Orihime Inoue Quotes

“If I were rain,
That joins sky and earth that otherwise never touch,
Could I join two hearts as well?”
― Tite Kubo, Bleach, Vol. 1

“Don't die. Don't die! You don't have to win. You don't have to keep trying! Just don't get hurt anymore, please!”
― Tite Kubo

“A princess and a tiger, huh? Such excessive names! Our names mean 'monkey' and 'lewd!' I'm so jealous!”
― Tite Kubo

“It’s over. You will die here…alone, with no one by your side. I want to know…if that frightens you.”
“I’m not afraid. My friends will come and save me. My heart is already…with them.”
“Nonsense. You think your friends can save you? Do you really believe that?”
“Yes.
When I first heard they’d come to save me…I felt a little happy…but I was terribly sad too. I came here so that they wouldn’t get hurt. Why did they do it? Didn’t they know I wanted to keep them safe? But…feeling Rukia fall…and seeing Ichigo fight…I realized I was wrong. I just didn’t want Ichigo to get hurt. I just wanted everybody to be safe. When I had that thought…I realized…oh. Those guys feel the same. If any of them disappeared like I did…I know I’d come after them.
Maybe I don’t feel exactly the way they do…but it’s possible to care about others and to put your heart in sync with theirs. To me that’s what it means to have one heart.”
“Heart? You humans toss around that word like it’s nothing…as if it’s something you can hold in the palm of your hand. This eye is mine reflects everything. There is nothing it can’t penetrate. What cannot be seen does not exist. That’s what I’ve always believed. What is a heart? Can it be seen if I rip open this chest of yours? If I crush your skull? Will I find it there?”
― Tite Kubo, Bleach―ブリーチ― 37 [Burīchi 37]

“You should stand back a little, Orihime. There’s not much we can do here.”

“Thanks Uryu…but… I’m sorry. I’m going to stay right here.”

I know. You know you’ll only get in the way if you try to help Ichigo. And…even if you could help him…Ichigo wouldn’t want that. She knows all that. Still, she has to fight to hold herself back. Orihime’s waiting…praying for you…believing you’ll win. You’d better not lose, Ichigo. Or else…you’ll have to answer to me. Win Ichigo!”
― Tite Kubo, Bleach, Volume 19

“Wait! Orihime! Where are you going?”
“To save Ichigo!”
“Wait! He’s fine! The one who kidnapped him was the boss at the place he works!”
“His boss?”
“She said so herself! There’s no mistake!”
“You’re sure it wasn’t some weirdo?”
“Well, sure she seemed weird, but everyone he hangs out with is weird to a degree!”
“You’re right! That goes for me and you too.”
“Huh?! Well…yeah, I guess.”
― Tite Kubo, Bleach―ブリーチ― 49 [Burīchi 49]

“Do you realize? Your healing somebody means they’re gonna get themselves hurt again! You heal Ichigo and he’s gonna suffer over and over again!”
“You’re…worried about Ichigo too.”
“N…no. Hey!!”
“I understand. But…I came to terms with that a long time ago. If Ichigo needs my help for something… I will help him. Whatever that may be.”
“Hmm…and what if Ichigo hurts himself beyond repair?”
“I won’t let him get hurt beyond repair. No matter how devastating his injuries are…I’ll heal all of them!”
― Tite Kubo, Bleach―ブリーチ― 51 [Burīchi 51]

“How audacious you are! This is the type of situation when you say I’d like to see what your parents are like!”
“Heh heh. You’re right. I’d like to as well.”
“… What? You don’t have parents?”
“No. I heard they were really abusive. My brother thought they were going to kill me…so he ran away with me when I was a baby.”
“Oh. So your brother who’s raising you now is your parent! I’d like to see his face!”
“Sorry. He’s dead. A distant aunt is paying for my living expenses right now. She sends less when my grades go down. But thanks to her, I make sure to study. So I’m kind of glad.”
“I’m leaving! You bore me!”
“Huh?!”
“How can you talk about something like that with a smile on your face?? There must be something wrong with you!!”
“No. Cuz…I’ve already been saved. I can talk about these things with a smile…thanks to Ichigo.”
“You’re so stupid! That’s not what I was asking. It’s not like I was listening to you anyways!!”
“I…I’m sorry.”
“Bye!”
“Wait! You’re really leaving?! Look! There are more donuts left!!”
“I don’t want them! I’m tired of eating them! If you want it, you eat it!”
“Thank you…Riruka! I knew you were a nice person!”
“You’re such an idiot.”
