Talk:Orihime Inoue

How do we know for sure that she has "Enhanced Speed" -
 * We don't :p

Powers
Should we include in the trivia section or somewhere that Orihime's powers seem to be a hybridization of shinigami and hollow powers? They are notably similar to those of Hachi, a Vizard, and she developed them during an encounter with both Ichigo in his shinigami form and her hollowfied brother Sora. Similarly, in my opinion, Chad developed hollow powers because he was exposed to a couple of hollows leading up to his powers' development, but he has no shinigami reiatsu because he never encountered Ichigo in his shinigami form during that time. I'm putting a similar message on Chad's talk page. Darth Havoc 01:13, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Thats really not how it works. You dont gain ability by being near someone otherwise every person a shinigami or hollow passes would develop spiritual powers of some form if that was the case. Hachi commented that Orihime had powers similar to his and therefore her powers are more like kido then anything, but very advanced kido maybe some in the forbidden spells area. It just so happened the power she naturally had manifested in that emotional situation the same with chad, its still unknown why his powers are the way they are but they are natural to him.

 * Are you sure it doesn't work like that? No one else has actually gotten any real powers other than spiritual awareness to my knowledge. Tatsuki, Keigo, and Mizuiro got their powers from exposure to Ichigo, and Chizuru probably got hers secondhand from exposure to Tatsuki and Orihime, but so far none of them has been able to do anything that they couldn't already do other than seeing spirits. Even in the Karakura-Raizer episode (which I haven't seen yet, so bear with me if I get something wrong), all Keigo did was run and dodge, Mizuiro didn't even show up, Tatsuki could already fight, and I'm not sure I want to know what Chizuru did, but it was probably nothing special for her, and we don't know much about her abilities to begin with.


 * Regarding the part about everyone who was around a shinigami not gaining powers, I meant prolonged exposure. Tatsuki was exposed to Ichigo at the same time Orihime was for at least several minutes, and she developed spiritual awareness soon after. Keigo was exposed to Ichigo when he was almost killed by the Bounts, and he developed his powers soon after that. I can't remember a time when Mizuiro was exposed to Ichigo, but he developed his powers much later in the series; he may have gotten it from Keigo and/or Tatsuki. Most people aren't exposed to captain level reiatsu for any significan amount of time because of the limiters, and it may be that some people are more susceptible than others.


 * Also, Hachi didn't develop that technique until after he became a Vizard, so he probably created the technique by combining his shingami and hollow reiatsu's. Darth Havoc 04:09, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Yea but since then has anyone else developed powers no. And there is no proof of that at all. there cant be one instance of one thing happening that never takes place again and on top of that the powers they developed are really no more then spiritual awareness. Orihime and chad have far larger developed powers not it stands to reason that being around ichigo may have allowed her to access the power that she wouldnt have been able to otherwise. The ability hachi developed after was still kido, being a vizard allows you to have a higher level power then a shinigami or hollow has separate. As there main powers are still shinigami its kido as hollows cant use kido. he is just using powers he developed on his own because of the access to higher levels of power it doesnt make it a hollow ability any more then a cero used by a vizard is shinigami. He was stating the ability is similar to what he developed as a kido spell. Anything else is speculation. Salubri 04:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I could keep going, but I don't see any point. I'm sorry for offending you. I was only saying that that's what it seemed like to me. If we keep this up, I think one or both of us will get in trouble for fighting. (And most of what you just said is stuff I already said in my last post.) If you want to continue this conversation, please leave a message on my talk page. Darth Havoc 04:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)


 * P.S.: I never said Hachi's new kido wasn't kido or that it was a hollow power. I only said that he created it by combining his kido with his hollow reiatsu.

Tsubaki Mistake?
Um Sorry to bother you all, but I'm concerned about something it states about Tsubaki. It says that thanks to meeting Hachi she was able to restore Tsubaki without having a piece of him. But in Chapter 228 pages 13 and 14 we see that she does have a piece of Tsubaki and it's Hachi rather than Orihime who restores Tsubaki. Shouldn't this be changed? Revan46 05:33, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Your right i noticed this and hachi was the ne who fixed it in the anime to and the piece of tsubaki was also in the anime to --Bodock 01:31, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

role in the series
isnt inoue a central character,and a heroine?why isn't it mentioned?Saiyan16 18:07, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

why are words like 'attractive' or 'cute' being removed from orihime's appearance?After all,she is good-looking,and several characters have denoted so in the series.Saiyan16 05:21, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

I think it's because that's considered fan-biased, or something along the lines that was considered an unnecessary edit. A long time ago, something like that was in Sun-Sun's article as well, but it was removed. I can't seem to find the discussion that took place among it (it might have been discussed just through edits), but it was removed from Sun-Sun's article, and it's probably best we did this for others as well. Arrancar109 05:35, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Don't Yoruichi or Rangiku fall among the others?This word is used in their pages as well.Saiyan16 06:20, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Relationships?
Why does Orihime doesn't have a 'Relationships' page? I mean she has interacted with a lot of characters...for examples are Ichigo, Uryu, Ulquiorra, Rukia and Tatsuki?

This should be placed soon in her information. she's a major character in the series. Why not build one for her too?Yoyipop 11:18, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Old Picture?
Why was Orihime's picture switched to an old version when the newer one was just fine? She has changed since then, like her hairstyle for example. Now her bangs are tucked behind her ears. This is like way back to the single digit episodes. IchigoKitty 23:23, 5 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know. Maybe they figured her back in the Agent arc (the first arc) was, like better for her personality or some noobish thing. Well, I don't exactly know how to change it back, but somebody should do that. She's hardly hwta she was back in the Agent arc. Or unless the person that did it was trying to "unspoiler" the page for her kidnapping...but if you don't know Aizen took her you're pretty far behind...Ah, I'll stp rambling now. Point is her, I think her older picture was better.BlairXCirucci 11:24, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Spiritual Power
It seems that the section on her spirit power was made based solely on the SS arc and has not been updated since. Events since she was kidnapped show that she is not weak, imo - standing close to multiple battles (GJ Vs Ulqui, Ichi Vs GJ, Nnoitra Vs Zaraki, Ichigo Vs Ulqui, Full Hollow Ichi Vs 2nd release Ulqui), slapping Ulquiorra, surviving a beating from Loly & Menoly, being thrown around etc by Nnoitra & Tesla. This is why I changed it. I didn't want to list all that stuff though, as I thought it would be a bit too much. Also, the bit about her KO'ing two unseated Shinigami is listed in the hand-to-hand bit immediately below SP, so there's no need for it to be in both. The wording isn't perfect, so feel free to tweak or re-word it. --Yyp 19:19, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what slapping Ulquiorra has to do with her own spiritual energy, so I removed that bit and expanded on her attacks with Loly, Menoly, Nnoitra and Tesla. Thanks for going ahead and adjusting things! Twocents 21:59, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Looks good. I should have made it clearer - she struck his face, which is covered by hierro. Yourichi hurt herself hitting Yammi. That's why I thought it was worth mentioning. There's enough there now, so no need for it.--Yyp 15:02, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Should we mention something about her training with Rukia? Something along the lines of she was able to keep up with Rukia during their training session as sort of an indication of her spiritual power level? Tinni 03:38, September 25, 2009 (UTC)
