Bleach 340: oblique edition

[sincere]

You know, at first I didn't buy into the Ishida-is-forgotten-about vs Ishida-is-gonna-be-important debate, but his continued non-appearance makes me think maybe he really will be important here (or else he's in worse condition than -- well, "as bad a condition as he should be", more like).

Well, for now. C'mon team Ichigo and Orihime!! This chapter was good, but I want to see more semi-shippy suggestions, and I want to see some forward character development.

I'm so glad to see some semblance of Ichigo/Orihime again after, what, six months or something off? My Ichigo/Orihime shipmeter has gone down due to their absence so I'm hoping I get enough inspiration from future chapters to start totally squeeing again ^^

There's so many characters that get left out for huge chunks at a time. I'm thinking someone like Tatsuki will be really important at some point in time. And I'm hoping the Vaizards come back in soon, too XD

Oh, how long has it been since we checked in with Ichigo and Orihime? Too long I say!

Perhaps my shipper side is taking over too much, but I was giddy inside just from Ulqiorra implying Ichigo's fighting better because of Orihime. ^^;

BUT YEAH no I try to hope!

ldkmaslkd Ichigo/Orihime I have such hopes. I'm just like ... ffff at Ichigo getting stronger because of Grimmjow so hopefully it is Orihime, not that... it would make a great deal of sense, either way, if he's able to beat Ulquiorra without help. PLEASE LET ORIHIME HELP.
