I was confused on what Ichigo actually said in this chapter, mainly whether Orihime actually healed him prior to going down to help Rukia, Renji, & Chad. Thank you for the clarification. So basically, Ichigo didn't know he healed himself by regeneration. He thinks that Orihime healed him, and Orihime let him believe that is the case? Is that right or did I misunderstood it?

I don't think we can say for sure yet. I don't want to believe she healed Ichigo's clothes before attending to Ishida's far more serious wounds, but back on the dome, Ichigo had one bare leg and now he's got his full hakama back. That suggests that Orihime may have started to 'heal' his reiatsu but he ran off to save Rukia and the others before she could finish. I don't like it, and I'll be relieved if that isn't the case, but that's what the evidence suggests. I know KT makes mistakes with the clothes sometimes, but Ichigo going from three-quarters naked to a bit less than half is a pretty big jump.

Oh man. I forgot about the bare leg :O

I assumed Ichigo just woke up and thought Orihime had healed him since he didn't remember anything.

Didn't think she might have actually tried to fix him up. Which also means that she tried to heal him (his clothes actually) over Ishida... Holy.

I'd like to think Kubo forgot the leg... I'm not a huge, huge fan of Orihime but oh yes - come on - let it be a case of KT forgot.

Suddenly I need clarification. Flashbacks to dome would be nice, oh great one.

Yeah, that's what I got after reading the chapter. I don't know what to think of Orihime if she actually try to heal Ichigo first BEFORE healing Ishida's injuries. If that's what actually happen, that would be so wrong, in my opinion. I was thinking that maybe, she was healing BOTH Ishida & Ichigo at the same time before Ichigo senses Rukia, Renji, and Chad were in danger. That would be okay, I guess. But if she actually choose Ichigo, who's not really injured, over Ishida, who's missing a freaking arm and who's been stabbed...We'll I don't know what else to think of her character anymore.

I seriously doubt she'd do one over the other. When those two random shinigami escorts got killed by Ulquiorra when he was kidnapping her, she took care of them both, no problem. And I think she did Loli and Menoli together, too. So I suspect she started them both, then Ichigo felt Yammy and took off.
