The Pairing

Orihime and Uryu are a very popular pairing from the Bleach series. Here are some reasons why I think, personally, they would make a great couple if they got together. First, it seems that Uryu likes Orihime. He knows that Orihime likes Ichigo, but he is still willing to stay by her side and protect her. Second, Orihime, while liking Ichigo, also seems to have some feelings for Uryu that surface from time to time that she is unaware of. And lastly, Ichigo appears to not return Orihime's affections, and she and Uryu resonate on so many levels, so I think they would be a perfect match.

Moments

So here is where I've compiled different moments from both the show and the movies that support the Uryu and Orihime fandom. FYI: This page utilizes dialogue from the dub, so it may differ slightly from the subtitles. If you have any tidbits you'd like to add, just contact me!

Episode # 11: When Ichigo looks at the grades posted on the board, he tries to read who got the #1 spot. Orihime tells him that that's Uryu Ishida, a guy in their class. Later when Ichigo is trying to remember the name of the guy he fought, Orihime pops up behind him and says "Do you mean Uryu Ishida? Yeah, it's a pretty cool name, isn't it? I say his name all the time to myself when I sit next to him in the handicrafts club!" Then she shows Ichigo who Uryu is. She is upset when he is cold to a classmate, and then asks Ichigo if they have a problem with each other.

Episode # 18: Orihime, Yoruichi, and Chad come to Uryu to ask him to help them rescue Rukia. Uryu turns them down, but is affected when Orihime says that she understands and tells him that she feels confused by her new powers but wants to do everything she can to help people. Uryu, in his mind, apologizes for letting her down.

Episode # 23: As Uryu is trying to drag Ichigo to come with them, Orihime pops her head in to ask what is keeping them. Uryu calls to her to help him to get Ichigo to move.

Episode # 24: When Orihime refuses to eat, Uryu gets worried.

Episode # 25: Uryu starts to float away when the group is shot out of the canon, so Chad grabs him and hurls him towards Orihime. Orihime grabs ahold of him.

Episode # 26: Orihime protects herself and Uryu in the fall with her shield. Later, Orihime is unconscious and muttering to herself while Uryu watches over her, having already He bandaged her wounded arm. He then apologizes, worried that the only reason she was injured in the first place was because she protected him. Orihime adamently refuses to let him blame himself, flustering Uryu.
