>>43737851One of the only things Kubo is consistent about is the relationship between Ichigo and Rukia, and Orihime's inability to be to Ichigo what Rukia is to him. Seriously, he's done this very consistently through the years.
An example:
>Ichigo hates the rain>Rukia dubbed the white moon that dries away the rain>Orihime says that she wishes she were the rain, a wish that is completely backward in terms of what she intends to beAnd then Orihime proves to be responsible for fucking Ichigo over in the fullbring arc and turning him into a crazed monster in the mexico arc. Meanwhile, Rukia keeps slapping sense into Ichigo and restores his powers.
