like them in other works where despite both standing in a very close position with each other it is not romance.

What do you even mean by that? Orihime never tried to make a move on the kid. The only time was in the FB arc and he shot her down because he was meeting with Ginjo and Orihime looks sad because she knows he's hiding something.

Pic-related more than shows that Ichigo pays attention to her.

Chapters later he kept chasing her and called her his girlfriend. Kishi said himself it's because of Sakura's feelings he didn't make NaruSaku endgame (and also because he never had the intention to)
I'm not a NaruSaku fag btw, I don't think Naruto is romantic material at all and he's got a pathetic dick according to Sai.

>>157005883
>Comparing this to naruhina
Narusaku was nothing more than a gag comedy routine in the pre-timeskip.

>>157007056
Because making characters was the only thing Kubo was really good at. Giving them things to do for more than two chapters however.

>>157008820
NaruSaku was built entirely on filler and not even relevant in the manga especially after the timeskip. Also Kubo has nothing to do with SasuSaku but If you meant Kishi then you're still wrong considering Sasuke didn't give a single fuck about Sakura for the majority of the manga.

Kishimoto gave as much a shit about romance as Kubo did.

>>157005730
You know, in the first 200 episodes of Bleach I watched I never really got the impression that there was anything romantic between Ichigo and Rukia.

Kubo was better at it. Ichihime and Renruki are a lot better than Naruhina and Sasusaku. Plus the kids are cuter.

>>157009115
Naruhina was built on fillers as well. Look at the manga series only and you don't get a lot of NaruHina development. But like I said NaruSaku was as a crackpair since the beginning. It just had, at least, shipping tease to please the shippers.
SasuSaku was hinted in part 1 with Sasuke softening and slowly opening up to her, and then Kishi went overboard with the revenge and revolution bullshit in part 2.

Was there ever a point where NaruSaku wasn't a gag built on anime filler? At least IchiRuki had a good friendship that was actually important to the story.

>>157009118
>episodes of Bleach
Manga is canon, anime isn't.

"What do you think the bond is that these two have with each other?

Kubo: It’s different from friendship but IT'S NOT A ROMANTIC FEELING either, these 2’s relationship. I think there is no other relationship like them in other works where despite both standing in a very close position with each other IT IS NOT ROMANCE (laughs).
But in this year’s movie there is a scene where Ichigo says Rukia is his “PRECIOUS NAKAMA” and I think THAT EXPLAINS THEIR RELATIONSHIP WELL."

In 3 different ways Kubo said it. Already 8 years ago. It's incredible the denial of the Ichiruki fandom. What you interpreted in the manga was you own wishful thinking. Anyone with a minimal brain could know where the manga was heading since Orihime's confession to Ichigo.

>>157008241
To be fair Ichirukifags were largely lied to by the countless anime filler, movies and merchandise pushing Ichiruki.

In the manga Ichigo knows Rukia for a couple months before her capture, a week after saving her, three days during the Arrancar invasion, a handful of hours in the entirety of the Hueco Mundo arc, a couple of minutes at the end of the arc, and less than an hour combined between all of the Fullbring and Thousand Year War arcs.

If you only read the manga it would be evident that besides their chemistry, which isn't even unique for Rukia and is also present with Renji and Ishida in a similar fashion, they were barely ever around one another past the first arc. But if you follow everything else, the fillers would have you believe that they were together all the time with "romantic" moments even, one of the movies was all about Ichiruki and the >stickers and other merchandise always show them together. Still their fault for falling for non-canon sources, but you can see where they're coming from.

>>157009118
That's surprising since the anime added a shit ton of Ichiruki filler.

>>157009221
In deed were Naruto and Hinata who non even had a friendship, it's impossible if they hardly interacted

I know this is bait, but still, kill yourself.

>>157009284
Kazui and Ichika are much cuter than Bolt and Sarada. No contest.

Also IH and RR are a lot better than NH and SS. IH and RR both had a relationship with each other before becoming canon; NH has little interaction in the manga while SS is just a trainwreck and continues to be a trainwreck since Sasuke literally fucked off when Sarada turned three which lead to that horrible Gaiden spin-off which just gave us baby mama drama.

>>157005730
>mock NaruSakufags relentlessly when their ship sunk
>then it happens to me
Welp that's Karma I guess.

>>157009247
To add to that, the Bleach anime is 45% filler, out of 370 episodes roughly 160 are filler and they all have their good share of Ichiruki moments.

>>157009330

Bleach turned to trash after Soul Society. The ending of that arc is the only valid conclusion to the series.

RR is a crime against God. Renji shouldn't even have been a character. He was the worst thing about Bleach. IH is just meh.

>NH has little interaction in the manga
Naruto and Hinata had a handful of important scenes together, and Hinata had an actual, compelling character arc based on her family situation, which Naruto helped her out with. Meanwhile, what do IH or RR have? Orihime likes Ichigo because they went to school together. Renji likes Rukia because they happened to grow up together. Liking each other for shallow reasons would be fine alone, but neither couple have any interesting moments or development together. Ichigo mostly ignored Orihime, except when he needed to save her, and all of Rukia's moments were with Ichigo, not Renji.

>>157009491
That is pretty funny.

>>157009539
It's not really arrogance. I saved a great deal of time by dropping Bleach when it turned shit, and everything I've heard of it since then just reconfirms that anyone who kept at it either has awful taste or is a complete masochist.

I don't think we ever find out when he exactly falls for her actually.

>Hinata had an actual, compelling character arc based on her family situation, which Naruto helped her out with.
Ichigo literally did the same with Hollow!Sora. He saved Orihime in the fourth chapter, and because of him she was able to apologize to older brother and tell him goodbye.

Completely disagree.

her relationship with them gets better, but it all happens off-screen.

after that, hinata completely revolves around naruto.

>>157009982
But those characteristics do exist, do they not? Hinata had so little screentime, that most of her paneltime was devoted to her being the romantic interest.

And no, her desire to improve herself was rooted in growing stronger as a person, not just standing by his side.

IH had a lot more than NH in the manga. They had an actually friendship between them, and read the same manga, and had the same group of friends, and she would bring him/his family bread from her job.

Naruto was always too busy to take some down time.

>>157009982
>so she can stand by his side
She wanted to be with him, but that's not really the reason she wanted to improve.

Hinata hated herself. She was weak and would get depressed easily. And knowing how easily she got depressed made her even more depressed.

>>157010042
>They're at the same level as IH
No.

Hinata and Naruto actually had important moments of character development together. All of Ichigo's character development comes around almost everyone but Orihime. Same with her.

>>157010042
>Still doesn't show in the actual manga a romantic resolution.
Why the fuck does it matter? It's a shonen, not a romance manga. The manga gave just enough indication that anybody who wasn't a pinkshitstan/NSfag or complete retard that NaruHina was the inevitable end-game. IchiHime was the exact same.

>>157010074
>It's you Bleachfaggots who can't have a thread without summoning Naruto fans with your dumb comparisons.

>>157010095
>IH had a lot more than NH in the manga
What the fuck are you talking about?

>They had an actually friendship between them
Ah ha ha, are you fucking serious? They're so distant that Orihime can't even handle being in his room after the timeskip. And Orihime isn't some shy wallflower like HInata was; she was supposed to be genki. It's a testament to how aloof Ichigo was around her.

>>157010129

Orihime's goal was to stand by his side on the battlefield which happened in the last arc.

>>157010149
All I'm doing is taking your bait. If you want the thread to die, feel free to stop replying. But no, Bleachfags have no threads on their own, because no one gives a shit about Bleach. Kubo dropped the ball and screwed things up beyond recognition.

>>157010153
I never cared about Bleach pairings, but even I know this is bullshit. Ichigo and Orihime had dozens of friendly, close interactions throughout the manga. I bet you're one of those retards that dropped the manga after SS and never touched it again, so you're stuck on a IR, despite it barely having in panel time afterwards.

>>157010173
And they both lost horribly. Her crowning moment was ultimately taken from her by Renji and Aizen. Ichigo should have married either or them.

>I bet you're one of those retards that dropped the manga after SS and never touched it again, so you're stuck on a IR, despite it barely having in panel time afterwards.
You rolled the dice and got a 1 on your bluff check. Rukia and Ichigo had moments every arc prior to the final one. Ichigo and Orihime had none, other than the stuff with her brother early on and Hollow Ichigo trying to save her. And even that is undercut by Actual Ichigo wanting to cut off his arm so his gay lover Ulquiorra wouldn't die.

>>157010153
>They're so distant that Orihime can't even handle being in his room after the timeskip
It had nothing to do with being distant dumbass since Ichigo states that she's been in his room before; it was because she was alone in the bedroom of the boy she's in love with, she was obviously going to get flustered.

>>157010042
But it's a gesture that Sasuke copied from his brother. It's a simple gesture of affection, the only ones who interpret it as romance are Sasusaku fans for obvious reasons.

>>157010218
If you think people are mad at Kubo over the pairings rather than the rest of the shit he pulled, you're a fat fanboy.

>>157010205
Renji didn't do anything. Kubo picked Renji to let us know that Renruki was happening since he got BTFO two seconds into battle. Only Aizen did something

Orihime at least got to fix his sword before he went to the final battle.

>>157010250
It showed they don't hang out together. They're not friends; they're acquaintances. Ichigo never gave a shit about her, outside her rescue arc.

>>157010270
And? Look at the context. He knows she loves him still and it's his answer to that second confession. SSfags may interpret it that way because that'so nly logical to think so based on context and their history. Their bond was never ambiguous as they were never friends or "confirmed" lovers, so that's his answer to her confession. "Let me redeem myself first and then I'll come back for you"

>They're not friends;
This tells me more than enough. If you can't even admit that Ichigo and Orihime are friends then no wonder canon Ichihime makes no sense to you.

>>157010345
of course you can interpret what you want.

But Sakura was the one who had to go after Sasuke. And Sasuke stayed away during a lot years, not even contacting his wife, not even kissing her. He is so in love

>>157010480
He reciprocated her feelings and made a family with her. The rest is fanwank my dude.

>>157010306
>Ichigo never gave a shit about her
he was ready to die for her like in the third or fourth chapter while fighting her hollow brother but okay.

>>157010426
Ichigo and Rukia were friends. Ichigo and Chad were friends. Ichigo and Inoue were acquaintances.

>>157010576
He was ready to die for everyone. All the heroes in Bleach were nobler-than-life to the point that you could barely distinguish them towards the end. One of the low points in the series is the Lost Agent Arc when everyone is lying to everyone else to protect them.

>Ishida lies to Ichigo to protect him.
>Ichigo lies to Orihime to protect her.
>Orihime lies to Ichigo right back to protect him.
Fuck that writing.

No, they were nakama; Ichigo even states this himself. Not that it matters since she's his wife now.

Holy shit, man. Just stop, please.
It Hurts

>>157010247
You're full of shit. You can't say they have no moments and be expected to be taken seriously.

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE SOUL KING

WHAT DID ICHIGO'S BANKAI ACTUALLY DO

WHAT DID AIZEN AND HIRAKO'S BANKAI DO

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>Bleachfags have no threads on their own
check the archive my guy. we were having fine threads when the first chapter of the narita novel was released.

>WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE SOUL KING
It'll be answered in this Narita novel.

anyone else think it was kinda fucked up how gaiden revealed that naruto was about to leave the village with sasuke until he told him not to? that still bothers me

You're retarded. KYS.

>>157005730
True, among Kubo's retarded writing decisions IchiHime was one at the very top. It was such a trainwreck. I guess Kubo was really fucked by the editors and in the storywriting is not his strongest skill, so I don't blame him too much, but the resulted stiry is such a cheap piece of crap it's ubelieveable

>>157010186
>because no one gives a shit about Bleach.
Pretty bold statement. It definitely isn't as popular as it use to be, but it didn't happen suddenly. The popularity drop happened after Aizens defeat. After that, the volumes stayed in either the 600/500/400k range and that's not bad at all.

>the final volume still sold well
>the previous novel sold more than "death save the strawberry" which is a novel that came out when bleach was on-going + more popular
>the narita novel will sell well once it gets a physical release
>the mobile game is popular
>live-action is happening

There is still an interest in Bleach. I'm looking forward to Kubo's upcoming interview.

I came here to post this >>157008433

Second chapter takes place in the Shiba residence with Orihime, Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Chad and Uryu. Rukia is a bit anxious. Backstory on the Shiba clan.
Confirms that Isshin is in fact Kuukaku, Kaien's uncle. The head of the household before Isshin and Kaien was once captain of the 10th squad, Isshin's brother, died 110 years ago to a mysterious illness which forced Isshin to take over his duties.
At the time the Shibas were still one of the great noble houses. Kuukaku was a member of the royal guard in the past. Her accomplishment was the invention and development of reiatsu sealing and amplification devices as well as discovering practical uses for seki-seki stones in processed form.
The Senkaimon as well as the RG shuttles to the palace were her inventions. She was banished from her post due to something she did. Not related to Aizen, Aizen is suspected to have snuck along with Urahara when he had an audience with the RG. The hougyoku was made with their cooperation and was meant to serve as a replacement for the king in the worst case, but was deemed too unstable. From here the convo derails to Aizen and Ichigo. Nothing new on Aizen.
Ichigo's powers have returned, the hollow/Ichigo's shinigami power was initially weakened after Yhwach drained him, but in the days after Yhwach's defeat Ichigo fully recovered.
There has been a change however. Although Zangetsu reverted to being two swords after Orihime rejected it breaking again, the smaller quincy sword remained identical to Ichigo's original shikai sword and the hollow sword is dormant.
Ichigo complains about now having to carry two big ass swords around. Ishida makes fun of him for it, saying it suits him for being such a meathead.
Back on track, Isshin sidesteps the question of why the Shibas were demoted and reveals that the Shiba family is now a vassal family to the Tsunayashiro and Kuukaku was engaged to the head's younger brother, before he vanished during the Rukongai disappearances 100 years ago.

>>157008948
they were right about everything

>>157008933
You're the reason why Naruto had a shit ending. Western fans who bandwagoned the Sakura hate train caused a forced romance with Hinata and as a result let Sasuke/Sakura happen which is completely against everything that happened in the story prior.

>>157008241
We believed the premise that Ichigo is a normal high-school kid (who just happens to see ghosts and shit)

Normal high-school kids are heterosexual and not such complete pussies when it comes to the opposite sex. Especially tough guys like Ichigo. So when the presumably normal teenager acts a certain way with the opposite sex and is constantly portrayed in such manner with them, it's rather normal to think that he has feelings for her. It's also normal to presume that the author knows this too. How could he not?

IchiHime shippers saw it from another angle - what Kubo intended as a writer, regardless if it made any sense or not.

I don't believe it

>>157009284
>>Let's not get crazy now. Even Kishimoto admits to baiting NS. NSfags are still retarded, though.
What does NaruSasu have to do with NaruSaku?

>>157016256
I'd love to see a flashback of Kukaku past. Sounds like pretty interesting stuff.

>>157016256

Aahahah, how the fuck is he goingto swing two giant ass two handed swords?

The only pair that I cared was Orihime and Ulquiorra. After Kubo kill it I don't even cared about pairs anymore. I really think that Ulquiorra had a better chemestry with Orihime than Ichigo actually.

>>157016355
The real reason is that they needed an excuse to keep Naruto's son relevant in the sequel despite him not having a tailed beast.
Introducing eyehax and weird Ootsutsuki chackras into the bloodline was the easiest way to accomplish that.

>>157016454
what... what?
The denial to admit that you was wrong is strong.

>>157018612
IchiHime was right because Kubo is autistic.

>>157018776
Kubo has been writing IchiHime since the pilot chapter. It was always going to be Ichihime

>>157008820
It was obvious SasuSaku was always the only/main romance of the manga. Kishi sperging over it in interviews and the seiyuu revealing he told them it was going to be endgame at their very first meeting shows he was actually putting effort into it. Hinata was given her trophy Naruto because Kishi felt bad for her and Kishi knew NaruSaku wasn't realistic because Sakura not loving Sasuke is OOC and Kish is a huge Sakurafag despite Hinatashitters screeching at him about their cowtit waifu.

>>157009054
Naruto's feelings for Sakura were always treated as comic relief though, the only semi-serious scene was the promise he made to her but that had everything to do with Sasuke for both of them and later Naruto stopped giving a shit about it and cared more about Sasuke anyway.
