I saw another fanart of them. They didn't even talk. Why are they shipped?

If people ship characters who never met let alone know the other exists, it's one is used as self insert, or they like the possible dynamic between them.
Whilst this is true, too often it happens, since many experienced bleach through the anime it makes sense why this ship is somewhat popular since it was in a filler.
Would it be okay for Goku in GT (who gets turned into an 11-13 yr old phyaically) to date another 13 year old?
Physical age doesn't matter when the mental age gap is so incredibly vast.
A big part of what makes an adult an adult is their life experience.
I mean, personally, i found IchiRuki cute, but i’ll be damned if I didn’t IMMEDIATELY know that Orihime was gonna be Ichigo’s “One.” Still, I definitely think 150, and 15 is NOT a good age gap.
I guess most of the diehard IchiRuki shippers are anime-only since I heard the anime upped the amount of tease between Ichigo and Rukia and also downplayed Ichigo and Orihime.
Even then, for me, I never got that vibe from them. Always seemed more like friends or siblings to me. And Ichigo has been shown many times to be the kind of guy that would do anything, go all out, for his friends/people he cares about, or even just someone random.
Maybe people are remembering from when it aired weekly, because I watched the anime from the beginning of last year and finished a few months ago and I didn’t get that impression.
A precocious one but definitely. Honestly his attitude comes off more as a kid (albeit a smart one) trying to be mature than an adult in the body of boy, specially with his impatience and the way being so sensitive about his height.
I’ve always interpreted his poems (the firework one, the one about deception and shadow of a wing) as being about his conflicts with how the world forced him to grow up, the changes that come with it and his realizing how much he de still wants to grow.
He's written to be a bit like that, but as a teacher, he acts nothing like his "physical age" at all. He is more mature than many adults I know and the times he flips out are totally justified.
12 year olds are extremely immature, people underestimate just how much you develop even in your teens. Hell even until you're 30.
That sounds like a good description of Toshiro before he entered Shinigami college.
Anyway I’m a psychologist (albeit not an experienced one) myself so I get that he is not like the average 12 year old but I do think much of his behaviors is forcing himself to be that way rather than being trully mature at least at first.
Also funnily enough his wearing a scarf simmilar to the one Byakuya used to wear and having a simmilar haircut implies he tends to mimic him.
It's not "for your age", as thay implies we're just talking about two people of the same age but one is more experienced in life.
We're talking about a 14(?) Yr old girl and someone who is AT LEAST 100 years old, if not decades older. And that's not even taking into account his lifestyle of being a very high ranking member in a military at war.
The power dynamic in that relationship would be INCREDIBLY skewed.
A child can have more life experience than an adult and yet still be a child because experience is not the same as mental age which is require to take in that experience. Just look at Yachiru, probably Yushiro, Nel, Momo and Toshiro himself given his tendency to get riled up which goes to show he is not emotionally mature.
Also he is likely not a hundred considering that long ago Rangiku was a child.
There are plenty of adults in both manga and real life notably less mature than Toshiro. Guy only loses his cool during moments that are entirely understandable for even an adult. Like even Soifon is less mature.
A perfect Moment for Toshiro X Karin❄️⚔️🗡❤️. Yuzu will be so happy 😀😍❤️, Isshin gave Toshiro blessing that is if he stop Stealing his Manju, Ichigo will be furious as an overprotective Brother. 😡😡🤬💀🗡⚔️
Everybody is saying Isshin's reaction, but what big brother Ichigo reaction?

Toshiro: “Sigh sir, I would never dream of breaking your daughter’s hea-“
Isshin: “What? I’m not talking about Karin! I’m talking about you stealing more manju from me!”
Toshiro: “You’re still upset about that?!”
Isshin: “Damn right! As for Karin, well, if I were you, I’d be more terrified of her than me if you break her heart.”
Toshiro: “Gulp”
Ngl Hitsukarin is a bit of a guilty pleasure ship for me. Most fans sees it as Ichiruki 2.0 and I don’t blame them but I liked their interactions in the filler episodes.
This feels like Ichiruki 2.0 (complete with a hybrid and an ice person) but damnit I still love it.
If Hitsugaya ever has a growth spurt and Karin feels like moving to soul society then it should work
I mean, it's pretty understandable when like half of the cast (or more) are part of fantastical immortal races, and the protagonist is a dude. It's like Western fantasy's obsession with pairing a generic human dude with a hot elf chick who is thousands of years old, it's just a fun thing to think about.
Not defending it though. I generally find shipping a character under 15 years with anybody is weird. Kids that age don't have the mental capacity for romance.

Isshin: I will only give you my blessing if you give me back my manju, Toshiro!
Toshiro would probably be surprised that isshin remembers that of all things
Bro this hilarious 😭😂 Imagine toshiros reaction
https://preview.redd.it/9hlgfi66wuvc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5d7f00cc73c0e800976e55777489311fb0a01f14
Considering he saw Toshiro as a son, we about to see SS burning from Engetsu.
Only a real father in law would test his son with all his might https://preview.redd.it/n7pguu6dgwvc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=814c579c8b44d5346c86711f76ea34ee7878547c
Takamura just came back and we already have cross fandom memes of him
Where this panel is from?
sakamoto days
Isshin:I’m going to kill who ever that boy is. Toshiro:Yo. Isshin: You can call me Dad any day now! Ichigo:The fu——
Underrated ship.
Pedophilia ship.
I saw another fanart of them. They didn't even talk. Why are they shipped? https://preview.redd.it/xcamcr3d0vvc1.jpeg?width=549&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b2eb02c8c1e0762f209c57e9ec8231fe2c75972e
They hang out for like a whole filler episode
Two filler episodes iirc
which fillers?
People ship anyone together
I searched a bit. I think it's because of this filler https://preview.redd.it/cza7vfd61vvc1.jpeg?width=404&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6d24f2166ca0ef13d9753f0e3f7f425d828a626c
There's also the filler episode (316) after Aizen's defeat where they get teased by Yuzu and Ichigo.
Awww Toshiro is still a cute little teenage male 😂
I love it when Rangiku gets all cutesy like that!
If people ship characters who never met let alone know the other exists, it's one is used as self insert, or they like the possible dynamic between them.
Whilst this is true, too often it happens, since many experienced bleach through the anime it makes sense why this ship is somewhat popular since it was in a filler.
I know, I was simply stating how ships between characters who never met work in general.
For sure

Toshiro is like… a hundred years old. Hell, maybe even older.
The kurosaki women like their men older by hundreds years ig
We don’t even know Isshins real age, sooo, i think you mean they like their men ancient.
People are shipping Ichigo and Rukia without giving a care tho.
Ichi-ruki <3
You may as well ship Ichigo with a 50 year old woman.
Why not? Physically they look alike(ichigo - rukia)
Would it be okay for Goku in GT (who gets turned into an 11-13 yr old phyaically) to date another 13 year old? Physical age doesn't matter when the mental age gap is so incredibly vast. A big part of what makes an adult an adult is their life experience.
Tell that to the people who whine about IchiRuki not being a thing
I mean, personally, i found IchiRuki cute, but i’ll be damned if I didn’t IMMEDIATELY know that Orihime was gonna be Ichigo’s “One.” Still, I definitely think 150, and 15 is NOT a good age gap.
Well at least you paid attention to what was happening in the story, because it was obvious that the strawberry would end up with the bread.
Omg their child is strawberry shortcake....
Ngl that sounds very tasty.
I guess most of the diehard IchiRuki shippers are anime-only since I heard the anime upped the amount of tease between Ichigo and Rukia and also downplayed Ichigo and Orihime.
Even then, for me, I never got that vibe from them. Always seemed more like friends or siblings to me. And Ichigo has been shown many times to be the kind of guy that would do anything, go all out, for his friends/people he cares about, or even just someone random.
Maybe people are remembering from when it aired weekly, because I watched the anime from the beginning of last year and finished a few months ago and I didn’t get that impression.
Even than there was absolutely no romance between them, just more platonic bonding. They did make Orihime worse though
Mentally everyone in soul society is probably their physical age though
You mean to tell me Toshiro acts like a thirteen year old or so?
A precocious one but definitely. Honestly his attitude comes off more as a kid (albeit a smart one) trying to be mature than an adult in the body of boy, specially with his impatience and the way being so sensitive about his height. I’ve always interpreted his poems (the firework one, the one about deception and shadow of a wing) as being about his conflicts with how the world forced him to grow up, the changes that come with it and his realizing how much he de still wants to grow.

Also funnily enough his wearing a scarf simmilar to the one Byakuya used to wear and having a simmilar haircut implies he tends to mimic him.
But thats speaks more to him needing to grow up fast by SS standards. By comparison he's experienced much more than 99% of the human race.
Definitely but experience and relative maturity for your age doesn't imply a higher psychological age.
It's not "for your age", as thay implies we're just talking about two people of the same age but one is more experienced in life. We're talking about a 14(?) Yr old girl and someone who is AT LEAST 100 years old, if not decades older. And that's not even taking into account his lifestyle of being a very high ranking member in a military at war.

Isshin will call Toshiro his son.
Sweet :3
A perfect moment.

“Time to ask Rukia if I can *legally* beat a captain to death”
Isshin: I'm watching you little boy, better be on your best behavior or else you'll regret it
Toshiro: “Sigh sir, I would never dream of breaking your daughter’s hea-“ Isshin: “What? I’m not talking about Karin! I’m talking about you stealing more manju from me!” Toshiro: “You’re still upset about that?!” Isshin: “Damn right! As for Karin, well, if I were you, I’d be more terrified of her than me if you break her heart.” Toshiro: “Gulp”
I wish this was canon
I like this.
isshin either happy as fuck or angry as fuck
Well he was happy with rukia😂
fair,he'd prob be happy with toshiro
Isshin will tell masaki that he has another son😂But toshiro was his third seat😂
and he'd proceed to prioritise toshiro over ichigo like he did with rukia
Well, Isshin must have a "cool" personality😂 get it?😃😂😭😁 COOL personality 😂😭🫣🤣 because toshiro is cool literally because of his bankai😭🤣🤓
yes,very "chill"
YESSS my dear friend you get it!😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Great ship, anime haters seething!
Pedo haters seething.

Chief they don't even interact. Even grimmichi got better substance than this.
There were a one or two filler episodes that shipped them together.
Awwwwwwwwwwww!
What is with this sub a shipping people with ridiculous age gaps? Toshiro is a full on adult compared to Karin, same with Rukia and Ichigo.
I mean, it's pretty understandable when like half of the cast (or more) are part of fantastical immortal races, and the protagonist is a dude. It's like Western fantasy's obsession with pairing a generic human dude with a hot elf chick who is thousands of years old, it's just a fun thing to think about.
Not when the human is a child..
Not defending it though. I generally find shipping a character under 15 years with anybody is weird. Kids that age don't have the mental capacity for romance.
