I'm trying to understand how it wasn't obvious that Ichigo felt something beyond friendship for Orihime when this boy came back from the dead to protect her. The DEAD. ☠ He has a hole in his chest from front to back, but hearing Orihime cry for help brings him back to life. And Orihime tried so gd hard to bring him back to life with her powers, but seeing him dead with a gaping hole where his heart used to be, on top of the psychological, mental, and physical torture was beyond too much for a 15-year-old girl to process that it just wasn't working.

I just- these gd kids! I'm so glad they get married at the end. They deserve the world.

[nneefa]

The Hueco Mundo Arc is 🔥.

"Sorry Grimmjow. It seems that I'm not allowed to get anymore wounded than I already am."

And here I was thinking that Ichigo's personal vow to protect Orihime (to her face!) was a blatant display of affection, but then he goes and does this after getting his ass beat to smithereens all because Orihime asked him not to get hurt anymore. My heart is full and my soul is satisfied. This arc has been so amazing for the Karakura Kids, and I'm so grateful and thankful that they finally get spotlight again after spending 100+ chapters being ignored for Soul Society's corrupted ass politics.

Now, the real question is where tf is Chad? He's been missing for the last 20+ chapters!

[nneefa]

Bruh, the way everyone's treating Orihime right now is really pissing me off. I feel so bad for her. Yes, on one hand, she lost her ability to fight because Tsubaki was destroyed, but even if they want to keep her out of battles, they're not even going to try and hone her healing/defensive power, especially when everyone keeps commenting on how amazingly different it is. They're just dismissing her in the most abrupt and awful way. Can yall at least let her heal yall during yall training or is that too much to f'ckin ask?

"You'll only get in the way," "You're a human," "It's dangerous if you're near," "There are people better than you," blah, blah, blah. And I can guarantee you that this is going to bite them all in the ass later. No wonder this girl has such low self-esteem! Look at the way y'all treat her! Every single one of yall hoes better apologize to her.

Thank f'ckin GOD for Chad and Rukia! 'Cause if another person talked to her like Urahobo did, I was going to rage!

[nneefa]

the fact that isshin calls rukia one of his daughters makes me happy because i feel as if my viewing of ichigo and rukia as younger brother/older sister is validated. 🤣

[nneefa]

Ch. 98

The Star and The Tramp; wow, talk about blatant romance. Gonna assume Rukia's the star and Renji's the tramp

Renji was beating the breaks of Ichigo for the last 2-3 chapters, but Ichigo one-shot him

Knocked his hair loose, he can't breathe, feel, move; oop, and the last thought he thinks before fainting is Rukia

Yay! Childhood flashback!

Wow. And here I thought that reincarnated souls couldn't get any poorer. Renji and the gang looked like they climbed right out of the trash can

Dude, you're gonna kill some poor kids! Thank you for tripping this dunderhead on his ugly face

Bruh, if this is Rukia as a kid, then I guess she really does have the appearance of a 10-year-old forever

Lol, they thought Rukia was a little boy. And just like that she became the leader of The Goonies

Wow, they stole water! They really are dirt f'ckin poor!

Aww, Renji's jealous of Rukia. 😂 These kids are adorable. They must be absolutely close to be calling themselves family. (If Rukia and Renji were the leaders, they're clearly the Dad/Mom)

They lived a horrible af life with the worse of the worse adults. Seriously, who's in charge of Housing and Urban Development at Soul Society?!

The only way to get out this hellhole is to become a shinigami.

Wow, Renji had a glow up.

😢 Everyone died that they grew up with except for Renji and Rukia.

They fought to prove their worth at the academy to some smelly nobles. Probably had a billion "Make a Man Out of You" montages

Renji's so excited to tell Rukia about his scores! And look, he has his signature Tatted Brows!

Byakugan is there. This can't be a good sign.

Apparently the Hyuga Clan wants to adopt her. She gets a Get out of Jail Free Card, a swanky last name, and everything. It's like the Soul Society version of BAPS.

Renji... bruh, Rukia clearly wants to stay with you. Your excitement isn't infectious even if it's from a good place.

Ooooh. You were lying to help her get out of that hellhole. 😢

Renji wanted the best for Rukia so he sacrificed their relationship in order for her to be free. 😭

Renji is in love with Rukia, but he's too weak to overcome the odds and too afraid to tell her how he feels because of the possible outcome regarding her being a noble. Rukia wanted Renji to tell her to stay. I can feel it in my bones.

He's begging Ichigo to do what he can't. Save the love of his life.

Gonna go out on a limb here and say that Renji fought to get to Byakugan in order to get to Rukia, but it still wasn't enough. The gap in their status and power is simply too large for Renji to close.

Oh yeah, Byakugan is an asshole for abandoning Renji to die. What a tool.

The title is so gd fitting. Soul Society version of Lady and the Tramp. Rukia clearly feels a way towards Renji and Renji is definitely in love with Rukia, and I'm sure she knew and wanted him to say something, but he just didn't have the gonads to do it. Their love story is kinda tragic

[nneefa]

Ch. 78

Ichigo got his butt kicked by a gangster riding a hog, and he dipped after checking his funkadelic clock

Everyone's confused

Orihime is gorgeous, Kubo is amazing, and someone please tell me there's a colored version/edit of this!

Ichigo's so salty that he got beat up by Ganju the Bandana Man, that he's gonna wait for him to come back for Round 2

Ishida's dragging him, and tries to get Orihime to join, but Yoruichi said, "Swiper no swiping"

Bruh, Ichigo loves picking fights with Ishida; y'all cut from the same cloth, I swear

There's a really guady house with a sealed chimney in the middle of No Man's Land.

The Bonanza Bros. took one look at Yoruichi and instantly went soft. Who says black cats are bad luck?

The owner of the house is a total one-armed babe

She has a brother that she's sending on the rescue mission with, 'cause she doesn't trust these kids

Bandana Man is behind Door #1 and he and Ichigo immediately pop tf off

Ichigo is worried about y'all Ishida, and as a result, he shoulders an unnecessary burden of Patriarch, which is almost insulting, because on the flip side, it undermines y'alls ability to take care of yourselves.

[nneefa]

Ch. 71

So, the Kurosaki Klique is on their way to Soul Society using a secret door (because who's going to remember that long, complicated name for it? not I)

Everyone can keep up it seems, except Super Ishida; his cape is not made from otherworldly material it seems

Super Chad, on the other hand, is like, "Here, hold my cape" and pulls Ishida away from danger with his bear hands

And then throws this wimp over his shoulder and carries him off to safety

You can't run without endangering yourself, Ishida. Why would he put you down and your stupid cape down?

The janitor is there to pick up the trash, but not on Orihime's watch

She saves everyone with her magic hairpins!

What a manly pose you have there, Ichigo? "Stfu Inoue." 😂

Ishida, why tf do you have a back up cape.

Yoruichi, keep your f'ckin kitty cat hands to yourself. No one has permission to chastise Inoue on Ichigo's watch!

Soul Society needs an overhaul if this is how they treat new souls. They clearly live below the poverty line

Ichigo really needs to learn how not to dive in headfirst; please, son, have some discernment unless you want Monkey Man here to crush you

Dunno about anyone else, but this Soul Society Arc is boring me. Sorry Rukia, I'm not interested in your rescue. I just want you to go back to school; it'd be even better if Renji and Byakugan joined in Karakura High Shenanigans

[nneefa]

Ch. 60

Ichigo is starting his hero training with Urahobo, and his first job is to beat up a little girl

Oop, but she's stronger than she looks; she almost crushed Ichigo with a seismic punch but he dodged at the last second

He grabs a headband that Urahobo told him to put on and there's some magical girl words he has to say in order to invoke it's power

It's a lie

He wears it properly and is now ready to open a can of whoopass

Or not...

Ichigo can obviously keep up with this girl, but he's gonna have to get over her being a kid if he wants to win otherwise she'll rip him to shreds

Oh, turns out that wasn't the point of the lesson; don't worry Ichigo, you're not the only one that's lost right now

Ichigo wants to eat for passing lesson one, but nah, this is school boy! On to lesson two!

Orihime and Chad are gonna train with a kitty cat. Let's see how this goes

[nneefa]

Ch. 58

Ichigo is so blunt about this dude that's sitting at the desk Rukia occupied. Who tf are you? *guy says his name* My bad, bro.

Well, Rukia's gone, and no one seems to gaf.

Urahara has Ichigo taking a fire emblem concoction that heals wounds quickly, and apparently it's amazing, despite the skull and crossbones as the label

I wouldn't be surprised if Urahobo snuck in each one of these teens' house and popped them with a forget-me-stick

Ochi-sensei, I think is this teacher's name; she's cool beans.

Uryuu couldn't bear to show his face to school after getting his ass kicked last night

I love that Ichigo has regular friends - Keigo can be obnoxious, but he's a good-natured dude. I wonder how he and Ichigo became friends. Mizuiro too. Someone write this!

Thank God, we don't have to sit through a cliche summer/beach montage

Ichigo is restless; it's 'cause you're not ghostbusting anymore and your mentor bounced

Orihime the Empath! Ya girl wondering where tf is Rukia and why do people have amnesia!

Orihime out'chere reading Ichigo his rights, like a pamphlet! He tries to play it off, but Orihime's like, "Nah, playa, this is what you're thinkin!" and he can't talk back

She mocks him! 😂 I love this girl.

"This is what you're thinking, but this is what you want to do." Orihime knows this dude!

She wants him to do what he wants and save their friend. Baby~

"Thank you, Inoue!" Girl just strengthened ya boy's resolve. Oop, but it looks like her resolve's been strengthened too! She's gonna start fighting!

🤢 Ichigo close your shirt. Those scars look awful.

Hahaha! "Hanky-panky." Don't worry, Urahobo, Ichigo's got a way to go before he ever crosses that threshold

[nneefa]

Ch. 56

Byakuya (I just spent the last 5 minutws trying to pronounce this dude's name "Bu-ya-kuya") just one-shot Ichigo, so quickly that Renji got crosseyed

Rukia is horrified! You're killing her twin for no reason. Oh, but it turns out that's her brother.

Btw, wtf are those things in his head?

Rukia really wants to save Ichigo's life, but Tatted Brows just pushed her back; do you want a life sentence on top of the one you already got!?

Ichigo resembles "him" a lot, Byakugan says.

Ichigo has enough strength to be mouthy, despite getting cut to pieces; that's what I call dedication

Wow. Byakugan's gonna lop off Ichigo's arm for grabbing his robes and being mouthy. "I'll kill this sassy child if he doesn't stop giving me the stink eye."

Rukia, thank God! Do what you can to save this sassy kid's life. Even if you have to hurt his feelings, no matter how much it makes you want to cry

Then they make their way through the sliding doors to Ye Ole Soul Society

And even though Ichigo thought he was doing the right thing - and he was - he's kinda powerless and now he's in both mental and physical pain, cuz his BFF just dissed him and left him in the rain to waste

Dude just wants to live up to his name. Stop stealing his thunder dammit

[nneefa]

Ch. 53

Did I say Renji and Byakuya were hot. Renji, you're kinda not on Byakuya's level right now. Maybe later, when Kubo draws you more attractively.

Ishida casually says he went to the tailor shop. Yes, a boy that sews, confidently, and is good at it. Your cool points just went up by one whole point

Renji has a whole lot of attitude, even though you asked Ishida who he was. Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer I guess.

Hahahaha! Ichigo was this close to taking a leak, but got a jump scare that made him tuck his clothes back in with the quickness

😂 Kon was taped to the back of the toilet! Probably deserved it.

Hahaha! Ichigo's holding his nose while he talks to him! Apparently Isshin came peed and took a 💩 TWICE and Kon has a smell on him! Ichigo doused this dude with air freshener.

I like that Kon calls Rukia his sister.

Rukia's obsession with rabbits is adorable, but did she really have to write a complicated secret note to tell them she's leaving? She's worried that SS will kill them

The resident hobo Urahara shows up in the nick of time

[nneefa]

Ch. 52

So, a lot has happened since my last review; Orihime and Chad awakened their powers, the local douche canoe Ishida put his feelings aside to help fix a problem his dumbass started, and now he's kinda friends with Ichigo! Yay, friendship!

We're introduced to two hotties right out gate. Byakuya and Renji! 😍 Oop, but they seem to have their eyes fixed on Rukia and it does not look pretty

Ichigo invited Ishida to eat lunch on the roof with Keigo and Mizuiro, but he only agreed because he gets a free lunch. He's so much like Ichigo, hiding his feelings behind a bad attitude, but Ishida, you're still a turd for unleashing all those hollows. Ain't nobody forget what you did!

Orihime and friends invite Rukia to eat lunch together, and wow, they straight up asked if she had feelings for Ichigo. 😑 If only y'all kids saw those two interact, you wouldn't be asking that. They're practically the same person, Rukia's just older. They bicker like family, like brother and sister. Can you imagine how Ichigo would respond if someone asked him this dumbass question? 😂

Rukia's clearly upset that she has such strong ties to these kids, especially after only being around them for 2 months, but she seems to love them all dearly. And now, she has to let them all go. I have a feeling that she didn't/doesn't really have friends in SS, if this is how she's feeling.

CALLED IT! Shinigami don't have friends! What kinda morbid lifestyle is that? They exist only to do their jobs, nothing more, nothing less. And now, Rukia is experiencing human emotions that she never should've experienced. SHE GOT CAUGHT UP AND NOW SHE HAS TO THROW IT AWAY!

Bruh, Shinigami are kinda heartless when it comes to their rules, aren't they? First the Quincy, now this?

Yes, Ishida! For once, I'm glad to see you. Make Tatted Brows back off.

Then you had to go and ruin it with your "I hate Shinigami" line. 😑

[nneefa]

Ch. 37

Ishida has a stick up his butt. No, scratch that, a tree. Ichigo hasn't done anything to deserve your vitriol, but you're scum for endangering people to hollows just to prove some dumb point about Quincy being better than Shinigami. Seriously, wtf is Ishida's problem? I hope someone whoops his ass for this. I'm so pissed that he put all of these people in danger just to prove his "superiority." The fact that he did this means he CLEARLY has an inferiority complex.

[nneefa]

Ch. 34

So, we find out here that Ichigo is actually a pretty diligent student. He doesn't participate in clubs, or do anything after school, so he studies in his free time. The upperclassmen pick fights with him because of his hair color, and he's short-tempered, so he's not gonna let you walk all over him. And because of that, the teachers look at him sideways, so in order to lessen his trouble, he makes good grades so people can leave him tf alone. He doesn't have a bad attitude - he's a pretty standard dude; a genuinely good and wholesome one actually. That's a pretty miserable existence, tbqh, so I should hope that in the future, he appreciates his friends and sees them as allies in both his hero life and regular life. His friends certainly do appreciate him for who he is, Orihime especially. But the fact that he has to maintain good grades, like being in the Top 20, in order to keep the faculty off his back and is used to doing it is completely unfair, since he doesn't do anything to warrant bad attention.

Lol @ Mizuiro. He spreads rumors around school about Ichigo, even though he's his friend. I can only imagine what other things he spreads about him. Kubo once again showing that Ichigo and Rukia are legit twins in how they act and think.

Ishida just got introduced as a Quincy, and he apparently hates Shinigamis. Okay... dunno what chip you have on your shoulder four-eyed priest, but the fact that you followed Ichigo to tell him that after berating him, makes you lose major cool points, pal.

[nneefa]

Ch. 31

So, Ichigo hates astrology and fortune telling, but dude looked up his sign to see what his fortune would be, and named all the bad shit that happened to him. 😂 If you look it up and it aligns with what happens, of course you're gonna be like, "This isn't a coincidence!" And now everyone in Karakura Town likes this dumb af tv show about this dude that can see ghosts and does exorcisms.

"BOHAHAHAHA!" Mizuiro only does it to piss Ichigo off, but not because he legit likes it, lmao. Also, Ichigo goes to the town gathering of "Ghost Bust" with his family, even though he hates it, and Orihime, my girl, just swooned because Ichigo's a just a good frickin' guy, because he does things he hates for the people he loves. Not everyone has a heart like that Ichigo, so it's not normal. Orihime has a good eye for men, I tell ya, because Ichigo is 👍🏽.

Even Rukia likes this dumb af tv show now, lol! Also, dude, she doesn't know what television is! Can we just, I dunno, get a spinoff of Soul Society learning the eccentricities of the human world, because I'd be down for that 100%. They don't what wtf FESTIVALS are! Renji/Rukia would definitely honeymoon to the real world if they could, I know it.

So, anyway! There's a hollow, that wasn't a hollow before but thanks to this moronic tv star, we have a hollow now, holed up in a hospital.

I LAUGHED! Ichigo is so dumbfounded by his sword getting stuck in the ceiling. First off, how frickin' tall are you for your sword to reach the ceiling when you swing it, and secondly, why tf are the hospital ceilings so low? Is it a hospital for dwarves, ran by dwarves? 😂

Anyway, Ichigo and Kanonji save the day! What a dish, what a ride!

[nneefa]

Ch. 25

So, we find out that the thing that killed Masaki was a hollow that look lured people to their death by pretending to be a human. Ichigo still blames himself for his mother's death, despite learning about this. There's not really much I can say for these last few chapters, except that 1) the Kurosaki family dynamic is great (and I can only imagine the family shenanigans once Orihime is apart of it, and thereafter Kazui), and 2) Rukia out'chere proving what amazing mentor/guardian/older sister figure she is to Ichigo. I said this before, but Ichigo and Rukia are so similar, like two sides of the same coin. Kubo said that there's no other relationship in shounen like theirs, and I agree, especially since most shounen protagonists lack personalities like Ichigo.

Orihime the Empath is back at it, but dude! She has a life full of hardship and never complains! She got kicked out of her apartment and is now homeless, living out of a hotel. The way she says it with a smile is ridiculous, and Tatsuki responds the way a person should, but can you imagine if Ichigo found out? Orihime is a Stepford Smiler.

Ch. 25

Once again, Ichigo out'chere being petty af to Kon, lmao. He's beating the dust out of him by slamming him against the wall outside his window. 😂 Rukia's even worse, scrubbing him "clean" with the school's toilet brush. Bruh, there needs to be some fics of shinigami adjusting to human life, since they clearly don't have the same things in Soul Society. That would be hilarious af. Kon is pissed so he left and just when he gets a lecherous idea, karma strikes him hard in the back.

Wtf kinda game are Tatsuki and Orihime playing that requires a soccer ball and a baseball bat? "Base-Soccer." The fact the Tatsuki, the level-headed one, is indulging this girl's silly ideas is sweet.

Kon got everything he deserved, tbqh. Perverts should be punished.
