Why did he never have a rival?
Why did he never have a rival?
Jeremiah Wood
Jonathan Gonzalez
Because not even fags could take him seriously
Isaac Rogers
He had no time for that because fuckers kept kidnapping his friends.
Parker Wood
Grimmjow is probably the one that comes closest to a rival character.
Adrian Sullivan
He was written to be an overpowered normalfag chad, so any rival they gave him would have felt weak in comparison.
Liam Lopez
>Uryu
>Renji
>Grimmjow
He kept fucking befriending them. He was doing Tsukishima's schtick before he even existed as a character.
Thomas Myers
bazz b was his rival
Joseph Morgan
Not every shonen battle manga protagonist needs a rival. Jotaro never did and he, along with the series and more especially the part where he's the protag of, is pretty popular.
It's okay if he has no rival as long as he has a villain who is a perfect foil to him and is just as iconic as he is (like how DIO is in Part 3), yet he never did which is a shame.
Charles Scott
this. even ulquiorra. he kept gaining rivals only to become friends. nobody can resist the chad Ichigo.
Jace Edwards
I wouldn't say hes overpowered. He constantly got his ass beat when in the beginning of every arc.
Jack Turner
Because he would beat them, they would move on with their lives
Joshua Williams
He had like 2 rivals per arc
Julian Campbell
because all his potential rivals were hundreds of years older than him?
rivaling a child would require you to be some gigantically autistic fuck.
Michael Reed
Because a rival is typically someone who mirrors the character's views or personality. And Ichigo has neither.
Christian Myers
Because he was Aizen's rival. Aizen doesn't go out of his way to create a superhuman child just for it to be "rivalling" other men. Sounds like NTR to me, bro.
Nolan Miller

Daniel Hall
Because they all became his friends and allies or he reached some level of peace with them which is objectively better than an ambivalent rival.
Uryu, Renji, Kenpachi sorta, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra sorta, etc., were all basically his rivals at various points.

Zachary Smith
real niggas have no rivals
even his rivalry with grimmjow had a friendly feel to it
Wyatt Carter
its more that no one was worthy. niggas were lucky he preferred peace because he shitstomped all of them.
Evan King
Yes but the people he was fighting were fucking centuries old. You can't really be a "rival" with someone who's like 1 thousand years older than you.
Uryu was about the same age as Ichigo though?
