User blog comment:Bloody Bankai/The Plot and Characters in Bleach ( Spoilers inside, please avoid this post if you do not read the manga as well as watch the anime )/@comment-1654562-20091023072502

i agree that she can't do it right now, i never stated that she could, and i know my comment has a contradiction in there, because it seems like for now, her powers are a contradiction... she has something that has been around for a long time... Kido powers, that Hacchi has, YET there is also something else about her power that exceeds the norm. HOWEVER she has yet to even reach her potential, since most of her power stems from emotions, and she holds back A LOT!!!! always questioning herself and thinking she is incapable of just about everything because of the fact that everyone always saves her. NOW if she actually learned more about her powers and (what i am guessing....) reached her potential, she probably could do just about anything (within the limit of her powers) and Hacchi doesn't need an object to restore it, so due to the fact that Orihime's powers are closer resemblance to Hacchi, i wouldn't put it past her to be able to do that herself... i am hoping that she never "revives" anyone that has been in the anime or manga, because that defeats the purpose of killing them in the first place, BUT i am not saying it isn't possible /shrug who knows, cause unless the writers show us where they are trying to go with her powers, we have no clue =)
