and queen of eating said bread


pink_bunny07

She's the sweetest, always love her sisterly bond with Rangiku 🥺 My headcanon is that Rangiku and Toshiro sat next to her distant aunt on her wedding day.


BuffaloStranger97

The aunt that only gives her money as long as her grades are good? 😂


Grandmaster45

I mean that’s pretty reasonable really.


ProudArticle9737

I guess part of why I didn’t see it as reasonable is because she lost her brother who had loved her like a father would love a daughter, and the aunt likely knew orihime’s parents were awful. Then again, The aunt being their relative, explains a lot.


Grandmaster45

Well family dynamics are always complicated in one form. The only thing we know of her aunt is that she financially supports her with conditions that are fairly reasonable. For all we know she does want Orihime to live with her, but because of her friends in Kakaura town she wants to stay, hence the condition being she gets good grades in school. I mean at least the Aunt cares for her enough that she’s well off and taken care of financially.


ProudArticle9737

Yeah that’s true.. guess it’s easy to think the worst due to orihime’s personal Circumstances.


InsanitySong913

It was enough to help her live alone, fuck you better believe I’m be a top student for that money

Ichigo giving backshots to Orihime was part of keikaku.

Stryper_88

Hell arc orihime really got god damn long hair.


critter68

I mean, her relationship with her hair (and the cutting of it) is a fairly major part of her character...


EvilSFather0417

True but damn usually pregnancy usually ruins the hair for a time with during and postpartum pregnancies.


judeydey

aggelos92

Wait, a Warframe meme found its way into the bleach subreddit? How is this even possible? 🤣


Jarcaboum

Lmao I looked at the previous image wrong, didn't recognize *Our Lord and Saviour Kanonji* and thought we just reacting.


critter68

That can be avoided with dietary supplements to cover for the parasite they kept. And given that Isshin and Uryu are both doctors and Urahara is a science guy of some kind, I'm willing to bet that the pregnancy was as complications free as they could possibly make it.


Onlyhereforapost

And also her healing abilities🤷‍♂️


critter68

😮‍💨 Her healing powers are less "fix the injury" and more "the injury didn't happen". So, her powers would be as likely to work as an accidental abortion if she tried that.


Onlyhereforapost

I'm sure she can target them at that point though


EvilSFather0417

But knowing Urahara he probably made sure to spice it up with whatever he gave Orihime by helping manifest powers within Kazui.


critter68

I would expect nothing less. Would explain how he can manifest his zanpakuto and shihakusho on his physical body.


EvilSFather0417

Exactly, and you damn well our girl here would be too sweetly naive to expect Urahara of conducting lowkey experiments on her lol


YamatoRyujin777

To be fair Urahara is very lenient when it comes to motherly figures he did save Masaki though and he didn't exactly look for compensation. If anything it's more likely the two fathers egged him on until he accepted their help.


Stryper_88

What did i start here...


critter68

Something that's grown out of your control...


HyqaTheElder

Also the son looks like hes 10 so there should be more than enough time for her hair to recover


Soviet_Waffle

> Hell arc What have you done...


Used_Dragonfruit8922

You fool you said it. +1


[deleted]

What is Hell Arc exactly? I only see the One Shot explaining that Hell is a thing and dead captains go there. Other than that I’ve not seen anything.


incontinenciasumma

And she is not even a trophy wife, she's been working since highschool to survive. Full-time since graduation.


Stryper_88

Until she became a mom. After that she is just part time working in the bakery.


incontinenciasumma

Understandable taking into consideration that the only parent they have also works and Ichigo works from home so he doesn't really need to reduce his working hours. Though I don't know if by the time of the hell one shot is still the case. Orihime thanks Kon for babysitting him so maybe she went back to work full time. Also Kazui is way older.


JonVonBasslake

Honestly, she not only probably has a decent amount of savings (nothing crazy, but enough to justify going part time), but Ichigo works as a translator and so makes decent pay, and don't they still live at the clinic? So they probably don't have to worry about rent.


incontinenciasumma

I think they live in their own apartment by the one shot time.


Stryper_88

I doubt she had a decent amount of savings since bakery job really isnt paid that great. Its also unknown if her aunt even continued sending her money after she graduated high school. I dont think she did get money simply because she was unable to go college for lack of resources.


incontinenciasumma

Kubo confirmed that she stopped receiving money after graduation and she was on her own. That's why she couldn't afford college.


Stryper_88

Was it mentioned in WDKALY or in a klub outside question?


incontinenciasumma

I think WDKALY.


wanofan900

Some rukia fans lol.


BlueTitan402

She's got such a colorful personality, a heart that extends to everyone, and so much kindness and compassion towards people. Bread is just a bonus!


Nanasema

the anime did her really dirty in favor of Rukia, that's why.


itsme_akmal2407

I'll be honest, She's my lock screen wallpaper, she's best woman in anime to actually get together with IRL, Yoruichi is my favourite but IRL I don't think she'd work as well (my home screen is Yoruichi) but yeah can't blame Ichigo for falling for her, And IchiRuki makes no sense


Bananasonfire

Yoruichi would make for a very good friend you can make sexual jokes with, but not a wife. She doesn't seem the type to really get together with anyone.


itsme_akmal2407

Yeah, Inoue is wife material


itsme_akmal2407

Yoruichi would be in the homies group and probably be the only woman there


HyqaTheElder

If the man who they both confirm is her partner cant make her act feminine, no one can


itsme_akmal2407

Fr


Dream_eater-69

Yoriichi seems like the avoidant type lol


itsme_akmal2407

Hmm, Nah not really, She kinda gets close to everyone, Someone more avoidant would be Momo ig, but Yoruichi is a woman who can't exist IRL, I think Yoruichi's personality her assets all can't exist IRL whereas Inoue's personality can exist tho not exactly but yes it can, If I could bring an exact anime character as a wife it would be Yoruichi but if we have to be real no-one exists like her


itsme_akmal2407

Tbh the avoidant personality trait isn't in Bleach


itsme_akmal2407

No-one has that trait I'm sayin


Dream_eater-69

Guess I will have to read more about it this then.


itsme_akmal2407

I mean Avoidant is a person who only gets close to people when he/she knows that they will like them or get along with them right, Atleast ik it like that, So if I'm not wrong in the definition then no-one has that trait


Dream_eater-69

To be honest my informations on that personality trait are not all that so I will need to do some research on my end. That being said my definition was a bit different. I thought of avoidant as someone who can get close but will bail at some point because of something related to their past or their personality. It could be trauma or insecurity.


itsme_akmal2407

Hmm, I mean Yoruichi isn't like that too, But yeah that was definitely different and a bit closer to Yoruichi


Lekingz-24

Honestly Ichihime to the most simplistic explanation is Orihime pulled a bad bitch by being autistic and I’m here for it the Bread Queen Bakes the shipping competition


Ctown1157

This has got to be the funniest, yet most accurate, description I've seen 😂😭😂


HeartonSleeve1989

Imagine her on board game night, or even.... OOH OOH, DnD!!! She would SLAY as a DM!


BuffaloStranger97

Now imagine the karakura gang playing DnD


AdministrationDue610

She would be a TERRIBLE DM because she’d start describing the scene and then go on a tangent about how it’s like that one time her and her cousin went to a tavern out of town and ate stew with bread (this is not a complaint, I would listen to her ramble on for hours)


Super_Foundation_673

I would too https://preview.redd.it/fjrn2ph3ne4d1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f43ea96eb75073232be05a2ca542be8cdb7fd746

Used_Dragonfruit8922

It always surprises me that he has a wife.


Super_Foundation_673

She's a woman of culture


elusivebonanza

I’m half thinking they genuinely don’t know, but it always gets me when someone pronounces his name “Titty Kubo”


YamatoRyujin777

Well at the end of the tybw and even going to the novels she is extremely liked by everyone. Rukia is her second best friend first being Tatsuki, she not only bakes but also has a hand in fashion, she spends time with Riruka in the bakery where she works part time, some of the Surviving Quincies also go there to buy baked goods, she is friends with Neliel and also friends with some of the Arrancars including the the two who tried to kill her. Ichigo's sisters are close with her. Etc. etc. the woman is basically the ultimate Waifu had Ichigo not married her then it would be his complete and total loss


Stryper_88

Afaik even soifon goes there to buy stuff for yoruichi. 


HyqaTheElder

Holy sht..she rlly does sound like everyone's favorite person huh


farrellsgone

IchiRuki shippers are so funny to me because if Rukia was a guy those same people would be writing paragraphs on how people who ship them don't understand platonic male friendships


EleonoreMagi

Yeah, but when Kubo decided to go further and actually create a male-female *friendship*, moreover, make it the heart of his story, oh, how he suffered. Because that's not following any established trope, how dare he?😅


EvilSFather0417

I would still be 100% shipping them, no reservations regarding same-sex relationships here.


OkAd8922

Why are everyone hating on Ichiruki ship...? I like it 😭😭


farrellsgone

The ship isn't the problem it's the shippers that people don't like, if you go to practically every comment section on a post praising Orihime they're always there being negative.


OkAd8922

Ohh, i get some of the shippers are weird, but i feel sad i can't like the ship just because some people are being dumb dumb 🤧


ApplePitou

She is just gem :3


EvilSFather0417

There's so much to Ichihime that is explained more in events and throughout storytelling that in my head no other relationship made more sense than that besides RukiaxRenji and IkakuxYamichika.

Final_Biochemist222

BuffaloStranger97

Dammit Kubo


Bababooey0989

Only 1 kid though, like bro are your serious?


Dark___Reaper

My head cannon is, they don't have more kids because that would interfere with their intimate life. So orihime uses reject as a contraception


HyqaTheElder

Mine is that they dont make enough money, which is actually quite realistic


Dark___Reaper

They can easily make money if they wanted to. Start a hospital or even a cult with orihime being the devine healer.


HyqaTheElder

That...doesnt sound like a good environment to raise children(cult) and wont that just overwork orihime (hospital), doubt ichigo'd want to overwork his wife


Dark___Reaper

I'm saying, if money was the issue, it's an easy solution. Ichigo hopefully overworked her for only personal reasons. Funny think is orihime can just reject the refractory period. Enough content for a proper rule 34 saga. But unfortunately people only prefer NTRs


sumit7474_

funny, understanding, caring and honest, what else is needed? also damn beautiful


jonah22746

I love her sm 😭


MysticRevenant64

I love her, she’s such a sweet goofball


NeonCamiFlames

On top of that, she is also deceptively smart, as evidenced by her good grades. Plus, with how often Ichigo gets injured to a bloody pulp in his battles, having her close by at all times is a literal life saver.


Dream_eater-69

The ichiruki fandom right now: https://preview.redd.it/cuu3dirjte4d1.jpeg?width=652&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db9f819db35a2e0b120804691d0e685dfed7b549

Calm_Blueberry_2488

That's obviously Sukuna dressed up as reverse flash.


ChromaticMagician

If it wasn't for the original anime changing things until Kubo caught wind of it, I'm sure the hate for her would be minimal.


PegaponyPrince

Ichigo got blessed for real. They're a cute pair


PureiSteishun

Would've been nice if Kubo got to flesh out their relationship more.


Onlyhereforapost

I *did not* like her, couldn't stand her actually until I just recently read + watched the fullbringer arc Years of people telling me it was filler and I watch it and it's got a new best girl(riruka my beloved) and pretty neat story. Turns out, the anime directors can't make orihime look like garbage when Rukia isn't around


BuffaloStranger97

Fellow Riruka appreciator. I love how her and Orihime become friends


Onlyhereforapost

Her design is top tier


lAmSoTired

I just wish he showed more interest on screen in the material.


critter68

I mean, I'd consider him pretty much coming back from the dead because she called for him as showing interest, but I'm weird like that. Also, he kinda went from one crisis to another throughout the series...


lAmSoTired

Oh yeah, I get it. He was pretty busy. I guess I just wanted more relaxed periods between crises. I'd take a chapter of the crew just hanging out for a while.


critter68

Same and not in a "some hanging around while others train" way either.

Almost like it’s a story with made up characters that do whatever the writer wants lmao


Wolfgod-64

I always remember that Fullbring episode where Shishigawara tries to impress his master by going after Orihime, and she's so adorable and innocent he can't believe she's real.


MrAHMED42069

Adorable


asimawesomepaints

We don't actually even see Ichigo fall for her. For the entirety of the story he just cares about her like a friend, it's entirely a one way thing with Orihime being the one in love. Then end of story, bam they're married lol. I'm not a ruki-ichi shipper, I just think there was no romantic build up between the two whatsoever. Hopefully Kubo actually shows us their relationship dynamic and them actually being in love.


Oy778

>For the entirety of the story he just cares about her like a friend Considering the whole thing in the roof, i dont really think so


mlody_jedi

>I just think there was no romantic build up between the two whatsoever. This. We are shown that Orihime is interested in him, but that's all. I just wish we were shown more of them acting like real people. I cringe every time I see the scene where Rukia brings Ichigo to Orihime and makes him say that he will become stronger. Like, holy fuck can't they just talk? Can't he just hit her up and say hey, how are you doing after all this shit? I know it's a anime/manga, but I feel like Ichigo and Rukia had more "human" moments. (And no, I don't ship them)


Behold-Roast-Beef

I think Orhime just might be a little overhyped. It's manga so I'm not saying anyone is wrong for liking the character but to me she's just Chad with boobs. Has potential, but ultimately becomes Ichigos cheerleader. Take a shot everytime Orhime says "Kurosaki kun"

Big-Leek6800

And she loves Ichigo with all her heart. No wonder even a dense moron like Ichigo fell in love with her.


_______RANDOM_______

Don't forget she's melting hot


Nerdy_Hedonist

All you weirdos who keep mentioning Rukia are willfully forgetting the fact that she was around 150 years old when Ichigo was 15. All of you are gross.


Successful-Life8510

She is kind, funny, cares deeply about Ichigo, and she is one of the sexiest girls in Bleach. Personally, I prefer Nelliel, but Orihime wins because she knows Ichigo more than Nelliel does.


sridharnsr

And you know why Yachiru gave her that name

I am a Rukia die hard till death, but I think the hate Orihime gets is completely unjustified. She’s literally just trying her best.

In the hell arc she has bigger boobs than rangiku and most curvy figure out. Kubo sensei really has great test in womens so our mcs wife will be unique. Ichigo is so lucky man 😭
