Chapter 99

Although Kira has arrived on the scene, Byakuya shows up and demands that he throws Renji in jail, just on the mere basis that he lost. He also asked for Renji’s demotion but it was denied.

A/N :

Nothing important about the pairing issue.

Chapters 100-101

This chapter is where Aizen is seen hanging from a building, dead. Chapters devoted to building the plot.

Chapter 102

Begins with Chad thinking about when he met Ichigo. He been in a fight with a bunch of bullies because they didn’t like his hair.

At the end of this chapter, Ichigo, Ganju, and Hanatarou run directly into Kenpachi’s path.

Chapter 103

Plot building chapter.

Chapter 104

Rukia is at the tower wondering if what Renji said is true.

Ichigo continues the fight against Kenpachi while Ganju and Hanatarou go after Rukia.

Chapter 105

Ganju realizes that since Ichigo sent him ahead with Hanatarou, Rescuing Rukia is top priority. Ichigo really wants to repay that debt, but he doesn’t expect to die like Ganju thinks.

A/N :

Talking about Ichigo's debt again.It seems to me that  Beruhime219 really wants to convince him/her self,that Ichigo is just really doing all of this for Rukia,just because of his debt. 

Chapter 106-114

All fighting all the time. Kenpachi vs Ichigo mostly.

A/N :

Why not talk about this?

 

Ichigo is being persistent of staying alive because he wanted to save Rukia.Ichigo's strong determination to save Rukia,gave him the strength to stand up and continue fighting.His strong will to save Rukia is the thing that made Zangetsu materialize.Oh,yeah,because of his debt? (sighing forever)

Chapter 115

Rukia is reflecting back when she to Kaien Shiba, asking what she should do.

Ganju and Hanatarou arrive to rescue Rukia. Because Rukia killed his brother,

Chapter 116

Ganju refuses to help any more, leaving Hanatarou to battle Byakuya. Ganju has a change of heart when he see how brave Hanatarou is, but they end up failing anyway.

Ukitake stops Byakuya from killing Ganju.

Ichigo arrives at the end of the chapter

By this time, Ichigo knows that she is sacrificing herself for his sake. He doesn’t want that so he’s doing everything short of threats to make her understand.

A/N :

Ichigo is not threatening her,he's just simply telling her that he won't listen to her if she tried to stop him,and tell him to leave her.

Chapter 117

This pretty well sums up Rukia and Ichigo’s relationship: Bicker and fight and nag. He wants to play hero but lets face it, she’s not the type of girl to sit in the corner and scream for help.

A/N :

 
Yeah,it pretty sums up how they truly care for each other.Ichigo bickers with Rukia to make her feel better with the situation.Ichigo is simply trying to cheer her up.Because he was bickering with her,it lessens the tension that she was feeling with the situation.Again,bickering in Japan shows their closeness to each other.Most of the canon couples,be it SHOUNEN or SHOUJO,this is one of the commonly used hint,that they are close to each other.Especially,when the characters are tsundere types,just like Ichigo and Rukia.

Ichigo saying he won’t die yet triggers Rukia’s memories of Kaien saying the same thing. If you notice, the second frame is Kaien Shiba not Ichigo. She is obviously still hung up over killing Kaien.

Byakuya and Ichigo fight but Yoruichi stops it.

A/N :

It's really hard to forget her experience with Kaien.Killing someone that is important to you is something that is very much traumatic for anyone in that situation.Rukia is afraid that Ichigo might die because of her,there's nothing wrong with that.It shows that she is just a very kind hearted person,who doesn't think of her own safety.

Chapter 118

Renji is healing in jail. Zabimaru’s spirit comes to him, telling Renji that he/she is ready to fight again. Renji tells Zabimaru that Ichigo is not the enemy.

Yoruichi incapacitates Ichigo and they escape.

Chapter 119

Ukitake helps Hanatarou and Ganju. Rukia is put back into the tower.

Orihime is seen with Ishida dressed like the other shinigami.

Ishida is an honorable person. He’s not going to allow Orihime to be defiled by Shinigami trash like this guy. By this time, Ishida knows how Orihime sees him. During the flash back scene where they change into the shinigami robes, Orihime tells him that he reminds her of Tatsuki - her very over-protective best friend who happens to be a girl.

A/N :

If the guy is being nice and protective towards Orihime is not Ichigo,Beruhime219 won't see it as something that might have a romantic connotation.Though I understand that it is normal that he/she will keep on trying to see an excuse for Ishida's behavior towards Orihime.It's just amusing that,when it was Ichigo,it always means something different,though their actions are just the same.

Shinigami: I won’t forget this! After this is over, You’re really gonna feel my wrath.

Ishida: Sure thing. Except when this is over, I wont be here.

Orihime gives her gratitude.

Ishida looks like he’s blushing: I just don’t like guys like him.

Still means nothing is going on between Ishida and Orihime. Why? Cus we know she likes Ichigo and she’s not gonna give her heart away to a million guys. Re-occurring theme: Orihime loves Ichigo.

A/N :

But that won't stop Ishida from falling in love with her.Just because she loves Ichigo,it doesn't mean that Ishida won't love her.Also,even if Ishida truly loves her,it doesn't mean she have to reciprocate her feelings.Just like how Orihime loves Ichigo,doesn't mean that Ichigo needs to reciprocate her feelings for him.

Turns out Orihime has strong hand to hand combat skills. 

A/N :

Even though she might have some strength,the problem is her demeanor that doesn't want to fight with anyone,so it's useless,somehow.

In a hand to hand fight, Ishida knows he’d get his butt kicked.

A/N :

This scene is definitely meant for comedic relief,since Ishida won't fight with a woman (that is not an enemy).

“I thought I was with Tatsuki. . .” Says it all.

He’s like a girlfriend!

A/N :

Even though she sees him that way,it doesn't mean that Ishida sees her like that as well.Again,it doesn't matter if Orihime doesn't like Ishida in a romantic sense,Ishida still have the right to fall in love with her.Just like Ichigo doesn't feel the same for Orihime,doesn't mean that she cannot fall in love with him.

He gets the dressing room because he is more prudish about changing in front of people.

A/N :

I don't think it was the reason why Orihime told him to change there,since Ishida said that she is the one who should be using it.

She’s always speaking about Ichigo in front of Ishida. He’s not a fool, Ishida really knows now.

A/N :

Ishida really knows about Orihime's feelings towards Ichigo.It shows in his behavior.

Chapter 120

Ishida knows the truth about Orihime. Her ability is unsuited for the battlefield. The only thing she is meant for is defense.

A/N :

Everyone thinks about her like that.

Chapter 121

Ishida is saved by Orihime’s defensive shield. He attacks Mayuri Kurotsuchi. Mayuri knows that Ishida is a quincy but has no interest in him. He wants to get a hold of Orihime and conduct tests on her.

Ishida threatens the guy from squad 11 and he takes Orihime away from the battle.

Chapter 122

Ishida will defend any woman: He feels sorry for Nemu whom is treated as expendable by Mayuri.

A/N :

Just like Ichigo would defend anyone,since he loves to protect.

Chapter 123-126

Fight between Mayuri and Ishida continues and concludes. Ishida runs into Kaname Tousen and is incapacitated.

Chapter 127

Ichigo fights Zangetsu to learn bankai.

The jail breaks begin. Gin takes Kira while Renji and Hinamori escape.

Chapter 128

Hanatarou is in trouble with Unahana but Ukitake’s 3^rd seats Kotetsu and Kotsubashi have a letter from Ukitaki asking Unahana to be lenient.

Ishida, Ganju, and Sado are all in the medical detention center. They think Orihime is captured. 

Yachiru says Orihime’s spirit pressure is like Ichigo’s and she was able to follow it. Orihime isn’t that weak after all.

A/N :

They both doesn't know how to control their reiatsus,that's what Yachiru meant there.That doesn't imply that she was somehow as strong as Ichigo.In any case,this doesn't prove anything about shipping. 

After talking with the 11^th division and Kenpachi Zaraki, Orihime has found a new group of allies. This is why Ichigo thought Orihime would be more help that Sado and Ishida. For Kenpachi, following this girl will bring him tough opponents, while she gets protection from Squad 11. So there is a benefit between them.

A/N :

Just want to make things clear.Kenpachi had already become an ally right after Ichigo have defeated him,it wasn't because of Orihime.Kenpachi became so much attached to Ichigo after their fight.Kenpachi is already looking for Ichigo,but unfortunately,he really sucks when it comes to directions.Besides,Orihime is the first one from Ichigo's nakamas who came to cross a path,and not Chad or Ishida,so this is not implied as something that is exclusive for Orihime.
