Spoiler for for ulq/ichigo fight... ichigo's interest seems in something else..:

Ichigo said to Ulquirrora that he is surprised that he's drawing his sword against him already. He then ask Ulq if he considers him a worthy opponent. And Ulq told him at the very least. Ulq then says he considered Ichigo as an opponent that needed to be destroyed. And Ichigo answered that's already enough.

Ulquiorra : I'll use my sword
07
Ichigo: I'm amazed, didn't expect you to draw your weapon from the start
Ichigo: Initially, my thoughts were to force you to do that.
Ichigo: So my conclusion is that you think I'm a worthy opponent now?
Ulq: Well, at least
08
Ulquiorra: I admit that you are one that need to be destroyed
Ichigo: That's all I need to know

Can you say it's the same ichigo we know who fights for his friends sake o_o he asks ulq if he considers him a real opponent…just attack him already , do you really need to hear his opinion on you >< I can't say that he's really here for orihime's life only…it seems he was eager to fight ulq more than anything >.>

Their chances are limited now..it'll be either during or at the end of the fight, and I doubt something new will happen..you know ichigio's famous smile he always gives nel and orihime.. Would we see something new in the upcoming fight.. I hardly expect that..
