Bleach ch 237: Did Bleach just make me wibble?

[meganbmoore]

I think it did.  I DO NOT READ BLEACH FOR WIBBLING!!!!  But I did anyway.

And I don't even ship them(or anything in Bleach, for that matter...)

(I would just like to interject here: Orihime: YOU. ARE. AN. IDIOT.)

I've always seen it as full out crushing on her side, but completely platonic on his side(hence, no shipping), so the scene made sense to me. There does seem to be more to it than feels right in Bleach, but it still makes me wibble.

Actually, I half wonder if Tite Kubo was told to put something canon in there.

That would be curious.. I don't read much shonen but I guess those also need their obligatory romances. So maybe he thought, "Who would people want to see most with Ichigo? Orihime maybe? Um, why not!"

Btw, major fucking icon love. That sums up my #1 frustration with Bleach right there.

Posibly. Most shonen has canon pairings, either major or background(or both.) In this case, though, it may just be because Orihime's crush on Ichigo has been made blatantly apparent at various times(though mostly early on) and no other crushing or liking has been as canon. I'll be rather annoyed, though, if Ichigo suddenly starts acting like they're a thing, as he'sd never shown that kind of interest in her before(or in anyone, really.)

This icon is largely spawned by the fact that only extras died throughout the entire Soul Society storyline despite multiple skewerings, and the Rukia one I've been using a lot lately is because she always looks normal sized, until drawn next to Ichigo, Renji or Byakuya, when she looks like a midget.

I wonder if somebody will honest to god just DIE in the new arc.. I somehow doubt anybody will. Bleach seems to have a track record of nobody dying, EVER (except pre-canon like Ichigo's mom or Rukia's real bro).

Probably not. It's actually normal for shonen of Bleach's variety, though most do at least kill off a few more mentors, extras and villains. (Bleach has offed a few of those varieties)
