About Ichigo and Orihime getting married, where is Isshin and Ryuken, Renji and Rukia married, Aizen imprisoned again and...where is Urahara and Yoruichi? The last time i saw them with Grimjow beat Askin. "Many" is a nice understatement :D ... Ichigo maybe just made up his mind at some point and realised: "Oh, that girl seems to like me !" 20 years after the other folks around. But seriously: It was just the most easy and cliche way to pull this off. Rukia x Renji is atleast a little bit more realistic because they had similar feelings for each other. Orihime loves Ichigo nearly for the whole series and he is like: "I will protect you, like all of my FRIENDS." Nothing more was shown from his side. Isshin and Ryuken are probably okay and live their lifes in the real world - they weren't in any sort of danger in this arc. It's a shame that the whereabouts of Urahara, Yoruichi, Grimmjow, Yushiro and Nel weren't shown at all. But thats the fault of the axe. I think that they are probably okay, too. In the last pages of fight against Askin, Nel is shown (Gamuza activated) and she likely rescued the other guys. And that Kubo sacrfices two or three pages of his precious last chapters "just" to confirm that Ukitake is dead leads me to that assumption aswell. If they would be dead he could have shown that with a little altered version of the grave stone scene. It would have been enough for Kyoraku to just mention it in some way. But well, we must face the reality that this qustions might stay unanswered forever (or atleast for quite a while now - depends on the live-action movie, I would say^^)
