>>285238678It didn't even need the ship tease stuff, just compare a normal interaction between those two with a normal interaction between Ichigo and Orihime They saw the truth, and they acted accordingly
>>285238678>>285238757I never watched the Bleach anime but how did they push for Ichigo and Rukia? I thought it was apparent Ichigo and Orihime was end game since her chapters with her brother?
>>285238678What makes me laugh is that everyone loved this ship back then, maybe there was like a 10% of the fanbase that preferred Ichigo x Orihime. Damn, I think even Ulquiorra x Orihime was more popular at the time, but now it turns out that everyone knew Ichigo x Rukia wasn't going to happen and they always preferred Ichigo x Orihime. People are so funny.
>>285239048It was apparent that it was the endgame, yeah But it was also obviously a shit endgame Because again, just look at their normal interactions That's not two people who are into each other I wouldn't believe they even know each other beyond casual acquaintances if I hadn't gotten other context
>>285239051Nothing gives a female character more fans than winning a ship war. I'm sure that if Naruto and Sakura had become a couple, at least half of the hate Sakura gets would disappear.
>>28523875524/7 mad
>>285238678Why are women like this?https://youtu.be/0LFjxhtUcIc?si=ObDWYrIZ8_MWr6jF
>>285239356No it would not it would get even more hate because now its the worst timeline created.
>>285238678>Is Studio Pierrot and its blatant support for Ichiruki the biggest propaganda for a non-canon couple ever made by an animation studio?Studio Pierrot outright invented Naruto x Hinata with dozens of filler episodes before the manga ever got close to hinting those two getting together for real. That bet paid off, meanwhile Ichigo and Rukia didn't.
>>285239356Stupid ship. It doesn't make sense even if you watch the damn movie. Watch the anime.
>>285239724>Stupid shipWhich one?
>>285239838Narusaku
>>285239621Kishimoto makes it pretty clear from the very beginning they’re going to be together.Their personalities are opposing, just like all the couple in Naruto. One is loud and abrasive, one is calm and quiet. Minato and Kushina, Tsunade and Dan, Shikamaru and Temari, Shikaku and his wife, Sasuke and Sakura.Hinata also has much more meaningful conversations with Naruto than with Sakura, even from part 1.
>>285239048I never thought so, what about that miniarc hinted she was endgame? Can't say I remember much, only that I didn't care for it.
>>285239935Not a fan of it (neither of Naruhina, to be honest), but you and I both know that a lot of people would suddenly start to like her if the author said she sucked the MC's dick.
>>285239051>they always preferred Ichigo x Orihime.that's not true at all, ichihime is just more accepted these days out of respect for kubo's decision and a way to get back at all the orihime hate. look at how no one truly cares for renruki. the only ships that had a foot in the shipwars were ichiruki, ichihime, ulquihime, and renruki with ichiruki dominating and renruki far behind. even to this day i'm sure it dominates, but the fans have to be more quiet due to the retarded bleach fanboys who sperg on every piece of ichiruki artwork out there.
You now remember Park Ranger.
>>285240140Yes i would agree as well desu.
>>285240397Did the fujoshi not throw fits back in the pas? Grimmichi, aiichi, etc.
>>285240397The real tragedy is Rukia ended up with an idiot who doesn't respect her
As much as i hate them i understand the narutards arguments and ongoing debates , the characters who end up together barely speak to each other for the most part. Many other shows handle it far more normally...Bleach how ever did not suffer from this every character and side character was developed well in bleach, everyone has chemistry with one another.
>>285240853Renji literally respects her more than Ichigo, what are you on about?
>>285238678The original Kinnikuman anime paired Kinnikuman with a character who disappeared after a few chapters and then kept her appearing through filler. Then the 2nd Kinnikuman anime that adapted the final arc of the original manga run doubled down on keeping her as the main love interest even though it otherwise dropped most filler from the original anime (like some characters who existed just for fighting commentary) and even had Kinnikuman's canon love interest showing a crush on someone else by the end.
>>285240964Kubo makes Orihime believably into Ichigo, and like, i think that for her character works…im not gonna say it’s PARTICULARLY well written romance
>>285240796I don't give a fuck about ship wars.
>>285239356lol nope, were you there?
>>285240053No Kishimoto did a shit job of it, namely by having Naruto give Neiji's diatribe about Destiny the time of day and brush over the fact HE TRIED TO KILL HINATAThat's a bit more important than some pessimistic grade schooler's ideology of predetermination, even if he did end up being correct
>>285238678Reminder that Kubo dismissed this headcanon on Klub years ago when he said this never happened. This made a lot of people seethe and they've been griping about an anime remake ever since, comepletely forgetting the fact that Kubo has supervised the original since Bount arc and that in a remake he'd add new scenes for them he couldn't put in the manga because of panel/time constraints, like that address to Rukia when Ichigo leaves for FKT.
>>285240053>Hinata also has much more meaningful conversations with Naruto than with Sakura, even from part 1.Hinata and Naruto literally do not interact again in the manga after the Chuuni Exams, before Part 2 starts. Meanwhile the anime had tons of filler with them together again, making them appear a lot closer. Only by Part 2 in the manga that Hinata and Naruto have more meaningful interactions, long after Studio Pierrot made its bet.
>>285241492It's fucking hilarious thinking back, I loved Naruhina but after Chuunin exams it's literally radio silence, then short interactions sprinkled ever 2 years, then ok they got married.Yet like the other anon I also always knew they'd get together. Naruto and Sakura were always together yet somehow were never written like they'd be good for each other. Only Naruto and Hinata ever were.This is what happens when you have stakes in shipping war for a shounen manga. They're written to keep you invested until the mangaka is done writing the manga. And it works. Kishimoto even admitted NaruSaku was a red-herring, and Kubo definitely knew what he was doing too.
>>285239538Not a narusakufag or a naruhinafag but narusaku is the best timeline because Boruto is never born.
>>285240796bleach fujos stay to themselves. they never deluded themselves into thinking it could happen like say bakudeku fujos or narusasu fujos.>>285241084renji was a dick to her when they reunited for the first time. yeah he changed but their first interaction soured the pairing for a lot of people plus it was zero sided with barely any real interactions on paper. and ichigo showing concern for rukia in this scene is very kind of him, he was worried for her after what grimmjow did
>>285238678Ending 26 is so beautiful, I don't blame anyone who became an Ichirukifag just because of it.
naruhina rightfully won and ichiruki should have won too but kubo did all his good pairings dirty tbqh>unohana x kenpachi >yoruichi x urahara>ichigo x rukia >rangiku x gin >ryuken/isshin/byakuya all lost their wives
>>285241681The thing about Naruhina is that even acknowledging how poorly constructed the couple is, I think a lot of people understood it was the only option in reality. Not because the pair itself was particularly strong but because I think anyone who wasn't explicitly a NaruSakufag just understood that Sakura and Sasuke were going to end up together.This just plainly leaves Naruto with only one love interest.
It's funny how even of this starts as a Bleach thread it ends up being mostly a talk about Naruto.Shows who is the most memorable manga and who just the little brother.lmao
>>285241939This is also true.>>285241909>unohana x kenpachiNot a thing, ever.>yoruichi x uraharaFuck buddies at most, no knot to tie with them.>ichigo x rukiaFriends for life.>rangiku x ginTragic love story ended the way tragic lovestories do...tragically.>>ryuken/isshin/byakuya all lost their wivesThose aren't even ships, their wives were dead before the show even started.
>>285241770Their kid would be just as if not even more broken than boruto. So whats the point
>>285241864>renji was a dick to her when they reunited for the first timeFrankly he was a dick to her for the whole show but at least the first time I understood he knew she'd definitely be executed if he didn't bring her back by force, and that ended up passing regardless.
>>285241996Ay relax this is a chill thread.
>>285241939kishimotos biggest mistake with naruhina was not giving them a moment after the pain fight, in which hinata almost died trying to save naruto after confessing her feelings. even if naruto didnt feel the same he could have thanked her and told her "im happy you feel that way" and then have him notice her more making naruhina feel more organic >>285242057>Not a thing, ever.yeah not officially but people started shipping them after their fight because of the writing>you are the only man who could make me happy
>>285242057Good job describing how Kubo ruined all his good ships, you just proved that anon's point.
>>285242139Pretty much yea it was silly since he was aware of her even before he snapped.
>as nodt fight>rukia starts thinking of people she holds dear>doesnt think of renjiwhat was kubo thinking when he wrote this
>>285239356>>285240140I am grown ass man , and i have watched numerous animes not once did i ever care about the romance.When it came to naruto i was actually mad he did not get with sakura. Feels wrong because it is one sided and thats not how most relationships come to be irl , at least for me i never liked my gf romantically she just grew on me with her personality.
>>285242731I was never a fan of Narusaku because I never liked Sakura beyond her looks, but I was never convinced by Naruhina either. I always saw Hinata as a consolation prize for Naruto.
>>285242057Zaraki x Unohana was definitely a thing, retard. Even Hikaru Murata, the TYBW series director, talked about it in an interview
>Shipping crapAre there women on this board? Fighting is the only thing that matters.
>>285243493>he thinks only women care for shipping kek remember how the board was when rem got btfo in rezero
Studio Feel also does a lot of blatant favoritism in their adaptations. In Oregairu S3 they cut a lot of the scenes for other characters to focus on Yui and in Summer Pockets they butchered every route other than Shiroha's and then started putting her into scenes for the other heroines.
>>285243529Sorry. Women and/or faggots.
>>285242916She was a bitch but its just that they look so good.
>>285243675Damn, that sounds rough.
>>285241368Is more plausible in the manga because Neji saw Naruto summoned the power of a raging demon and matched it equally. Naruto lost cause he would go for mutual kill as squad leader
>>285241492Its pretty obvious in the manga that all the adults had to stop Neji from killing Hinata, and Guy is a single dad raising a stepson. The end of the chunin exams had the proctor getting tires of his ramblings and thanking God Naruto shut him up.
>>285243529That wasn't just people shipping Subaru with Rem, it was out of character and made no sense why it was happening The only conclusion that makes any sense is that the author was being a dumbass and wrote a compelling relationship on accident, then instead of doing something reasonable like revising the story to have that be the new route, or cutting out the relationship with Rem and changing Emelia's character so things would make sense, he just went and published the fucking first draft.
