That.... was not a cool chapter. Ichigo comes back alive squeaky clean. That's just not cool. On the upside, someone actually died and maybe we'll finally get back to the captains and espadas.... or we can just go back to Yammy.

Ulqy finally died. ;A;
Ichigo is too stubborn sometimes, but that's just how he is. Do I sense some *thing* between Ulquiorra and Inoue?

That front page was awesome. I'd forgotten how busty everyone was. Well, except poor Rukia.

Wow, what a bad chapter that was. Not impressed at all. I was totally hissing and ready to scream bloody murder if Ichigo's arm and leg had been cut off to make the fight more even. Does that guy even realize what he's saying anymore? What a nob.

I am so happy, Ulquiorra is finally dead! The end of the fight was very lame, but it's not like I was expecting anything :/

Can we just forget Yammy again and get back to Stark's fight? Please?

"This isn't how I wanted to win!"

FUCK YOU! Stop bein' such a little punk bitch! A win is a win, no matter how you look at it, especially in fights to the death!! GRRRRAAAAAA!!!!!!! >:(

Sorry, after I read that line I just had to find a way to vent or I would probably explode. The only thing that stopped me from completely hating this chapter was the cover art and, yes, I do want to drown in that.

dam.....that was unexpected. The ending was kinda powerful to me as he just fades into nothingness. Kinda weird though that Ichigo didn't even realize what happened before it was to late, now if only he can control that hollowed form he will be kick-ass lol.

chapter was 50/50. and now for the next week or 2 or 3 will be boring chapters......oh well just like naruto. the only thing to look forward 2 is One Piece
My bleach collection is made up of: Vizard mask necklace, Soul Reaper Necklace, 3 ichigo plushies (1 shinigami, 1 shikai, last bankai bout to get Hollow Ichigo and Vizard ichigo) a nother bleach necklace, 2 bleach watches, and Ichigo's Bankai Sword (52 inches of real metal).

awww, you're all so mean to poor Ulquiorra. He was my favorite character. I'm soooooooo sad to see him go. I like, cried. If he is really dead that is. This show has ways of making things come back. Also, the way Ichigo was healed at the end really annoyed me too. Hasn't he fought like 5 strong people in a row now? You'd think they'd give him a break

Well, i didn't think the chapter was that good. The whole fight with Ulquiorra wasn't that good actually. It was kinda anti-climatic with how much they built up Ulqy's character. So sad that he's dead now! :(

I really enjoyed how they evolved Inoue's puppy dog eyes to another level. It was not great enough when they spent the last 10 chapters with her being all O____O, but then the 'I'm not afraid of you page', her eyes have never been better.

(By better I mean for comedy's sake, Inoue ruins the manga)
Elsewhere, a somewhat startled Warren Worthington III finds that he has accidentally wandered into an electrified east-side world of post-twist teens and watsui-ing teeny-boppers...

#1 Ah crap, Ichigo looks really tired and exhausted and sad and messed up and it kinda made me feel sorry for him :\ He had to go through all that and now he looks he has little life left in him. It's really frustrating to see him like this. :\

#2 The mouth thing. Isn't it something like, whenever Kubo shows a close up of the mouth of a character before they speak, it means they're lying? I don't remember, read it a long time ago at someone's lj. So, is Orihime really not scared of Ulqui, or is she actually really scared? Idk what to think. Maybe she lied to him b/c she knew he was dying & wanted to make him happy.
Regardless, the UlquiHime was beautiful and touching and I love the fact that Ulqui's last sentence & last look were for Orihime only.

#3 Ulqui taking the sword out of Ishida... they just let him do it like that... o_o'

#4 DAMN THAT COLOR SPREAD O_O KUBO, THIS IS WSJ, NOT PLAYBOY.

I was never a fan of Ulquiora , but that was a pathetic way to end a fight. "We'll just give Ichigo another default win because his emo-ness is too out of control and his hollow side wants to beat the snot of someone". I mean honestly, when has Ichigo ever won a fight without some sort of plot hole or godly power given to a main character? The panda gods are pleased :C

yep. that pretty much sums it up. he didnt even get to kill uri while in his hollow form, lame.
next chapter is probably the return of the giant yammy again. how the heck did he get that big again? what was he doing while waiting in his room when ichigo and rest first arrived

The fight finally ends. Not as awesome as I expected the whole fight to be,but still a good one IMO,at least I enjoy it,even though it's really kind if dragging.
For this chapter:
1. Ichigo just go back to normal after all that is kind of strange and it's kind of something like his fight with Byakuya IMO.
2. Ichigo once again is clueless after been taking over by his hollow form.
3. I guess Ichigo's personality and naive still hasn't really change but that's just him so can't really said much. But seriously,he has to do something about it,can't always like that. Gonna kill your enemy with no mercy.
4. I'm surprise that Ulquiorra actually cares(if I'm not mistaken) about Inoue.
5. Ulquiorra is at his limit after that last blow and disappeared(think this word is more suited that saying his been killed).
6. The Ulquiorra and Inoue scene is quite ok and a bit interesting.

The conclusion to this fight is actually too normal IMO. Let's see how the others fight will turn out.

UlquiHime moment was sweet. It felt a little like fan pandering though. And god damn is Ichigo getting stupid: "cut off my arm and leg so it can be equal". His misplaced sense of justice has been grating on my nerves even more than usual these days. As for the color spread, I didn't like it. The way Kubo drew Rangiku was not to my taste at all. The hat just made her look like a cheap stripper. And WTF, Hime's in a bikini and earmuffs?[bias] Rukia was cute though [/bias].

i'd like to know how he regained his human form? did he have another internal battle without realizing it? and just like that ulqiourra is gone... just dust in the wind, or ash would be more accurate, and it seems he really like orihime

My feelings in regards to this chapter: LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Good Riddance, damn. Ichigo's turned into even more of a bitch, and Ulquiorra went out as a hero. What the hell is with that? "I'm not afraid of you..." "Cut off my arm and leg so we can be even!" Oh Lawdy, that was great. Bring on the Orihime x Ulquiorra doujin in full force.

I'm SO frustrated with the note this fight ended on after being hyped up for so long, then skipping to Defend Karakura, and when it finally begins it goes NOWHERE forever, and it suddenly ends in the most overly ridiculous way possible. Why do I come back? I swear I'm a masochist. That or I just hope Kubo can start writing like he did back in Soul Society. Ah well, at least the color page spread almost made up for the recent trainwreck.

TL;DR: RAGE RAGE RAGE

Wat ulquiorra did to ishida was plain ouch, hes making ishida die faster. Im surprised how bleach lacks so much common sense, I mean 1 would have thought someone would bleed to death wif all the lack of innards or blood lost. Now something random, when ulquiorra dies, where does he go? I mean he was killed by ichigo's hollow, so a hollow killed by a hollow ends up in ...?

just for the second colored page [yeah Rukia's kinda out of place but she's sexy too..in her own way *cough*]
for the maskless long haired Ichigo ...that was just too smexy <3
and for the fact that Ulqui died..

Maybe we can move onward to some of the other charas' fights..

What the hell was that??
23 pages about Ichigo returning to himself and Ulquiorra disappearing? The only worthwhile pages were 2 and 3 :)

Too many pages for nothing really, I wonder how the anime is supposed to continue going without too many fillers if the manga chapters are so lame in content...

Anyway, now we continue having Ichigo as new for more ass-kicking (hopefully)
I really hope the Vizards appear, and the forces regroup because I really hate scattering of characters, it confuses and makes me forget what is happening to each of them

Obviusly had to ended like this. Kubo made Ulquiorra too way fucking emo, he was too arrogant, people wanted to die like: "OH MY GOD I WAS DEFEATED BY SOMEONE LIKE YOU" plus something along those lines or that is what i was waiting to end. This was a pretty good ending for him if you see it that way.

So in the other side, once more happens shit that you can't understand, hollow ichigo fought once more, and ichigo doesn't have an idea of what he did. I mean What the fuck. He should rape Inoue at least once. I expected more from this fight, even the Grimmjow one was better. I hope this gets better with the captains plot otherwise is gonna get more stereotypical than it already is.

A: He's a Hollow (Okay, fine. Arrancar)
B: All his internal organs were destroyed. Read as: Impending death, where as he should have already been dead, but KT Bleach magic kept him alive long enough to "kill" Ichigo and remove the blade from Ishida's gut thereby killing him quicker as common sense is not terrible prevalent in this manga.
C: Upon the stroke of midnight, he burst into dust!

Ulquiorras Segunda espada is a double edged skill
and I think it takes the law of a bat vampires. THE ASH
I got a feeling that the next chapter will be ulqiorra's past.

Even though I didn't really like Ulquiorra it's sad that he faded away into nothing. It's annoying that Ichi came back squeaky clean. You'd think he'd have some sort of battle scar. I didn't mind this chap to much though. Now lets move on and see Aizen again!
