What's the deal with all the black panels?! Could have used them for something better. Ulquiorra's release was hot tho.

Ulquiorra's true form is cool, but its form is something you expect to see in american comics like Spawn, The Darkness..etc... not from a manga.
Overall disappointing chapter.

Bah. Kubo's getting really lazy with all these black panels and poorly paced chapters.

this chapter was boring. Ulquiorra's resurreccion wasn't bad, but i think Kubo doesn't have any ideas to make such releases as Grimmjow's.

Sigh... again nothing good in Bleach, so instead of complaining I'll start a little translation section for those not familiar with spanish:

Espada: Sword
Menos Noches: Less Nights (what a crappy name)
Gran Rey Cero: Great King Zero
Arbola: Probably a mistranslation of árbol, meaning tree.
Calaberas: skulls
Murushierago: I suppose is the japanese way of writting murciélago, meaning bat.

wtf is all i can say.
so we got to see Ulqi's release and that's it?!?
to me, it wasn't really that big of a reveal.
i think it could have been pumped up a little more.
the design is cool,
but i was expecting something a whole lot more epic.
this isn't really menacing to me.
he seemed more dangerous when he was just a human form.
the wings are cool, but i was hoping for a lot of the bony stuff just all over him, like a skeleton or something.
that would have been awesome....
i think i'm gonna go redesign his release >3>

It looks cool and all, but I can't get over the fact that after all the hype all he got was a pair of wings. That's pretty lazy.
I hope we'll get to see some cool ability next week.

This is gonna be murder when the volumes are printed. XD Wow, all that ink.

Also, woo, I got the sin right~ It was sloth. I personally think that it was because of Ulquiorra's constant indifference (because sloth is not only laziness, but also apathy), rather than him becoming faster than Ichigo, that it was given that sin.

As for the release. Ulquiorra's...robe bothers me. Honestly, it made me think of a prom dress. Overall it's okay though, I guess. Didn't expect him to be a bat.

For some reason; I want to see Ichigo power up...
Something special about his family line; or something.
That would be pretty cool!!!
Somewhat... Im obsessed with Ichigo's parents being the strongest shinigami's ever found... maybe from one of the four royal houses {I forgot what their real names were...}... I mean; {at least in the anime... dunno bout the manga; couse I skipped a lot of chapters...} Ichigo's father was STRONG. Really strong...
Maybe he will come to the rescue; together with Ryuken Ishida and Urahara, and maybe some others that have not been revealed yet.
For some reason... their whole relationships remind me sooo much of Ichigo/Orihime/Chad/Rukia/Uryuu... -.-'
Right... Ill stop speculating about things that may or may not happen.
But I really want to know about Isshin's past =( As it probably holds the key as to why Ichigo is so powerful... =S
Also; I want to know more about Ichigo's mother... I don't really believe that she was a normal human, at all... (why else would she have protected Ichigo from the hollow?)

...
Im probably missing some stuff from recent chapters that might hold the key for some of my suspicions xDDD

I don't see how Ichigo's inner hollow could defeat the released espada considering the hollow we saw when he joined the Vizards was far from being a Vasto Lorde.
Maybe the combined strength but still it's gonna be some stupid power-up no doubt to enable Ichigo to tap into his unlimited power keg to defeat Ulq.

The release was okay, i expected something else with the "Bind" from last chapter.
Since upto now the release 'word' has defined the release layout, attack type... But I guess we'll see why it's "Bind" later, in 3-4 chapters or so xD

Yes, but even a former captain had to put on a hollow mask to block the full hollow form's cero. And there's no way it could be vasto lorde, since it's just a single hollow. Also, the inner one has also completely dominated both enemies he fought. Of course power-ups are bullshit but we already know his power is enormous.

I just don't know how powerful #1-3 now if #4 Ulqioura is this so much powerful...


AND AGAIN, How powerful Aizen must be if he can control those 4 super-enormous powerful espadas? That's just so unfair.

How powerful must he be? Not much at all, really. Have you considered that Aizen may really be a weak person using his ability to appear strong? Or that he himself is just an illusion? Or that his evil hairstyle he seemed to make just by running his fingers through his hair is?
Honestly, his power is so completely broken pretty much anything could be fake.
The only way he could possibly be defeated is if he lied and he carefully uses some other ability to make it appear like he can create illusions.

Why does it feel like Ulquiorra would be more of the #1. I'm hoping to see what #1-3's forms are.

I like how Ulquiorra's form looks. Its better than the others. the usual skull on his head.

Apparently you don't remember when Ichigo was battling him from coming out when he first encountered Ulquiorra, and Yammy. Ulquiorra said himself that Ichigo's power was shifting from "trash" to "greater than his own". Pay attention more people.-_-

Ulquiorra stated that in his unreleased form. Obviously Hollow Ichigo is stronger than Ulquiorra in his unreleased form.

Besides that Inner hollow Ichigo is stronger than Ulquiorra in his released form, I believe. Inner hollow Ichigo was stated to be so strong that if he took control of Ichigo's body that the world would end.

Definitely a fulfilling release, although better definition against all that black would've helped. One of the first things I noticed though was that those lines running down his face thickened up - and my reaction was like 'wow, he went all Alice Cooper on us'.

Honestly, my prediction is that Ichigo's just going to get the shit beat out of him, and that's going to be the pretext for the warning the Inner Hollow gave before about not dying before he decided to come out again. Due to that, he'll either take over temporarily like he did in the Byakuya fight, or it'll be the method by which a generalized powerup occurs...whether that's just purely strength, more of the hollow abilities, or even something more akin to a Resurrección form (although I think the last option is certainly plausible given the setting, I'd hope that more development be given to diversifying Ichigo's normal bankai form first).

Ulquiorra's release, really cool! Another week to see what it actually is capable of doing, but for now we can see Ichigo's battle is not leaning for the favor of him, even with his half broken mask...

Wow Ichigo is going to get raped. Yea way too much use of black on some of these pages. I wonder how he's going to win and I can't even imagine how powerful Aizen has to be then. The only way I see him pulling out of this is someone saving his ass, I have no clue who as all captains are getting busy getting pwned or he pulls a power-up from somewhere.

So? That doesn't mean it's not what he meant. He said "My own", not "great than this form".o.o

I agree, it makes more sense if he compared it to his full power, not just his current form. Besides, Ichigo's the main character. It's hardly surprising for him to be stronger than Ulquiorra.

Bunch of negative brats! People the chapter wasn't that bad! I do agree it's 'cause maybe I'm reading it with my own pace but I found it good regarding what the Exequias said and what happened between Ulquiorra and Ichigo... Ichigo was clearly overwhelmed with Ulqui's release which means problems for him! and for the mission too! Pretty much means that Ichigo is screwed and has little space to move... Dunno what will he do to win this battle over Ulquiorra. In fact Ulqui is way stronger than Ichigo and we've seen that since ages ago, but now is definite... If Ichigo dun pulls out something really interesting then he's doomed and will likely die to Ulquiorras awesome energy sword....

Ulquiorra = Emo Batman = Pure win... Made me lol hard... Oh and he's release would have been completely awesome if he didn't wear that robe/dress... I found it ridiculous too! XD
