The beginning of the death of the IchiOri ship. Men Overboard!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

What did I say? The shippers would be churning over recent developments in the manga. Ever since 237 when Orihime was given such a stirring soliloquy, the IchiOri hopes have been at high mast. I know some IshiHimes who went out and drank over the death of their ship (not I! I  had still had faith) and some IchiRukis who muttered and shifted in their seats and reminded us of the previous 200 chapters of IchiRuki outweighing this one chapter.

Dear Bleach fan, the harbor is crowded. I like fanfic and fantastical imaginings.I like Ikkaku/Nemu as much as the next healthy sex-minded girl, and sometimes RenBaya moves me. AizenUlqui is my 2nd favorite ship. With so many wonderful characters, there's something for everyone. But the guns have always ridden on the big warships--IchiRuki and IchiOri.  And the general belief is that one of these relationships will be consummated in canon (hardly anyone expects an open ending anymore--I don't think Kubo will suggest--he will clarify the above. He may suggest with IshIHime, but he's going to wrap this one up. He's too methodical and too much a shoujo man not to).

What's happened with 270 that everyone is flailing about? There's splishing and splashing men going overboard. It can look pretty silly to an outsider, very confusing to someone who doesn't give a hoot about ships, but I think most people will tell you that it's the beginning of the end fot the IchiOri ship.

I've never attempted detachment when it comes to ships, but not all viewpoints are valid. I can drop clunkers of bad evidence when it comes to so-and-so getting together. But when it comes to IchiRuki, one doesn't have to shake the manga upside down for even a drop of evidence. It's everywhere.

( Oh this is long... I'm bored and full of notions today )

Oh damn. I didn't let it all out. I have to go to the bathroom now. There's only so much a fangurl can ramble. I await the day that there's a  spoken confession from Ichigo to Rukia and vice versa because that's the only thing IchiOris will accept but I don't need the confession. The beginning of the end for IchiOri was 270.
