Ichigo and Rukia? or Ichigo and Orihime?

[Lotiman]

Ichigo and Rukia is quite match but they are from 2 different world. Ichigo is a human after all. Ichigo and Orihime or Taki might be a bit compatible.

[Rainbow Candy]

nah...i still think ichigo x rukia all the way they are are cuter couple

[kurapica11001]

ya a agree with rainbow candy ^_^ rukia x ichigo would make a better and cuter couple ^_^

[diekirai]

i've been ichiruki fangirl since ep1 just way they interact has chemistry
and as already mentioned by some, i can't see ichihime anyway but brother to sister relationship.

i support ichigo x rukia, but i want orihime to be happy
oh and... latest ED gives tons of ichiruki vibes -loves the ED-

LOL......rukia is man?!?!?! that would one pretty cute lookin man........

besides, lots of popular anime series have somewhat love story(ies) woven in between the plot. samurai x, FMA, elfen lied, etc are some of the examples. looking from what I've watched and read so far, i dont think any of these pairings will go anywhere. seems like ichigo is too busy training to face endless wave of new enemies. I think the manga seems to lean toward rukia.

[TwilightHack]

I still support Ichigo x Orihime.

We see hints of it here and there especially in the current arc... but the main problem is that Kubo hasn't given them enough time together to let it develop properly.

I'd expect to see more IxO with the current twists of events.

[cuteayumi]

hmmm i think dat rukia and ichigo make a cuter couple.....i dunno they r like a puzzle dat fits perfectly

[Searcher]

Personally i am an Ichigo x Orihime fan. But since we are watching fillers, there will be no improvement in any personal relationships.
We just have to wait untill the fillers are over, which i hope will be very soon.
Because ichigo is getting on mine nerve, the fillers are all about him. Getting pretty bored by now.

Thats not true...

Spoiler:

In the manga it shows that his dad is a shinigami

I dont know.. I like both pairings

[forbidden1four56]

Maybe in a perfect world ichigo and rukia would end up together, but it seems there are too many obstacles, such as despite being a death god still having a human body. So it seems like it will be ichigo and orihime and.....rukia and renji. I like the idea with ichigo ending up with either one though, i'd probably prefer he ended up with rukia, but that's probably not gonna happen.

[off_duty_naruto]

man.... most of u guys are making me depressed...

SPOILERS =

Sorry, just joined today soo ya... Anyways I am a huge Inoue x Ichigo fan!! used to be passive with their relationship until MANGA CHAPTER 199 or 200 or so (somewhere around there) where (MAKE SURE YOUR NOT READING THIS IF YOU STRICTLY WATCH ANIME ONLY)

Spoiler for manga:

Inoue confesses to liking Ichigo with Matsumoto... Man, talk about poor girl...... She desirves him, but Ichigo is really dumb in the head and it will take some time for him to.... "comprehend" her obvious reactions and looks she gives him..... This current chapter BLEACH CHAPTER 237 is a very depressing one..... its been bothering me all day!! but it currently ripped it out of me (INOUE x ICHIGO feelings)

so ya, im going with Inoue x Ichigo. ALL the way baby!!

But on the other hand... Ichigo Rukia is.... allright... i really believe it hit it's dead end and is nuthing more that a VERY VERY VERY close relationship.... But it is highly possible and if it does happen, I will feel really depressed, but accept it....

ICHIGO x INOUE ALL THE WAY!!!!

Here's how to use the spoiler tags.

Just get rid of the space between the brackets.

[off_duty_naruto]

thank ya man, that'll help in the future!

[rabchil]

ichigo and rukia for me. ichigo and orihime combination is just weird.

[Searcher]

Ichigo x Orihime weird , atleast those 2 have a different personalities.

Ichigo x rukia, they have the same personalities, might just as well melt those together into a new person "Ichia".

[Vibeke]

Ok, so for me it's definetly IchigoxInoue

Why not IchigoxRukia? Because they just awesomly good friends, only FRIENDS. Yes, they have very good relationship, they can talk with each other about everything and they can understand each other without words. But those are very often the signs of good friendship. And also, even if Rukia liked Ichigo a little more than a friend, I think Ichigo couldn't be with her - simply beacus she is a precious firend to him.

Now for the IchigoxInoue
Yes, they are too very good friends, but in this friendship there's something more (yup especially from Inoue side -> ch237 ). This pairing has bigger potential(of course in my opinion ^^).
Many of you say that they have different personalities (wheras the personalities of Rukia & Ichigo are nearly the same) - but this is what you need for a good couple: Different personalities NOT the SAME.
When people have different pers. they can fill each other with different emotions, reactions etc, wheras the same pers. will always be fighting with each other.


Ok, so much from me I hope that my explenation and english isn't too bad

Spoiler for manga chapter 237:

:\ i donno. despite chapter 237, despite what you all said,
i still think ichigo and rukia is better.
and chapter 237 is really more of showing orihime's love not ichigo's.
different people think differently about how "relationships" should work.
but in manga/anime, when one female/male character can have a really large effect on another male/female character, then it's most likely to happen that they will end up together. the "care" they have for each other may not be underlined specifically or obviously, but nevertheless readers/watchers will feel that this "care" is more than "just friends". it's all in the mood portrayed in the story. the things they say. the pauses in between lines. you know, subtle, cute things like that. then when readers/watchers are wondering,"do they like each other or what?" all of a sudden the scenes break and change into "arguing" or "bickering" mode, swaying about 50% readers/watchers off into "nah, can't be love".
yes, stereotypical. yes, cliche. but that's just how it is.
so that being said, i still believe in ichigo x rukia.
although i'm more of a gin x rangiku fan.

Spoiler for manga chapter 237:

Well, Kubo has the final say. Hmm, regarding chapt 237, I guess that we haf to depend on the future chapts (maybe 238 or sth), when ichigo wakes up n "remember bery vaguely of orihime's visit" We shall c ichigo's reaction n action then.

If he looks as though "Orihime is a fren... I muz rescue her!!" >> then i guess Ichigo n Rukia possibility will be higher?

or... "Orhime...oh, baka me??! I din realise that she likes me" then Matsumoto comes and knocks some sense into him, "yea yea...now then u realise it, huh?"


I guess that will be when Kubo will hint to the part where Ichigo will pair up with who?? If this is a typical kind of shonen manga, I guess that being cliche, the main character will end up with some ger?? esp it's a hero somemore?? LOLz. There's a chinese saying, literally mean "Hero will go with a Beauty" We shall c who is the beauty soon...hopefully. :X unless.... Kubo doesn't want too much relationship involved in this series? O_o

Going by your experience then in the anime it would be ichigo x rukia, because we have seen nothing else.

In the manga i don't know, don't read them, i have to trust other people who read a lot of manga.
They can probally guess what will happen, but i do hope for some great plottwist, otherwise it will get boring.
I just cann't picture ichigo and rukia getting romantic together, since they won't open up.
They will probally glare at each other and then walk away. Bo-ring!
