Orihime Inoue is MORE IMPORTANT Than You Think

I feel that Inoue Orihime, though very obviously important to the story of Bleach, is neglected by readers as nothing more than another useless female character. Her only powers are that of healing and she doesn’t play a major role in terms of attack, and one of the longest arcs in the entirety of Bleach and arguably in Weekly Shonen Jump is predicated upon her rescue. As such, the label of “useless” seems to follow her around…but is that really the truth? Is that all that she is or is there more to the character than anybody seems to understand? Is she nothing more than a useless damsel in distress, or is she possibly one of the most vital characters to the core of not just Bleach but also the development of Kurosaki Ichigo who is changing the world of this story with his very actions?

This is Inoue Orihime, a girl who is more important and stronger than you think.
