Help Ichigo battle against Aizen's forces?

Can they really do anything against Aizen and his Espada's/Vasto Lordes

Nell could stay, she's usefull, but those 2 other clowns could just roll over and die in a shallow grave for all i care.

We´ll be getting a flashback next chapter, Kubo has a tendency of giving villains loads (Or barely, depending on the character) of character exposition after they´ve been defeated be it by flashback, monologues or both, which in this case will probably and Ulquiorra just died in the end of this chapter, he´s still focusing on this part of the storyline.

And Ulquiorra really needs one, there was barely any conclusion to his arc, besides an acknowledgment of interest.

Also, who knew, Ulquiorra actually beat Hollow Ichigo, everyone were shitting right and left how predictable it was for him to lose the fight and that Ichigo would turn back to normal with a fucking friendship hug or something.

Sure he died, but he died in a position of superiority.

I kinda wished he would turn out to be a good guy. =(

I see know reason for a flashback for Ulquiorra, the flashbacks that we have had so far.

Dordonii: showed the reason the fallen Espada became obsolete
Grimmjow: showed the evolution of a hollow
Nnoitra: was more like Nell flashback because it showed the reason to why Nnoitra did what he did to her.

If Ulquiorra gets a flashback let it be 1 page like Dordonii.

to me, as predictable as it is that ulquiorra suddenly changes, there's really no reason why he'd have a change of heart. all along, he was the cold-hearted, emotionless sort of guy. now, simply because he got beaten, or because he saw ichigo's reaction, he decides to become good? don't think it'll happen. him saying he finds them interesting now may be true, but i absolutely do not get why he has to reach out for inoue like that. does he want to be saved? does he like her now? it all just doesn't tally up, for me.

anyway, he'll be dead next chapter, if his current 80% of his body being blown to dust isn't enough. i really don't want him to become good. with byakuya at least it was believable, and byakuya did have a personal stake in his battle.

now, since ulquiorrra is gone, that means that yammi's the only espada left in hueco mundo, right? with 4 captains, ichigo, ishida, chad, rukia and renji, he's done for. then i predict that inoue might go look for the hougyoku, to reject its existence. though i cannot possibly believe aizen might be so stupid as to leave it there for her to do that. i remember last time we were all theorizing on how he wanted inoue to awaken the hougyoku, and later on ishida said that too. but he can't stop her from rejecting it unless he's there, or if he knows that it's existence can't be rejected, which i wouldn't believe.

still, bleach tends to leave lots of loose ends and drag them along for over 100 chapters, till we've forgotten about them. what happened to those two bodies mayuri found? it's been about 50+ chapters. what about what urahara did with tatsuki, asano, and mizuiro? what about that piece of advice hacchi gave inoue (i had no idea what he meant)? i'll bet there's more, just that i can't recall them.

but you know, i didn't mind this chapter. and my question about ichigo's hole was answered too; he did retain the hole ulquiorra put into him, but then it healed itself. though i was expecting inoue to heal it.

I'm not really reading this manga anymore.

Just watching out for those haiku (which are pretty good, by the way).

Oh, and the once in a while boobies.

@Nicholas
Ulquiorra has always admired Inoue. I thought it was obvious the moment he said to himself that Inoue's a strong woman. Probably wanted to touch the object of his affections one last time before disappearing like dust.

. . . . . This manga is going to hell. Its gonna be canceled soon, just like Shaman King. This story is getting nowhere...... quick. It took 19 pages for Ichigo to come back to his sense, notice wtf happened, yell about it, and then Uluquiora to die.coulda happened in four pages, than focus on whats going on with Yami and co. Just no. And when the hell are we going back to the Karakura town fights. Kubo started two possibly good fights, and then gave us this shit......................... yea.

^ please don't go around comparing Bleach with SK. >__>
