Maybe that only happened in the anime. I never could read the whole manga. I did check into the manga for a while for the Fullbring arc, but that was... ehhh....

But yes, that is another reason Orihime sucked, and it's why I didn't ship IchiHime. Her literal only purpose was to stand around be all "omg i love ichigo, pls notice me". Their relationship wasn't even written that well either. He just saw her as a friend, equal to Chad and Uryu, yet sometimes I felt like he paid more attention to the latter two than to Orihime. When he went to the Soul Society, it was specifically to save Rukia, nothing else. That was his one and only goal. When he went to Hueco Mundo, his goal was not saving Orihime, and he got distracted by wanting a rematch with Grimmjow. And then that stupid moment when he was getting his ass kicked by Grimmjow again, but apparently all he needed to turn the fight around was for Orihime to yell "Don't die, Ichigo!" It's like "Oh! That's what I'm supposed to do! Got it, thanks for the reminder, Orihime!"

2.1 That was, indeed, Qrow using it strategically, but it can also make things happen when there's not as much of a cause for it as Qrow leading Tyrian to the damaged plank.

In New Challengers, the bartender randomly knocks a glass in the floor by accident, indicating that Qrow's Semblance may be able to cause momentary clumsiness.

During the Qrow vs Tyrian fight, the wooden beam that nearly fell on Ruby didn't really have anything trigger it to fall. Ruby didn't bump into the wall or anything. She just slid to a stop conveniently in the right spot for it to fall on her, and then it just fell over all of a sudden.

There was also that moment where Qrow propped his feet up on the coffee table and it randomly broke and dropped his coffee mug for no reason other than misfortune. They even had Nora quip "Good luck with that" with a smirk on her face (which was awesome).

2.2 Indeed. I feel like, if it affects all Maidens, they would've shown us Vernal getting hurt too, but they only showed Cinder getting hurt. They showed the light filling the entire room, and a good indication that the SEW powers are not limited to affecting what's in Ruby's line of sight is that the Dragon was affected despite not being in her line of sight. Furthermore, for the time being (if Weiss getting impaled really wasn't a hallucination/illusion), it appears that Vernal was still fighting Weiss, considering someone had to have thrown her to the floor. 1. I only watched the anime too. (I read parts of the manga, but not the whole Hueco Mundo Arc). Ichigo dies, Orihime tried to heal him and Ulqui said that he had killed him in a way that didn't allow her to use her powers (something like that), so Orihime did the only other thing she knew how to do: say "Kurasaki-kun" over and over again and somehow Ichigo comes back to life in a hollow form because reason

2. Yeah, I knew all those situations. I just think they are small instances of bad luck, not all that significant for people to expect that his semblance would play a big role in the battles that are happening. Specially when we don't know how far is the reach of his semblance
