E...I wanna change.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Ulquiorra.

Here I come... Here's whatyou wanted to see...

My Hollowfication!

Come back here!

Damn it...! How far doeshe intend to go?!

Is this

above Las Noches's ceiling?

That's right.

Two things are forbidden belowthe ceilings of Las Noches.

The first is Gran Rey Cero,a Cero that exists for an Espada.

And the other is

the sword release of an Espada thatis ranked cuatro and above.

Enclose...

Murcielago!

Don't be flustered.

Hold your stance.Extend your consciousness.

Don't let down your guardfor a moment.

It's not possible...He's too fast.

This can't be happening.I went into Hollowfication...

But I couldn't react at all...!

The power of your so-calledHollowfication has increased.

You've also increased the length oftime you can produce that mask...

But I never thought I couldbreak it so easily...

How unfortunate.

Watch closely...

I can see it.

A hole...

opened up in the sky.

So that sky really was fake.

Inoue-san...

I'm glad you're all right.

I shouldn't say it yet.

It'll be all right.

Kurosaki...will win.

I will truly be able to say that

when you defeat him,

Kurosaki.

Ichigo Kurosaki.

Fire your Getsuga.

Fire it at me.

That is your most powerful form, capableof even holding up against an Espada.

And Getsuga is your mostpowerful technique...

Fire it now and show it to me.

I will demonstrate ourdifference in strength.

You want me to unleash Getsuga...?

Don't get smart with me!

You didn't have to ask...

I was going to doit anyway!

Getsuga...

Tensho!

Just as I thought...

You are, after all, merely human.

He's...unharmed?!

Your black Getsuga is indeedvery similar to our Cero.

Cero? Don't compare it tosomething like that!

I see. Then you haven't seen it yet.

Since this is your last chance,I will show it to you.

This is the black Cero that anEspada in release mode

unleashes...

Cero Oscuras.

Inoue-san!

What was that?What happened up there?

Ishida-kun.

Is it possible to lift me above thatceiling, using your powers?

At the time,

I couldn't refuse Inoue-san's request-onethat I should easily have anticipated.

Please...

I would soon

regret that decision.

Damn...

Do you understand now?

No matter how closelyyour form and techniques

resemble those of an Arrancar,

the difference in power is as farapart as heaven and earth.

Imitating Hollows is areasonable path to follow

for humans and Soul Reapersseeking to gain power.

But you humans will never catch upto Hollows for all eternity.

Getsuga...

I told you it's useless!

Why won't you let goof your sword?

You've seen how great thedifference is in our powers,

yet you still think youcan defeat me?

Difference...in power... So what?

You...think I'd give up...

just because you're morepowerful than me...?

I knew you were powerfulfrom the very start.

At this point, nothing changes...

No matter how many timesI see how powerful you are.

I...

will...defeat you!

U-Ul...qui...orra...

Nonsense.

Ichigo Kurosaki...

Those are the words of someonewho does not know true despair.

If you don't know it,I will teach it to you.

This is what true despair is like!

This is incredible.

I learned this when I wentthrough Garganta.

I realized along the way here that I coulduse this in Hueco Mundo, as well.

If I had realized itjust a bit sooner,

I could have applied itin battle, too.

Ishida-kun...

Wh-What is that?! It came fromabove the ceiling...

What is this?!Is it Spiritual Pressure...?!

It's too different...

It's unlike any Spiritual PressureI've ever experienced before...

It's not just powerful or huge.

It's a different sort.

Thick and heavy, enough tomake me aware that it's

something different thanSpiritual Pressure...

If feels as though there's an oceanspread above the sky.

I've never...

This isn't good... Let's hurry!

Resurreccion Segunda Etapa.

Among the Espadas,

I alone have made thissecond-stage release possible.

I have not even shownLord Aizen this form.

He has witnessed my form, andyet still has the will to fight?

He is not so confusedthat he feels no fear...

But neither are those the eyes ofsomeone who has given up on life...

Does it mean he believeshe can win...?

Fine...

Then I will make you understand, evenif I have to turn your body into dust...

...to do it.

Such imprudence, Ichigo Kurosaki.

To throw down the gauntlet againsta frighteningly superior opponent

is beyond my comprehension.

If it is because of what youpeople call "heart,"

then because you possess"heart," you humans

suffer injuries...

And because youpossess "heart,"

you lose your lives.

I'm not necessarily fightingbecause I think I can win.

I'm fighting because

I must win!

Such nonsense.

I don't sense Kurosaki'sSpiritual Pressure...

Where is he?

So you've come, girl.

Kurosaki-kun...?

You're just in time.Watch closely.

The moment the lifeof the man to whom

you've entrusted your hopescomes to an end.

Stop!

What'll we do...?

Kurosaki-kun was supposed to be in chargeof this week's preview, but he can't...

Girl... I shall takeover for him.

Okay! Then please dance wearingthe Afro wig and glittery dress,

just like Yoruichi-san didin the ending credits!

...Huh?

Arrancar Encyclopedia

Today, we'll talk about Ulquiorra.

OSMURCIELAGO

His sword releaseis "Murcielago."

And, amongst the Espadas, he is the onlyone who has a second-stage release.

That form is...

Huh?

I haven't even shown itto Lord Aizen.

There is no way I wouldshow it to you.

Hold on a second!

Now...show it!

Never!

You're desperate, aren't you?
