Why do people hate ichihime? Why can't you guys just face the facts that all ichigo and rukia had was a good friendship? Just because you feel they should be together doesn't mean that's how the story went or was going to go. Kubo himself said this is what he wanted, now does the ending suck? Yes but the pairings aren't the problem. Also you can't compare this to the naruto situation because kish had his manga go one way and in the end switched it to go the other. While Kubo had his manga/story go the way he always wanted. now we can argue if(fullmetal alchemist had a good way of Ed and winry showing their love for each other at the end) it was done correctly but it's still the way Kubo wanted to go and he didn't contradict himself left and right in interviews. Also comparing Orhime to Hinata is dumb because unlike Hinata Orhime actually spent lots of time with ichigo and is a major part of the story unlike Hinata, and Ichigo when full hollow for Orhime because he wanted to protect her. He let himself become a monster just to protect her and during the final battle he didn't call for Rukia to back him up he called for Orhime and told her to keep her shield out. I mean he even asked her did his half hollow half soul reaper form scared her.
Because anything in manga not showing why Orihinata became Ichigo's wife, he didn't showed any intrest in her in romantic way, same as Rukia did not to Renji, comparing those two are really easy, both are same type of character, and in the end didn't progress anywhere from their <Notice me senpai> character. So what if Kubo went with his idea till the end? Does it makes last arc better? Or does it answers whole bunch of questions that wasn't adressed at all in the ending? Or does it makes ending pairings better? NO IT DOES NOT
Ending is bad, and those pairings without proper development only doing it even worse. This novel about wedding is "the last" all over again. If you happy about Orihinata and Ichigo, just write it, no need to write whole essay about why people musn't compare and etc.
