I have watched Bleach till episode 141. And many things are annoying me. Bleach is disappointing me so much. Firstly, The MC gets cooked at the beginning of every single battle he gets into. Secondly, this anime has romance. Thirdly, they shipped Ichigo with Orihime. Fourthly, I understand that Orihime tries to help her friends & Ichigo but she ends up being a burden or creating more trouble. The only thing she is good at is healing. She's absolutely useless in battle.

About the third one, if the author was gonna ship Ichigo with Orihime, then why would you even do all this drama between Rukia & Ichigo??? I think the author planned from the very start of the series that he was gonna ship Ichigo with Rukia but then later changed his plan and shipped him with Orihime. I mean why did he change his plan, man? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Just stick with the first one!

In this context, "shipped" comes from the word "relationship" and is slang used mostly in fan communities or casual conversation. It means that someone supports or wants two people to be in a romantic relationship, whether they're real people or fictional characters. [Credits to ChatGPT for this explanation]

I haven't watched bleach in a while (20 years?) but was there any actual romance between Ichigo and orihime?

As of now, I have watched only till episode 150. So far, she only tried to kiss him once, although she didn't kiss him at the end. Orihime dir confess to Ichigo while Ichigo was sleeping. So far, there's no direct response from Ichigo. And I heard that in future episodes of Bleach, Orihime and Ichigo get married. Although, I can't say for sure since It haven't completed Bleach
