The Untangled Web of Orihime Inoue

I thought Orihime was a great character in the beginning of the series, a bit later she got boring(after SS) but I still like her due to UO, but that's all really XD

orihime is such a mixed bag. just when she seems to get cool and semi-strong, she is immediately then made to be helpless and require EVERYONE in bleach to save her. of course you look at her and think : or : but she is a better character than some give her credit for, and if she has been made this much of a big deal to rescue, then you know that she will "REJECT" Aizen into nonexistence in the end :

Oh Orihime~

She seemed to be such an average background character when the series started that, it's so wonderful to now see her as one of the most complex characters in the series! :

For being someone so easy to read sometimes, she most often than not makes us question what the heck she is thinking....what a contradiction huh? :p

ORIHIME, IT'S TIME TO KICK SOME ASS!!! :twisted:

I absolutely ADORE this girl! : I simply can't get enough of her! :hahaha: She's so well designed and complex! Though as Kawaii stated, this wasn't always the case. I feel that the growth in Orihime's role, also reflects the growth of her character. I have nothing but love for Hime.

I have mixed thoughts about Orihime...

When I first started reading Bleach, I felt sorry for her because she had this unrequited love towards Ichigo, and then I was like "OMG! ILU!! " when she totally kicked butt for Tatsuki's sake ...

But then we go to SS and all she did was run around trying to find "Kurosaki-kun!", and while she was still cute during this stage ... She just ... Well, as Kawaii said, she seemed like little more than a filler-girl. Someone we could rely on when people got hurt, or to help protect, but with no power to stand up on her own two feet with ...

Nevertheless, her will and battle ... attitude definately improved after SS - That was shown when Ulqiuorra and Yammy made their big debut's, and Orihime finally realised she can't keep relying on Kurosaki-kun to save her. But after that, she goes into this "I can't help/do anything" mode, and just ... ugh!

Don't get me wrong, I still felt bad for her and I could still relate to the helplessness she was feeling during the time when Ichigo was having issues dealing with that fact that he couldn't defeat Ulqui/Yammy ... But, as Matsumoto said, that kind of attitude doesn't suit her... And it was a very big backwards step from the defiant Hime we saw back before SS.

And then Ulquiorra steps back into Hime's life, and what do we see? Defiant-Hime! Standing up on her own two feet-Hime! Standing up for her friends-Hime! Hells, we see aggressive-Hime!! That is a hell of a lot of character development borne from the presence of one character!


... ... And I'm rambling now :oops

My point is, I like Orihime, overall ... But there are times when I don't like what she's doing because I know she can do more ... Does that make sense?
But, I love her when she's in the presence of Ulquiorra

(Errr ... Also, I hope I didn't annoy anyone w/ my ... semi-analysis with Hime. First time I've actually done a "Hime" post that wasn't UlquiHime related )

Edit: Oh wow ... Wall of text much?

Great post Phoenix089.
Yeah yeah, Orihime is LOVE but sometimes I want to punch her in the face....*SHOTS*

No seriously I love Orihime!!! Don't look at me that way! D:

Yes some I feel dissappionted of Orihime when she goes to "Kurosaki-kun Help Me" Mode I know is better than that!!!! But still if I see it in her piont of view, I guess it's must be hard.*sweatdropped* BUT I STILL BELIVIE IN HER!!!!!!!

ULQUIORRA will return for his WOMAN!!!![/center][/center]
