I think he wants to test Ichigo's powers since the 1st meeting.
Ulq: His power is inconsequential when low and higher than mines when its at its peak(not an exact quote) Then he said during the 2nd meeting when Ulq grabbed Grim and they were going away in the Negacion that Ichigo's had a new power but it wasn't enough to be worried about. Let's also remember that the fight with Grim also revealed to all the espada and Aizen and Co. that he had the powers of a hollow. So maybe Ulq did want to test his powers out and see how strong he is, but at the same time, like Amirali said, he did it in a way that he could explain to Aizen that he fought in self defense. We'll see what the reason was in 2 days. |

But IMO, what gives him the will to stop Ichigo was his dialogue with Orihime (the punch scene). Ulquiorra might just want to understand, or to test, that concern of others' life The UlquixOri takes its roots here : Orihime is over-emotionnal, Ulquy is un-emotionnal. He can't understand her, and that makes him uneasy (at Ulqui's standards ^^ ). Despite all his powers and cold logic, he still feels wrong in front of Orihime. To prove the rightfullness of his philosophy, he has to confront Ichigo and, through him, Orihime. For me, that's why Ulquiorra is such an interesting character. He doesn't fight to become stronger. He fights to prove his truth and to accept his fate (a manufactured pawn with nothing more to do than disappearing in duty). And it's probably why Aizen choosed him to guard Orihime. Not because he was the most "peaceful & obedient", but to give him a chance to evolve. (for what purpose ? Aizen's ways are impenetrable )

I thought it was a good episode, after watching it I'm finally caught up, could someone tell me when Bleach airs, so i know when to check?
I felt all sorry for Szayel with the "Shit! Oh no!" and I was actually pleased when he blocked Renji's attack. I pity people too easily I've been a big fan of Pesche's comedy the whole time, he's just great I think the whole reaction to Ulqiorra was pretty understandable. In my opinion it wasn't just about Orihime, it was more like Ulquiorra went "Your friend's dying. By the way, "I'm the entire reason any of you had to come here in the first place." |

Rukia is hurt and Renji and Ichigo have to go save her ...Never heard of that before....
OK let's skip Renji getting his a$$ owned for the Krillionth time (That's suppose to be a jab comparing him wih DBZ's Krillen--Not sure if i worked^^)...Lets get to the good stuff, which was the last few mins when Ulquirra flips the script...Well this is where Bleach wins....Bleach can be frustrating at times, but where it beats other shonen is in fight unpredictability (As I've said many times)...You never know when WHO is gonna fight WHO, and that's cool...You go into an episode thinking one thing, then "BAM!" it's Shinji vs. Grimmjow, it's Urahara vs. Wonderwice, it's Ururu vs. an Arrancar...And today it's Ichigo vs. Ulquirra now, completely outta the woodworx for my money and it's great...Now you know Nell is prolly gonna transform into this hawt chick arrancar at some point, and maybe we even get o see Ulquirra release...Maybe even Grimmjow sneaks a peek at Gin monitoring the fight and feels he has to butt in...This is the thing I like about Bleach, so bring on the next ep!!

Also, he's always got his hands in his pockets and I do that as well, even while walking.....quite the "pasarela models" we are (You need to know how to do that properly in order to be perceived as a cool guy, some people walk with their hands in their pockets and they look pretty lousy .... you need to keep your head up high, you should walk like a big shot (not a rapper) and your back should be straight in order to look cool......yeahh! ) And yeah I placed a parenthesis within a parenthesis ......ain't that something......

YEahh!!, I concur. Thanks for those wonderful flashbacks m8! Ururu vs that arrancar was the bomb......I truly enjoyed that ep .... I just hope they do an episode where that cute lil pink haired lieutenant of squad 11 fights an espada or something like that..........that'd be cool 2! .... unlikely but cool none the less....

^It would be so great to see almost any other character fight an Espada rather than see Renji get raped again only to pull a win outta his a$$ next week (Or in Bleach time maybe 5 eps from now)...But yeah, Kenpachi's little baby girl was given a really raw back-story only to never fight at all...I suspect this thread would be up to 500 posts in 5 mins if her and Nell ever had to get it on...But yeah like I was saying that's where Bleach wins...I mean this is an endgame level match-up we're about to see...I mean I thought for sure they'd give Grimmjow his shot again, but I guess he will be the final fight guy before Aizen (I doubt we'll ever see a true fight with Aizen anytime in the future though)...I'm just hoping Melting-Nipples-Senpai from SS sends another squad of shinigamis to spice up these matchups since there's so many people to fight...

1) Ichigo vs Renji : Fought 2 times, the first one only being a teaser. 2) Byakuya vs Ichigo: Fought 3 times, the first one being an Ichigo rape , the second being a teaser. 3) Ichigo vs Kariya: Fought 3 times. Ah, wait Bounto arc......maybe I shouldn't use this example. 4) Ichi vs Grimm: Have duelled 2 times already without a victor. Of course, there are exceptions.......Zaraki and Ichi settled their issues first time they fought. I hope it's like that this time. Otherwise this might just be the first chapter in a Ulqi-Ichi rivalry.. |
