her powers are strong if she would use them

But she doesn't so bleg! Rukia can atleast defend herself and fight back!

Rukia is more aggresive, therefore, she can defend herself easier, let alone, she's a strong soul reaper.

she can make shields and other things to stop attacks

So far, Orihime's strength in her powers has mainly been speculation. So Rukia is more strong then Orihime.

Orihime's attacks are actually weak since they can be destroyed rather easily.

HOWEVER with training Orihime could eventually get strong, but I think she would be learning the defense, since that is her. I can't see her engaging in combat un-less she really needs to do so.

So Orihime = Defensive (strong point most likley by her personality)
Rukia = Offensive & Defensive (Defensive less so then Orihime)

Orihime's strength and power..are not dat useful during battles..she can't eve depend herself..and she doesn.t know how 2 use sword.. so KUCHIKI RUKIA is the best

rukia is waayyy stronger than whats her name

Rukia is a soul reaper and soul reapers are ALWAYS stronger than humans.

rukia is stronger from the beginning.

Of course Rukia is stronger since she can kill one of the espada.

thats a dumb question rukia would kick orihime's ass

Rukia is stronger, of course...

Ps. Hime have cool powers :D

Noway Orihime is way stronger!!!!!!!!! and she can heal!!!!!!

DUH rukias been training for awhile o.o

she has good skill
her bankai is the best

She has a Shikai... Sjhes cool

Does anyone really have any kind of doubts about it?

uh not a fair fight because no duh rukia is surpose to be stronger

Clearly Rukia is stronger than Orihime.

It's obvious that Rukia is stronger. She fight more enemies than Orihime. She defeated an Espada guy. Orihime's only useful for healing and protecting people with her barrier. And I agree with the people who said that Rukia is stronger.
