| TheGoldenBoy said: I'll explain it for him. Before the timeskip IchiRuki had a pretty good chance of happening. However, after seeing everything that has happened since then, I'm convinced—and happy—that Ichihime has a greater chance of happening. Kubo keeps on bring up the fact that Orihime has feelings for Ichigo (i.e. Orihime vision when delivering bread, her feeling pain (crying) at Ichigo's struggles even when she lost her memory because of Tsukishima, the fact that Yoruichi, Chad and Urahara made Ichigo comment on Orihime's new dress, etc.). If Kubo wanted to go the IchiRuki route he could have easily written out Orihime's feelings after the timeskip but he didn't. If anything it's hinted at even more now. There's also the fact that Ichigo has spent much more time with Orihime than Rukia after the timeskip. |
I don't see how anything you said supports IchiHime. Sure, it supports Orihime liking Ichigo, which everybody knows at this point, but it does nothing on Ichigo's end. He was and still is oblivious of Orihime's feelings for him.
Also, if anything, the timeskip proved even more that IchiRuki has a better chance than IchiHime. Orihime had 2 years to get close to Ichigo, but it's obvious from the FullBring arc that she didn't. She was still getting all crazy when it came to Ichigo and he was still oblivious. She was still calling him Kurosaki-kun, and he was still calling her Inoue.
