Forum:Orihime & Fullbring

Inoue
Isn't Inoue also a Fullbring user? I can't remember when it was mention, but I'm sure it was somewhere. At least all her technique is based on the same things and It was mention by many that its power differs from Shinigamis.

No, she's not, and it has never been mentioned that she could be one. Quite the contrary, Hachigen said once that her hairpins were somewhat similar to a Shinigami's Zanpakuto. There has been made no mention that her powers could be Hollow-like or that she possesses the requirements to be a Fullbringer. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  04:44, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

What Lia said. Kubo has been building-up to Fullbring with Chad for a while now. When Chad was training against Renji's bankai, Urahara commented Chad's power were hollow like. When Chad went to Heuco Mundo shortly after, he commented that his powers felt at home in Heuco Mundo and that he has been suspicious of his powers ever since he got them or something like that. Same is not true of Orihime. Orihime's powers have never once been compared to Hollows, rather Hachi compared them to that of a Shinigami. More importantly, her pins when "released" turn into living things. Indeed, just like Zanpakuto spirits, her pins spirits have names and identity all their own. She even has a "release" command ("I reject") and her pins have a name "Shun Shun Rekka". That's really, really not like Fullbring. So far, none of the Fullbrings we have seen turn into living things and they give their abilities names, not that their abilities have names to begin with. Don't get me wrong, Kubo can still declare Orihime a Fullbringer but facts presented in the story so far do not support such a conclusion. Tinni  (Talk)  11:06, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hints supporting Inoue is a Fullbringer
The discussion was closed and would not let me add anything, so here's my input.

1. - Inoue got her powers shortly after a hollow attack, much like Chad. 2- Her powers manifest via something she cherishes. 3- Her powers, like Chad's, manifested in a moment where she otherwise felt powerless. 4- Her powers have been compared to Hachi's, who is two things - a Kido user and a Visored. According to Shinji, the Visored's reiatsu is very similar to that of a hollow.

I just felt it wrong to say no evidence supports that Inoue might be a Fullbringer when there's at LEAST this much.

She is not a Fullbringer. Her powers were said to be closer to a Shinigami's and those of a Zanpakuto.--

Just so this is understood Orihime does not have fullbring and has never been so much as hinted at it. 1.) One doesn't gain a fullbring from a hollow attack they have to be born with one. Chad was born with one it wasn't brought out until he was attacked by a hollow and his interaction with Ichigo. This is explained various times. 2.) Everyone connection to their object in fullbring is based on something different, but there is still manipulation of souls in object, something chad has involuntarily done in certain occasions but Orihime has not. 3.) Your grasping at best. Hachi regardless of being a Visored is not talking about how his reiatsu is similar in feel to a hollows he is talking about the power that he uses, this is no question Kido. The Visored Hachigen Ushōda comments that her hair pins, being the physical manifestation of her powers, is very much like the Zanpakutō of a Shinigami and that her powers resemble his own powers.
