“What I’d Give to Watch This” – New Orihime Fanart Leaves Bleach Fans Hoping for a Filler Arc

As the third cour of the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime approaches its premiere, fans of Tite Kubo’s series have taken to social media. Amid this excitement, one piece of fan art featuring Orihime Inoue has caught significant attention.

This fan art showcases Orihime in a Shinigami outfit, reminiscent of her love interest, Kurosaki Ichigo. Fans have strongly urged Studio Pierrot to create a filler arc in the Thousand-Year Blood War anime that explores this scenario further.

Orihime is a beloved character, and a filler arc featuring her in the Shinigami ensemble could resonate well with viewers.

After seeing the fan art, numerous Bleach enthusiasts expressed their eagerness to witness Orihime wearing Ichigo’s Shinigami outfit in the anime. Some fans even envisioned scenarios where Ichigo is transported to an alternate reality, swapping lives with Orihime.

“what id give to watch this anime,”one fan said.

“NGL, a filler arc where Ichigo was sent to an alternate reality and he finds out that him and Orihime swapped lives sounds pretty dope!,”another fan said.

Others proposed alternative ideas for the imagined Orihime filler arc. Given her love for bread, fans suggested a storyline where she protects the “bread society,”reminiscent of how Ichigo defends the Soul Society.

An additional fan mentioned wanting to see Ichigo donning Orihime’s iconic outfit from the Thousand-Year Blood War series.

“using her powers to protect the bread society im sure,”another said.

“now we just need ichigo in her outfit,”another added.

However, some critics took the opportunity to poke fun at the anime franchise.

“Holy mid timeline,”another fan said.

A One Piece fan humorously dubbed this imagined timeline “Holy Mid Timeline,”implying that it could be rather lackluster. Nonetheless, Bleach fans offered a different perspective.
