About

The story

Raised by her brother Sora after running away from their parents, Orihime has lived alone since his death and attends Karakura High School with Ichigo. When Sora returns as a Hollow, she is rescued by Ichigo. Her exposure to the spirit world then awakens Shun Shun Rikka, six spirits bound to her hair clips.

Orihime accompanies Ichigo to rescue Rukia and later develops healing and protective abilities capable of repelling phenomena. Kidnapped by Ulquiorra on Aizen's orders, she is rescued in Hueco Mundo. She later participates in restoring Ichigo's powers and fights alongside him against Yhwach, protecting his advance.
