Grimmjow is still missing, though according to Kubo there's a chance he'll be back in the last manga arc. Orihime's feelings for Ichigo are still there and have remained there all the time, and Ulquiorra has been dead for a while already.
Ships of Orihime with Grimmjow and Ulquiorra have officially been sunk.
Bleach: Any fan with an interest in seeing Momo and Captain Aizen get together had their ship sunk when Aizen almost fatally wounds her in a poignant Kick the Dog moment as the first act in his Face Heel Turn betrayal of the entire Soul Society.
And even the last smidgen of hope of Kyouko still winding up with Yasuko (or maybe even another girl) gets blown to smithereens when Kyouko is set up to get back with her fiance, Kou.
This ship finally sank for good when Yasuko starts studying in England and apparently begins a relationship with her roommate, who also happened to be the co-star of the School Play Yasuko played the lead in.
Aoi Hana had its share of Yasuko/Kyouko shippers, despite Yasuko's often cold behavior toward Kyouko.
See also Death of the Hypotenuse, where the author takes it one step further by killing off one of the characters instead of making them a Romantic Runner-Up. Another variation, the Anchored Ship, occurs when factors arise that preclude the characters getting into a relationship, but have the potential to be resolved (although the problems are not always resolved, and even if they are, other factors can still sink the ship). Sorry fangirls (and boys!).Ĭompare No Hugging, No Kissing. In any case, it's probably going to take a Retcon to get those two together. If well done, this can actually cause the fans to Abandon Ship, but don't always count on that some ships refuse to sink.Īt its most pronounced, this essentially results in a Humiliation Conga for shippers. It can be a betrayal, a sudden familial connection (not like that will stop anyone), hooking up with someone else, having the respective love interest kick the bucket, or maybe they just bring them out of the closet (or rarely, put them in). Ship Sinking is a scene that, whether deliberate or not, seems to kill any reasonable chance of a relationship occurring between two characters. But whatever the case, rather than teasing the ship, they load torpedoes and send it to Davy Jones' Locker. It may be because of the actions of the fans if they get too rowdy about it, or maybe they just don't like the pairing involved, or maybe they just want to put an argument to rest. Though many producers and writers are aware of Shipping in their respective fandoms, that doesn't necessarily mean they like it. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.
Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.
Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
