Best girlfriend for Ichigo

417 duels later, Orihime Inoue remains #1 in the Bleach ranking with 1364 ELO points, with Rukia Kuchiki close behind at 1357.

The top of the ranking is a tight race: Orihime edges out Rukia by just 7 points after 137 and 142 duels respectively, but the real chasm appears below them. Rukia sits 131 ELO points ahead of Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck in third place, marking the ranking's sharpest divide and effectively splitting the contenders into two tiers. Orihime's 69% win rate confirms her standing as the community's preferred match for Ichigo, though Rukia's 66% win rate shows she remains a strong alternative in voter opinion. Nelliel holds third with 1226 ELO and a 51% win rate across 162 duels, while Riruka Dokugamine and Tatsuki Arisawa occupy the middle ground with 1158 and 1114 ELO respectively. At the bottom, Senna trails at 981 ELO with a 25% win rate over 126 duels, suggesting she registers as a distant option in the eyes of voters.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
