What's the extent of Orihime's powers?

[DBZ4life]

well i think she can heal hiyori's injuries but i dont think she can take da vaizards powers away or get rid of dem even if she has da power to reject, but i might be wrong but she doesnt have a reason to do it n da vaizards wouldnt want to lose their powers either.

i think that if they died in a shorter time from the present it would be easier for example a broken arm might be harder to heal if it was years ago but a dead person that died a second or two ago might be easier.and it might have a limited range.

Who knows what the extent of Shun Shun Rikka is? Many assume Orihime's weak so her full powers don't seem to be developed yet, due to being left out all the time. Most likely she can put Hiyori back together. If Shinji was relying on her return, then it's probably a definite since Hachi can't at the moment (missing an arm).

I know Orihime's powers are 'event rejection' right? Mostly used for healing.
I'm just wondering how far can she stretch her powers. She managed to heal Grimmjow's arm but could she really fix Hiyori after Hiyori got sliced in half?

If she COULD fix Hiyori, could her powers of 'event rejection' possibly be enough to 'fix' all the vizards, ie, reject their hollowfication?

Well, now that is a great question. Theoretically, she should be able to heal the Vizards, that is if they even want to be "fixed". However, that brings up another question. If Inoue is successful in rejecting the Hougyoku altogether, would that, in turn, actually kill the Vizards? I mean, if the Hogyoku was never invented how would Urahara get them to survive after Aizen's process?

Of course she can fix Hiyori, she brought back to life that Arrancar who was turned into ash from Grimmjows Cero.

Also technically she can take away the Vizards powers because she can reverse time, but I dont see any reason why they would want to do that.

Yes, Menoli's body was pretty much in shambles when Orihime essentially brought her back to life.



So, we know that she can stretch her powers at least that far. I would think she should be able to heal Hiyori. My only question is whether there is a time factor involved. However, Ichigo was out for a while before Grimmjow made Inoue heal him after Ulqiorra put a hole through him the first time.

well her powers depend on her resolve i mean she made tsubaki attack a shinigami and didnt want to hurt the shinigami so if she doesnt want do do something her powers are useless that is why most people like chad, urahara, ichigo, have to defend her and because she doesnt like fighting she can never help ichigo out, other than healing him, but if she wants she could probably erase the whole world existence, she just has to put her mind ti it.

This true, as well. Orihime's fairies reflect aspects of her soul. The Manga seems to suggest that their power is based on her emotions. So, if she can control those emotions and focus her resolve, as mare points out, she could possibly have quite an attack.

Well if Orihime could remove hollow powers then they wont need to make new characters to replaced lost captains....

just replace em with old captains!

Theoretically, Orihime can reject any and all events, arake, so if she actually was able to destroy the Hougyoku they might possibly have never left SS. On the other hand, the Vizards could all possibly be dead without the Hougyoku too.

That is one possibility, but then that would bring about another time paradox. Also, if she completely rejected the Hogyoku, Ichigo would no longer be a Soul Reaper; Chad and Orihime wouldn't have gained their powers since they wouldn't be exposed to Ichigo's reiatsu; Uryu would still be seeking revenge for his grandfather; the Vizards would have all died when Aizen did whatever it was he did to them; and Tessai, Yoruichi, and Urahara would still be prominent members in SS. Honestly, it would just be easier for someone to wake up and go "That was an odd dream."

Honestly, I think it would be far more logical for her powers to reject the Hogyoku's existence from the present time, but its effects and uses in the past still remain intact. It would probably involve far fewer fans feeling cheated that Kubo recycled another person's idea to end a series too.

Not necessarily. It's not a time thing. Orihime rejects the effects of the event. Ichigo already had a strong reiatsu before he Met Rukia. The Hogyoku (as far as we know) has had nothing to do with Ichigo's power. Rukia may have already had the Hogyoku in her soul when she gave Ichigo powers, but it had already been sealed by Urahara and was therefore not functioning. When Byakuya stripped Ichigo of those powers, he found his own in Shattered Shaft wher the hollow came into the picture as well. So, the Hogyoku itself may not factor in at all. So Chad and Orihime may still have had their powers awakened too. Some of those examples, may be true, but not all logically stand with the info we have at hand.

[nerdywhiteguy]

True, Ichigo did have a strong reiatsu when he first met Rukia; however, if it were not for Urahara trying to hide the Hogyoku, Ichigo's powers would have been a bit more temporary (probably) and Rukia would have recovered quickly even in the real world, meaning that she wouldn't have needed Ichigo for long at all and Ichigo would have been stuck inside his body where his reiatsu was a little bit more restrained. It was because Orihime and Chad were exposed often to Ichigo in his konpaku form that they developed their powers. So while Ichigo would technically be a Soul Reaper, he would not be able to leave his body at all and not be able to develop his powers.

I did think it through, though I didn't mention everything in the first post.

We really have no way of knowing whether Ichigo's powers would have been more temporary. If she needed Ichigo at all (no matter for how long), the result may have been the same. Remember, Rukia did not intend to give him all of her power. It was because he has such a strong reitatsu that he absorbed them all.

P.S. You always think things through, nerdy. That's why I like reading your posts. It's cool to have a discussion.
