Bleach

Just pretend they NTR their partners. It's even better

The only good thing that came from reading this trainwreck to completion was the bitterness from Ichiruki fags

>>161313459
How didn't you see it coming? She had almost no panel time in the second half of the manga when it came to Ichigo.

>>161314553
I was immersed in the manga, not in the meta.

Well, I was pretty hopeless even at the beginning of the last arc, but that doesn't make it any better.

They both had so much more reason to love each other instead of their canon spouses. But Kubo wanted to be a hipster about it.

I'll take false flag thread for $500, Alex

Just because I'm a romantic doesn't make stupid

Second half, more like an entire 2/3 of the manga. After she shows off her Shikai, she's pretty much done screentime wise for the rest of the series

>>161317164
It doesn't, but it doesn't stop me from complaining either.

>>161314697
Rukia was unhealthy for Ichigo.

I think if you ever thought Ichiruki was happening your fucking dumb, but I wouldn't exactly say Rukia was unhealthy for Ichigo either. I guess if she constantly had to go back and kick the crybaby out of him that would seem unhealthy, so I'm glad that never happened in the final arc like some Irfags wanted.

>>161317616
No she wasn't but they were just friends

Not that anon, but I don't think she's unhealthy for him. It's just that their relationship felt way too much like a mentor/student one most of the time, and their whole bickering skit became boring for me after a certain point. It didn't help that their interactions always followed the same formula after the first arc

>ichigo is down
>rukia uses her tough love by hitting and yelling
>gives him some speech

and that was basically it, I mean this was literally what happened in the Fullbringer arc since Kubo didsn't bother to show them interact after she gave him his powers.

Dropped it after SS because of that.
I fully expected there to be at least some kind of romantic scene you know, after he risked his life trying to save a [beautiful mysterious girl who magically entered his life] who lived in his closet for weeks.
I haven't even rewatched but I remember this closing scene of the arc being a big fat nothing so bad I was completely turned off from watching it ever again.
I haven't been mad about it in years, and never will be again.

he risked his life for orihime by fighting her hollow brother much earlier in the series. why do people act like rukia was the first person he ever risked his life for?

>>161318830
Holy shit dude it was just an episodic nothing villain who happened to be connected to the cast.
As opposed to an entire fucking arc dedicated to saving the girl.
I told you I dropped it after the SS arc because it was clear Kubo was a fucking hack.

>I told you I dropped it after the SS arc
then you wouldn't know that there was also an entire arc dedicated to ichigo saving orihime.

>>161319338
You're right, I didn't know that.
And I don't care.
And it has nothing to do with what I'm saying.

>>161319338
Not him, but I think the problem was that, that Kubo had to almost copy/paste a rescue arc for Orihime. He should have found another way to try to make Ichigo and Orihime's relationship feel more organic without forcing this shit, which he failed anyway.

>Ichiruki fans still eternally buttmad
B-but Kaien! Chapter 686!

>>161313549
This does make me feel better

>>161319500
>without forcing this shit
I don't think he forced it. Kubo already established that Ichigo and Orihime had their own relationship since they had their fair share of moments before her arc really started.

>>161319518
I still don't get what Kaien had to do with anything.

>>161319631
>Kubo already established that Ichigo and Orihime had their own relationship since they had their fair share of moments before her arc really started.
The point is that Kubo didn't have to recycle the SS with a Spaniard/Mexican knock-off and make her take the exact same role Rukia had in the previous arc.

>>161320052
I like the HM arc. I just wish Kubo didn't drop the plot of Orihime trying to destroy the hogyoku since it would've made her role different than Rukia's in the SS arc.

>>161319747
Ichigo.

Did Ishida end up with anyone? I can't remember.

>>161321577
Nope. He became a doctor in the end, and that's it. Only canon couples were Ichigo/Orihime and Renji/Rukia.

The Bleach anime staff likes the Femritter. Masashi Kudo has drawn an image of them.

>>161321655
Where did Kudo state that the staff loved them? Why do people put words into his mouth?

>>161320947
Rukia using Ichigo as a stand-in because she couldn't have Kaien is a sign of true love, apparently.

>>161321577
I actually thought back in SS that they were going to be a thing.

>>161322031
Seriously? Orihime was constantly worrying over Ichigo during that arc, and even had that moment with him after he defeated Byakuya.

>>161321655
Candice's candices were not that big in the manga.

>>161321812
Why would he draw manga characters he doesn't like? It's not farfetched to assume that he drew characters he likes.

>>161313459
You should of seen it coming once since ichigo was crying like a soft bitch in front of her

>>161322273
You said anime staff when it was only Kudo that drew them, that's why.

Announcement soon.

>>161324739
It's ultimately up to Shueisha and Kubo. I wonder if Kubo would ok removing the canon pairings and kids since Kudo is a huge Ichirukifag, or if he would put his foot down. The beginning of the anime cut/twisted Orihime/Ichihime scenes, but then stopped and just added Ichiruki filler instead so I wonder if the whole twisting and changing stopped because of Kubo saying something.

>>161320947

Ichirukis think Rukia was in love with Kaien, since it's been noted by Byakuya how Ichigo is similar to Kaien and that's the reason why Rukia was helping him, they think that means she loves Ichigo like she did Kaien.

Retards.

Anyway every time I see a Kaien-Rukia panel posted on Twitter by nips, it always seems to be about renruki, they say Rukia envied what Kaien and his waifu had because she's reminded that this is what she wanted with Renji, which makes more sense than this "I'm jealous of muh Kaien's waifu" nonsense.

I'm still mad at Kubo. I was waiting for Turn back to Pendelum 2 all years and i got nothing. I still think TBTP is best arc of bleach.

>>161313459
Don't worry, when the anime comes back Studio Perriot will save us from Kubo's ending.

Nah the kids meeting was the main focus of the final chapter.

Too bad they're happily married and have a cute daughter who's name means "happy family". Just take this loss anon.

>>161313459
What was Kubo thinking not making this happen?

>>161326721
He made the right choice with the endgame pairings. Kubo stated that the relationship between Ichigo and Rukia was not romantic so to have them end up together would just be retconning what he said. Also their relationship was completely zero-sided whereas with Ichihime and Renruki it was one-sided.

>>161326721
he was thinking that those were the pairings he wanted. if ichiruki happened it would have been to make the fans happy and thats it. at least with ichihime and renruki you know its because he personally wanted them to be together

I wonder if Orihime will have more than just one kid.

>>161323138

Of course since she had an older brother herself, and Ichigo has two younger sisters. They seem like the type of couple to have a big family, it's just Ichigo loves tit-fucking her too much.

Rukifags are like the Asukafags of this series.

Thinking Ichigo will be into their girl when it's clear he prefers wincest.

And Rukia has literally nothing going for her considering Asuka was at the very least attractive.
