I bet we got this ending because the publisher forced Hiro to play it safe because of the Bleach and Naruto controversies. So this is the salty IchiRuki and NaruSaku shippers fault, the ones in Japan at least.
Not at all. It would have made total sense for Natsu and Lucy since it was hinting at it from the very beginning. People were mad about those in Naruto and Bleach because those were built up and then the author's showed off how terrible writers they are by ending with the wrong couples.
IDK about nardo but IchiHIme was literally THE ONLY Pairing thoroughly built up through bleach. As early as Arrancar Arc was a dead giveaway Kubo is setting those two up.
