Why do Ichihime fans have such a massive double standard where they treat Rukia like an abusive monster and praise Orihime as a sweet, innocent angel who can do no wrong?I

It’s just how they are, you should get used to it. Renji being violent with Rukia (for real)? “Nnnoooo, you can’t compare, it was obvious it was true love and they were going to end together bouhouhou 😭”. Rukia cheering up Ichigo in her way (it’s comic relief)? “Rukia is such an asshole, she’s beating up Ichigo, why IR can’t see she’s violent?”

I think I already answered to that in other posts and I keep saying it every time anyway, but yes, the ichihime fanbase is very, very toxic. They insult you (“retarded” being their favorite insult), they are rude, and mock you when you dare voicing your opinion (“You only watched the anime” “IchiRuki are just friends/siblings” blablabla, their usual nonsense).

No, I don’t think it’s just you.

To be honest, I’m annoyed with RukiHime. I love Rukia very much, but I… never understand why her “bond” with Inoue was so… highlighted compared to others?

Like, what did Inoue really do for Rukia? She didn’t go to the Soul Society to save her (only Ichigo and Uryū did), but to protect Ichigo. She was always jealous of Rukia, and never talked about it with her. She didn’t really feel concern for Rukia in Hueco Mundo (okay, she cried for her, once. I’m glad there’s that at least, because otherwise we were shown no sign of Ori caring for Rukia).

Seriously. Was there a single moment when Orihime really did something meaningful/sacrificed something for Rukia’s sake?

Yet, Kubo keeps shoving that lame and unilateral friendship in our mouths.

I want to see Rukia’s friendship with Chad. I want to see Rukia’s friendship with Uryū, the first who tried to save her when Byakuya and Renji came to bring her back to SS, the one who created a dress just for her.

Or are you telling me Chad and Uryū count for nuts?

Orihime’s obsession for Ichigo is a pain, because she always choses Ichigo over her friends (She goes to the SS for Ichigo, not Rukia. She says her last goodbyes to Ichigo, not Tatsuki. See what I mean?).

Well, it’s almost like the same thing is happening with Rukia. Kubo always makes her interact only with Ori, to the detriment of the other bonds she has with the group (especially Uryū and Chad). It’s super, super, super annoying. Rukia on a chapter cover naked with Ori, Rukia cheering up Ori during the Arrancar arc, Rukia telling Ori first about her wedding. Really?! Instead of Ichigo? There wouldn’t even be a wedding without him? And Ori wouldn’t even know Rukia??

I don’t care at all about RukiHime, it’s unhealthy, it’s one-sided. Give us ChadRuki (or RukiChad? Idk), give us IshiRuki! Rukia has bonds with the boys that NEED to be developped.

Uh, so, I digressed a bit, didn’t I? But I think the whole “Rukia running to Inoue instead of Ichigo” is just Kubo trying to push his RukiHime agenda (“Look! They’re so great together!” Uh… no 🙄🫩). I wonder if Rukia would have acted the same if it had been Chad or Uryū? Who knows. But it was Inoue so of course, she had to cheer the poor baby up 😮‍💨.

No it should’ve been Rukia Not Orihime 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

🤷🏻‍♀️

What to say, except that it’s the new anime desperately trying to push the IchiHime agenda. Once again, Ichigo doesn’t really pay Inoue much attention, and protects her like he would have protected Chad or Uryū if they have been in her place.

Anti ichi-Ruki state there’s a huge age gap between Ichigo and Rukia, but although the latter also state she’s older than Ichigo, it’s also clear she behaves like a teenager, not an adult. The aging of shinigami is really weird anyway in general. So I don’t know why antis are so bothered by a theoritical age difference. You have many couples with a huge age difference in various fandoms (Edward & Bella from Twilight, Arwen & Aragorn from The Lord Of The Rings), so it’s not like a relationship between a mortal and non-mortal being are anything new.

And as you said, yes, there’s IsshiMasa to refute the age argument anyway, Ichigo’s own parents. Ichihimey will say “But they got together when they were adults!” Yes, well, no IchiRuki to my knowledge ever demanded for Ichi to start dating Rukia and doing mature things with her when he’s still a minor… But apparently, that’s what hardcore IH and Inoue fans believe 🫩.

Hello, anon!

Yeah, Orihime’s breasts are… really a problematic topic. Orihime (and others characters in Bleach, such as Rangiku, Yoruichi, Harribel) were always sexualized, with Inoue suffering from this a little more, I would say, because she was one of the main characters.

(She isn’t really sexualized in the first picture, it’s more the term “luscious anatomical impediments”???!!! What do you mean, talking about a 14/15 years-old like that?!

Also, I had already used the last image (although the background was different) in a previous post, but I’m putting it here again, because 🤢. That swimsuit doesn’t fits nor suits her, it’s almost somebody other than Inoue at that point.)

(Putting that scene too that I had already used in the same previous post. Chizuru is like the only lesbian teenager in the show (unless I’m mistaken), and rather than using her in an interesting way, Kubo makes her act weird… just to show Orihime’s breasts are huge *sigh*).

So yeah, the problem with Inoue’s chest was present since the beginning of the series, yet, hardcore Ori fans will get upset when you point out her sexualization (“You’re just angry for her TYBW outfit, but she was never sexualized in the show apart from that!” First, one time is already too much; second, yes she was. She was sexualized plenty of times and you’re just an idiot if you pretend it isn’t the case).

I agree with you on the fact Orihime was better in early Bleach. Most people seemed to enjoy Orihime in the Soul Society arc, and agree to say her character really took a nosedive in every aspect starting from the Arrancar arc, which is quite my feeling too.

Damn, can someone please explain to me why renrki and ichihme shippers are so goddamn insecure about their CANON ships???

Bwahaha, they are so insecure, oh my god. They can’t think about their fave or their ship without thinking about Ichiruki, this is so funny.

Of course they were gonna use the ending to justify their ship is canon. But in the end, they have nothing. I just ignore them, but this is very funny to see they kept being mad at IchiRuki, because they know how strong is their bond, while Ichihime has nothing, hihi. Ichigo’s happiest moment wasn’t even marrying Ori or having a kid with her.

Ah ah, no, I don’t think so.

Good question.

I heard that some IchiRuki shippers were being rude to Ichihime shippers in 2016, back when the manga was still running, so I guess they are more or less taking their revenge.

Also, most IchiRuki stans left the fandom after the lame ending of Bleach, because they were disappointed. The only ones who stayed were those who have their canon ending (because nothing else really interested them in the end: the plot holes, the Sokyoku being rebuilt, Chad becoming a boxer… It was fine as long as Ori got her happy ending and married Ichi), that is to say Ichihime fans. They had no one to contradict them, and could brainwash the people who started Bleach with their: “It’s the anime/Studio Pierrot/Abe’s fault”, “Ichihime/Renruki was planned from the start” propaganda.

Fork found in kitchen, ah ah.

Ichihime/Renruki fans are very toxic and have an obsession to act as the canon police. If you don’t say “Amen” to the canon ships (and more largely to everything Kubo did), you’re obviously an idiot (and I’m staying polite here because they are so much ruder than that) who don’t understand anything.

The age gap argument doesn’t even work because Ichigo’s parents themselves are the counterproof to it.

“Oh my god, they’re dating”/“Ichihime flirting in front of their friends!” and it’s just Ichigo smiling politely at Inoue 😂. I swear Ichihime are very quick to forget Ori wasn’t the only one Ichigo smiled to in an ending (Uryū in “Aoi Tori”, for instance), and are even quicker to forget Ichigo’s happiest moment wasn’t when he dated Ori (they even broke up at uni once LMAO), wasn’t when he married her, wasn’t when he got the hellspawn (who, congratulations, is probably responsible of the mess happening in the Hell arc), no. It was when he started bickering with RUKIA when meeting her again ten years after they got their separate ways).

Why does it look like when Orihime hugs or clings onto Ichigo looks like he's thinking about Rukia?

Hmm, I wouldn’t say he is thinking about Rukia, but I think I see what you mean: he’s completely indifferent to Orihime. Every time.

In the first scene, Inoue fainted after having healed Ichigo’s wounds. As a reminder, the first thing Ichigo did when he woke up was to scream Uryū’s name. At that point, I think he’s still thinking of his fight with Uryū and being upset he couldn’t bring back his friend (especially as Chad asks: “So Uryū really betrayed us?). Maybe he was hoping to get to Rukia too. In any case, he didn’t give Ori the slightest attention, and didn’t thank her for her healing. Which clearly proves she’s no more special than his other friends.

(I love how the TYBW keep pushing the Ichihime agenda, but all the Ichihime scenes are so lame , with Hime craving for Ichi, and Ichi always making a cardboard face or not paying attention to her lmao).

The other scene is from the Hell movie, I think? There again, Ichigo wasn’t thinking about Inoue, but about his friends (Uryū, Rukia and Renji if I remember correctly) who needed his help because they were trapped in Hell. And Yuzu had been on the verge of death not long ago if I’m not mistaken.

Ichigo had more chemistry with Rukia, and many other Bleach fans think that they should've ended up together.

Having the same hair color doesn’t make you siblings, though I definitely agree Ichigo and Orihime give off the "siblings” vibe, just like Renji and Rukia do, honestly.

Why do IH and RR shippers believe these two scenes mean Ichi and Ruki are shippers of their canon ships?

You sent me the same ask two times, so I’m answering the latest, which I assume to be this one.

Uh, good question.

-In the first picture, Ichigo is about to send Rukia to Renji, but I don’t know why some people automatically assume Ichigo is shipping Rukia with Renji by doing that. To me it’s OBVIOUS it was purely comic relief (OG Bleach was so good for this honestly), and nothing else. Ichigo knew he would have to fight capitains like Byakuya so that Renji and Rukia could flee, and well, you definitely can’t fight while holding somebody in your arms??? It’s logical, nothing to do with shipping.

Also, Renji just happened to be there at the right time. Ichigo had already fought him and knew he was “on their side” now. This is why he entrusted Rukia to Renji: apart from Renji, the capitains and lieutenants were all ennemies (except Kyoraku and Jūshiro who had more or less planned something to save Rukia, but Ichigo didn’t knew that). It was the practical and sensible thing to do. I don’t understand what this scene has to do with shopping.

-In the second picture, it’s Rukia making Ichigo apology to Orihime. I think what Ichihime shippers love about that scene mainly is Ichigo saying right after he’ll definitely protect her. So IchiHimey stans are probably like: “OMG, je vowed to protect Orihime! Peak romance OMG”. They conveniently forget protecting is just how Ichigo is, and he will do this with everyone! Not just Orihime!

But Orihime being weak, she needs more protecting (unlike Uryū or Rukia who can handle themselves in a battle for instance), because she isn’t fit for battlefield, as stated by Uryū, Urahara and Renji. Ichigo clearly sees her as his little sister of sorts, like Yūzū and Karin. That’s all. But I repeat, Ichigo wants to protect EVERYONE, that’s in his name. It just happened that Orihime got hurt, but if it had been any of his other friends, he would have vowed to protect them all the same. Inoue isn’t special in that regard.

Unohana and the Fourth division exist.

Shinigami can take care of wounds (like Rukia did with Uryū during the Fullbring arc, before the Ichiishi fight against Gingō, even if it was off-screen). Uryū was also shown to have used first-aid kit on Orihime when they got separated from the group during the Soul Society arc.

Witout Uryū, Orihime would have been killed by Jidanbō during the Soul Society arc. Also without Uryū, Ichigo wouldn’t have known about shinigami ribbons being red and would have turned into a Hollow during Urahara’s training. And without Rukia, there wouldn’t have been Bleach at all. Orihime is not the only character whose absence would have led to people dying. Not everyone owes Inoue his life.

Inoue was essentially healing her friends, she didn’t heal all of the Bleach cast. Unlike Sakura who saved many lives as a medic during the Fourth Great Ninja War in Naruto, Orihime never stayed with the Fourth Division during the Blood War while many shinigami would have benefited from her healing powers.

Its??? Her??? Job??? I mean, she never attacks in the show because she’s a pacifist, so what would be the point of her being in the team if she wasn’t even able to heal? She would just be completely useless. Are you applauding your doctor every time he heals you? No, because that’s what doctors are for. Well, that’s the same thing for Inoue. And she didn’t even study (like Sakura or real-life doctors) to gain those powers.

Screw Renji and his 180 personality change.
