Re: Ichigo and Orihime
Firstly, yes, I agree that he was depressed when he couldn't protect her against Yammy, and he was unwilling to give up on Orihime after she was kidnapped. I admit that he did stop Grimmjow's attack bare-handed because Orihime did plead for him not to die. But I don't think it supports his increased transformation time. He utilized his Hollow mask several times prior to the 3rd fight against Grimmjow. I will admit that it can't be faulted that he withstood Ulquiorra's cero, but his overall strength itself could have been increased since then. That part is actually debateable, since Ichigo has an unusual growth potential. Don't forget that Ichigo was able to fight on par with Kenpachi during the Soul Society Arc after being healed by Hanataro from the wounds he sustained in his fight against Renji (which is another fight he struggled with before encountering someone stronger).

Anyway, before I go onto a full rant, I'll look over what you wrote in the article's history again. I'll put it back up, but I might revise some of it. Also, to be on the safe side, is there anything else I might have forgotten that you haven't mentioned yet? We got the Yammy thing, the initial kidnapping, the Grimmjow fight, and the Ulquiorra rematch (which I know he's fighting so he can bring Orihime back home, since she's still essentially a prisoner). I think it's best we get as much notable information as possible. Arrancar109 19:01, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

First, it's important to note I'm supporting why it's possible he could have feelings for her as well as Rukia or Senna. I think the intro for the Arrancar arc with the first Aqua Timez song ALONES could imply some things about their relationship. Also, before his first battle against Ulquiorra he said he was going to save Rukia who was in serious danger, but as soon as he learned that Ulquiorra kidnapped Orihime, he flash stepped, dropping Nel, and attacked him. With this, he dismissed saving Rukia to fight him and it also means he didn't think that taking out the number 1 espada (which is what he thought at the time) was enough reason to fight Ulquiorra. One last thing, though it is debatable, is how he treats her informally when carrying her down after he defeats Grimmjow. It is similar to the way he would treat Rukia, who is definitely a possible love interest for Ichigo as well as Orihime. That's what I can think of right now, and thank you for replying very quickly to my article. I know was a little rude, so I apologize. Shanghaikid2007 19:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
