Bleach/Headscratchers/Orihime: Difference between revisions

*** The uniform changing isn't what's strange. It would be natural for Orihime to still be wearing her third uniform<ref>I count four uniforms in the series. 1)The first uniform at the beginning of the series- apparently the winter one- which has a gray jacket over the standard uniform. 2)The one that debuts in the Kon arc, and just has the standard shirt, neckwear and shorts/skirt. 3)The one that debuts after the fight with Grimmjow's Fracciones, which has the aforementioned sleeveless sweater. 4)The one Orihime is wearing just before going back to the real world and being kidnapped, with the long-sleeved sweater</ref> having not had the opportunity to go back to get other clothes. What's strange is she apparently went back at some point, got the fourth uniform and continued wearing it even when not required to do so (if she hadn't had it already brought it along).

 

** I always figured that she was the type who didn't really need him to love her back, just being his friend and loving him was enough for her. I just get that impression since her jealousy issues actually had nothing to do with romance, just her inferiority complex. Besides, the ball is in Ichigo's court, he needs to make it clear to the audience he has feelings for Orihime before the romance thing can be resolved. Probably.

*** That's probably true, but it's a bit frustrating to see Ichigo leave without even saying anything to Orihime, who had been the person whom he came to Hueco Mundo to save, or even any follow-up on his going into "super-hollow" mode to save Orihime; if Kubo introduces that Orihime has feelings for Ichigo, he should have some resolution to them, whether they decide to remain friends or if she falls in love with him. It also bugs me that Ichigo rarely thinks about Orihime except for when she's kidnapped, and nearly all of their encounters have been initiated by Orihime (except for the one time in the Arrancar arc where Rukia dragged Ichigo before her), which shows that his feelings toward her haven't changed much over time. It makes one wonder when or if Orihime will get any closer to Ichigo, given the number of missed opportunities and slow development, and it's disheartening to see that nothing appears to be happening between them.
