Him and Starrk have the saddest backstories even deaths...
R.I.P. Ulquiorra and Starrk
Starrk's existence is an absolute nightmare...
@@randomcatname7792 I honestly started crying when he got killed, I feel like he deserves better. He and Lilinette don’t really act like villains
@@imgone1360 me too, but it wasn't him I cried for, it was Lilinette.. and seeing Starrk know that his other half was gone
@@randomcatname7792 Something tells me that he let himself get killed because he doesn’t want to be alone anymore. What makes this more sad is that they didn’t want to fight at all, they don’t act like villains since they don’t want to fight. They don’t act like heroes but they act like normal people who just don’t want to fight at all. I started hating on Kyoraku for killing them which is childish i know but when someone kills your favorite fictional character, you couldn’t help but to hate them. They both deserved better
@@imgone1360 yeah it feels the second she died he gave up on life. Almost like she was trying to kill them as fast as possible so they could just be alone together and he didn't understand
That treebranch was all part of Aizens plan
Lmao
All for the keikaku
Pretty sure the idea of his Mask breaking to become an Arrancarr was linked to the fact that he achieved some form of Nirvana and was at peace with himself as he sank into the void. This sensation of inner peace is likely what triggered his transformation and would make sense given that Hollows are created from Suffering tortured souls
I always wish this character would somehow comeback.
Same..
Bleach Center isnt his 3rd ressurection technically him back?
@@takuma8974 i guees. but its only in bbs and its not canon
it would be nice to see ulquiorras 3rd resurrección in the movie hell verse bringing him back to help ichigo with kakuto, idk if im dreaming too much but it makes sense if ulquiorra appeared in hell in that form
Ulquiorra... Please... Why did you awaken the Vasto Lorde!
I don't think that Ulquiorra's mask broke due to a single strong branch. I think that as Ulquiorra walked towards the center of the tree, small bits of the mask broke off as he finally felt content with himself.
Yea, maybe natural arrancars are only created when a hollow can find something to fill the void in them. Starrk became an arrancar when he created Lilynette and Ulquiorra became one when he found peace.
@@TheThundercow your so right barragan still had a void even though he was a king and harribel as well she had her comrades but I don't think that was enough to fill the void.
@@TrueAce2146 Barragan could never appreciate what he had. Harribel was close, her vasto lorde state had some human skin, but she was to afraid to lose what she loved.
@@TheThundercow so true on both of their characters thank you
@@TheThundercow the void thing is supposed to be for Ulquiorra specifically because he is the espada that represents emptiness
If the anime ever comes back, this is the kinda filler we need, not beach party episodes!
if it did come back there would be no reason for fillers.
@@samuraibeluga3749 Just to see cool stories like this that you would never know unless you read Japanese or were hardcore into anime youtubers
@@thelittlebosniaexperience8181 this wouldnt be filler, filler its anything thats not canon that serves just to fill empty space so the anime doesnt catch up with the manga, with the manga finished there no necessity for fillers. the chapter is also known in community you dont need to be super hardcore into anime youtubers or read japanese, the chapter has been translated since as early as 2011.
Hi from 2023.
it did come back
cifer = sifr in arabic = zero / empty / void, which explains ulquiorra's personality and quite possibly his real position in espada
When people tell me "Bleach isn't deep" I present them with Ulquiorra Cifer's backstory. It is honestly one of the greatest pieces of literature I have ever read. I wish Tite Kubo had the chance to adapt this chapter into the anime but I also understand why it didn't happen-- because it's too depressing. The more I've read it, the darker it becomes. "Not Be, But Be" is the absolute embodiment of "a meaningless existence rotting away." Nihilism is a very strong word. Reading this, we understand why Ulquiorra was the way he was. We sympathize with him and it makes us love Ulquiorra even more after death, as we see the sorrow (it looked like tears were forming in his eye) and loneliness he endured for who knows how long. He was a Vasto Lorde wandering around the empty sands of Hueco Mundo incapable of doing basic things even the dumbest of Hollows had the privilege of performing. His past experience is what shaped Ulquiorra to what he was and it all makes sense.
The scene with him and Orihime in Ulquiorra's room is perfect and added to their strange master/servant relationship. Orihime becomes surprised he is able to sleep and then adds the human prefix "kun" at the end of his name which Ulquiorra instantly disapproves and it makes Orihime sad. You can see it all over her face; she was saddened by the very person that captured her because even she could not understand-- as he does not understand her either. And it is because of Ulquiorra's past that he reacts in such a callous way. To quote Ulquiorra Cifer's ideology:
"If such a thing called happiness exists, it should be something which resembles the limitless nothingness. Nihilism is having nothing and having nothing to lose. If that is not 'happiness' then what is?"
Honestly some character that kubo makes are extremely depressing in the gran scheme of things but people usually don't put attention to them a good example is stark the dude literally ripe his soul in too two different beings for the sole purpose of escaping his lonely he represents how human beings barely cope in being to are self and are crushing fear that well never be whith someone and well have a lonely existence
Upto this date, I used to think that Uloquirra is kinda overhyped. But now, I see him is a different guy
One of the coolest things in fiction for sure.
But far from best piece of literature lmao
@@OggerFN "I have ever read."
"I."
:)
opinions
@@aizensosuke965
nah there is no such thing as opinions
Ulquiorra was a sad sad person he deserves to be happy, I wish he lived through the arc
Not gonna lie but Ulquiorra has one of the most saddest backstory in the Espada. A person who was searching for his humanity and what his purpose was only to realize that in his ending moments after Orihime's influence as well as Ichigo's made him understand what having a "heart" could be like as well as the feeling of love and compassion for something/someone. One the best Antagonist in Anime imo.
At first I didn't really feel bad that he was getting beat but his last moments quickly changed that for me. I think it was beautifully done, even though I wish he never died
@@BleachCenter_ig I feel the same way. His final moments really showcased why his character was the way he was at first and how he came to understand what having emotions could feel like. He was able to feel and didn't view himself as nothing.
@@BleachCenter_ig As much as I would've liked Ulquiorra back, he had one of the most perfect character endings in anime.
@@aizensosuke965 i agree 100%. It's just my fanboy side talking
sure but he doesnt stop being a massive ashole up to that point.
The thing is those trees are insanely brittle and weak
Ulquioras existence is incredibly unique and rare and I wish he came back
Bruh I’ve been listening to “nothing can be explained” the past couple of days and the fact that you’re playing the song in this vid really got me in the mood to just start binge watching Bleach again. Great vid btw👍
Read the manga. In all honesty, I think the anime adaptation doesn't capture the proper atmosphere and details of the manga's imagery. Plus all the censorship and what not just make it not as entertaining.
The tree branches are crystallised reishi. Such a big cluster of the trees would be extremely powerful. Powerful enough to trigger Ulquiorra's transformation into an arrancar.
Nothing can be explained is a perfect choice for this story, I love this ost so much. Thank you for covering this chapter! I didn't know Ulquiorra was a natural Arrancar.
Thank you for using my artwork! I drew the smaller Vasto Lorde Ulquiorra you used for the cover
Imagine Ulqiourra appeared at the TYBW arc alongside with Grimmjow and Nel.
or as mayuris zombie somehow..
@@BleachCenter_ig God no.
He would've washed Äs Nödt.
@Hanzo kuraiken, when Tsunade requested help from the sand & gaara, kankuro, & temari showed up as backup to help the hidden leaf ninjas against the sound in Naruto. I see the exact same scenario with Ulquiorra, Grimmjow & Nel doing the same thing against the Quincy's. That's what I would love to see!! Can you imagine what the bleach fan community how/would react to this scene. I'm pretty sure everyone would freak the f@#$ out and be like WHAAAT??!!
Much love to all Bleach fans worldwide. #takemebacktothesoulsociety 🤲♥️🙏
Too hype
Okay, but can we all admire how Ulquiorra broke HIS OWN mask by himself, without even thinking about it? Without Aizen prompting him like all the rest to follow him for it? I'm so sorry if that mad no sense.
what fascinates the most in this chapter is the implication of natural born vasto lorde being present in hueco mundo, i love the implied story shown without the need of dialogue, these VL born too weak to even leave this place, shown by their dark and imperfect forms are forced to eat each other to even survive, but once in a while, one different from the others is born, much stronger than the rest, who immediately gets ganged up by the others, probably in a attempt to eat him so they themselves can have a chance to get stronger and leave this empty place, ulquiorra obviously killed them all or at least a significant number of them and leaves, exeplified by his bloody hands on the next page. it almost implies that hueco mundo developed some sort of will, just like hell, when it became its own dimension, a will that derived from the primordial world in some way, the same will that might have even been responsible for barragans existence.
The one emo we wouldn’t have a problem having around.
Until he drills a hole through your chest
He is not emo he is just sad as hell
I wish bleach didn’t end like how it had to😔
Lee TV pretty sure time restraints caused many corners to be cut.
Skyrogue19 yea ik that but we all wish it didn’t end like how it did
@@skyrogue1977 nah, narita preety much put it all to rest, it was kubo that approached shueisha asking to end it sooner because his health (more specifically his wrist) was getting worse, they gave him a year to end it.
How I feel with Naruto
Don’t lose hope take heart the anime return will fix it
Ulquiorra reminds me of Greed from FMAB. Just a loner with a chip on his shoulder desperately in an unknown need of companionship, and humanity 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Both Ulquiorra and Stark are the only natural arrancars in the Anime. Its literally because they both found some sort of peace that contracts and neglects the chaos, suffering, and primal desire which defines what being a hollow is. Also being a Vasto Lorde, not worried about regressing into a Gillian, helps.
Especially as the vasto lorde transformation results in a lost of memory essentially. Paired with the fact that the more powerful a hollow becomes, the more it resembles a Soul Reaper, that makes being a Vasto Lord a perfect time to starting over into being an Arrancar through finding peace.
Because all that evolution and power from it comes from a better balance against what is currently holding them back.
Hence by the more powerful arrancars balance toward being soul reapers.
I think Ulquiorra finally found his companion which was that white thorny bush. And for the first time he was happy. But he doesn't understand what is it that he is feeling, why did it made him feel relieved. He is a curious being always looking for a reason. And after meeting with Orihime he realized that there are many things that doesn't need any explanation or a reason. This is what I feel I might be wrong so don't come at me.
I know this is old, but I have a theory. What if the breaking of his mask wasn't him becoming an arrancar but in a way limiting his power. And when Aizen found him in that form he thought the same, Ulquiorra being natural. Which is why he had two forms. One being how he was found and his second being his true form and the reason why he never showed Aizen because he was always alone in that form
One of the most interesting characters in BLEACH. I really like him and how he grew at the very end of his life.
One thing Kubo should've done was the cycle of souls. It would've been awesome to see some characters like Ulquiorra who gained a "soul" to be able to pass to the Soul Society and begin a new stage of life.
i loved him so much off his first appearance man like how did u not
Great vid man, Ulquiorra is my favorite Espada 🙌🏾. Can’t wait for the official translations. I was actually hoping I’d find something to confirm what I saw in another video about Ulquiorra’s power scaling and that his lance/spear in his ressurecion forms are Light Speed. Oh well, guess it’s just speculation for now.
The background music makes it even more impactful.
Am I the only one who's interested why oriheme was checking up on him sleeping ?? Or have I just been on Tumblr for to long hah
@@swigittyswooty6908 Ulquiorras's final massage before death by that girl's husbando.
Sad😭 this literally made me cry
I don't think Ulquiorra killed the other hollows, I think he was mutilating himself to see if he could feel pain or even kill himself. The blood isn't only on his fingertips.
HM trees strong enough to make him a arrancar
Aizen:" Gin Kaname set up the tree barrier. There is no way the Gotei 13 would break through "
Kaname:" Sir we cannot uproot them! It's too strong!!"
Aizen:" Shit...we'll just use the hougyoku"
Lmao
I doubt the trees are that strong, we see Uryu break a branch with his fingers.
aside from the fact that he literally drove a hole through ichigo's chest and stuff, he was actually pretty chill
my man Ulquiorra. 🤲♥️🙏
Ulquiorra's aspect of death is emptiness also he's one of the most unique of the arrancars since he is different than most hollows.
I’m gonna jump out on a limb or two and theorize that that tree/bush was where a soul reaper died and the trees fed off what remained and ulquiorra absorbed some of it
My theory is he reach his second-to-last form but after trying to manifest his new form he had nothing in the black abyss that he was in and he could not remember anything so all he had was nothing this therefore he made the white body because it was the opposite of black but once he started to look around he noticed the differences between him and everyone else making his void even stronger until he found the patch of white trees / white thorns and it was able to cause him more pain that helped him break out of his shell and made him more relief to see something outside of the Void which was happiness
@Deep Soul okay so now you just open up another theory to my mind do you think ulquiorra would be related to White (ichigo's Hollow side) like Aizen and saw ulquiorra than created White

Where do the Trees of Hueco Mundo fit on the Power Scale?
Bleach fans be like
"Bleach is so poetic"
U must think ur onto something 😂
I love his character wish he can back in the final manga
That tree branch is the true final villain of Bleach.
Damn we have a berserk character in the bleach universe
He should come back, he is the best esparda
I feel realy sad for him
Ulquiorra was a Hollow before he became an Arrancar, so I wonder who he was as a human. Would be interesting to know.
I remember the end credits montage for those chapters in the anime showing Bleach characters in a, I suppose, alternate normal life, and one of those scenes has Ulquiorra, in normal human form, dressed as what looks like a detectives coat. I wonder if that’s who he was when he was human.
You also have the little story in 13 blades next to the begining of the revive of tomorrow
He did not die , he is being reborn from his ashes. Remember what he said in the end!
He didnt die ??? You sure
@@crystalthin7272 I am sure. Just when he dies he says something that emphasises his return.
Lmao idk if.you were serious about the tree.part or not 😅
Please do a video about who was Ulqiuorra when he was a human/man.
pretty like sad or something back story
I wish he came back with grimmjow and nel in tybw
The hell arc...he will return. I'm certain of it
I hope we can we get a backstory for all the espada's from bleach.
Same
My theory is that all hollows are lost souls. Often they seek to fill the void in their being. This often is seen as insatiable appetite. Constantly eating souls to fill this void caused by their life. Mistakenly it is believed that eating will help this emptiness to be filled. Yet what seperates the hollows is their level of consciounsess. The closer they can get to their original soul is how they evolve. Otherwise their subconscious dictate their forms. Ulquirroa form represents nihilism an aspect often realized at death. As he died he must have accepted that his life was meaningless. To have no hatred, desire or emotion he just felt nothingness as he died. The moment his hollow self realized and came back to this notion of nothing he was no longer a simple hollow. Each espada represents a notion of death. Their ranking doesnt just reveal power, but how their meaning in how they died and how they accepted. When Ulquirroa died he had no one. Cared for no one or anything. That void allowed him to remember this. Naturally a hollows mask symbolizes their delusions in death. Only by acceptance can they regain their humanity. As such their masks breaks revealing their humanity. Yet pieces still remain showing they can never truly regain their humanity. This why Vaste lordes are ranked so high they fully abandoned their humanity. Becoming berserkers who aren't the strongest, but are likely rapid beasts. Ichigo cero shows this by how he just compresses reshi so rapidly it becomes unstable. One mistake in that charge can destroy the user.
thats not a theory, thats literally what it is.
Correct and actual list of espada rankings of power AS FOR IN the arancar ark:
1. Ulqioura (has sec release, health regen, speed, lightning lance more powerful then black cero, most balanced char, more riatsu then the baragan and harribel, close and long range combat)
2. Stark (infinite stamina, limitless spam (black) cero, more riatsu then baragan and harribel, mostly long range combat)
3. Yammy (has sec release, infinite stamina, almost limitless strength, more riatsu then baragan and harribel, glass canon)
4. Baragan (nothing else to say was king before aizen came for a reason, hax aging ability only negated by someone with higher riatsu then him)
5. Harribel (nothing else to say was considered the queen before aizen came for a reason, has good balance of power and speed, stamina and intelligence, tremendous amount of riatsu but not more then baragan so will be killed by his aging ability)
6. Nel or Grimjaw debatable
7. The rest really dont matter that much...
the tree is his antithesis as his comprehends life. the tree has no significance in hueco mundo. a branch represents 1 life, the tree represents living beings binding together, therefore becoming stronger and creating meaning for itself. the many trees together create life, a system with meaning. making even just 1 branch stronger when it has meaning in life. ichigo is a branch, the tree is his friends and family.
how could a simple branch break his mask? how could a simple human beat ulquiorra?
Can someone PLEASE tell me where to find the manga version of each aspada's backstory like the 1 👆🏾 please
Ulquiorra~kun 😩
Hey, talking about him. This days I've been seeing and image from Tumblr with ulquiorra saying We are nothingness. Our head is a void. And without anything around us, we are nothing. We become what we perceive."
but is this real? I mean, im Spanish so i didn't see bleach in English or even Japanese so maybe is some translation of other languages
Wish they show him interact with aizen
What was that greyed out panel?
Moon shield it's his theme
That tree can solo dragon ball
Jump Force dlc suggestions?
If the branch of those trees could break the mask of a vasto lorde, why didn't aizen use them to make a weapon or armor?
What's the name of the background song that starts on 1:57?
Please do one with Grimmjow 😭
I have no mouth and i must scream
I wonder how to vasto lorde progress? As if they broke their mask become natural arrancars.. How does the hogyoku comes into play like still need hogyoku to become arrancars or they become arrancar after natural Arrancar? i dont get it..
R.i.p Stark Coyote, Lilinette Coyote, and Ulquiorra Cifer
Coyote is his name.
It's Coyote Starrk and
Lilynette Gingerback
I theorize that with Roka and Aura’s abilities, Ulquiorra can be resurrected. Ulquiorra’s body turned to dust and probably dissolved into reishi when he died. His reishi still flows in the air high above Las Noches. If Aura can manipulate those Reishis to recreate his body and Roka recording down Ulquiorra’s information via her Negacion, then Ulquiorra can be revived.
I really wish his comeback
You know I don't if empty was the right aspect for ulquiorra.
What can the fans do to get an official release of the English version. I want it SO bad you have no idea
Does anyone know where the background music was?
Dude anyone wished he turned to dust then reborn as a white vasto lorde and fought ichigo again and did what ichigo did to him and server his arm and leg as payback and then we see his old form
Looked like a Vasto lorde
Please send a link to read the databook
Name of the background music i can't able to find it
What if soya the 8th kenpachi noticed the change of heart in ulquiorra and saved him before ulquiorra evaporated in the wind 🌬 since soya can merge with the air/wind.. and he and the 8th kenpachi have been training ever since in finding his humanity and surpassing his 2nd release state..
Knowing azashiro he would not let an arrancar live. If he was willing to cut down hollow children then I don't think he could care much for some random arrancar. It's just one less hollow to deal with in his eyes
Bleach Center What I’m saying is what if soya found ulquiorra as he was entering the soul society since I believe once a sr kills a hollow aren’t they reborn in the seritei...but you know how soyas Bankai reacts on its own what if she saved ulquiorra soyas bankai but honestly I’m reaching and am just an ulquiora fan boy
no he just passed this level, he was already an arrancarr and the tree it was the symbol, maybe better the sign of change of he's life.
I really want to get a full reading of this because idk how to use deviantart
Ulquiorra brought out ichigo beast one of the most epic anime fight scenes I ever watched
Where can I read this
witch manga chapter is it?
What is the full ulqiorra model??
Stark please
Ulquiorra is such a hollow character...in a good way
What if uqiura *srry cant spell* was a vasto lorde back then
He was a Vasto lorde..
Grimmjow next
I would've like to know why he and Yami were friends.
Its revealed that yammy just found him strong enough to be around
He wanted to be around the strongest. He couldn't be around Starrk too much cuz you know.... (Poof). He would have to show utter loyalty to Baraggan, Harribel couldn't sacrifice anything for slob like him so Ulquiorra was next in line. His persona would probably fit Nnoitra's companion better but Ulquiorra was stronger
Walking

I always thought this was fanmade
Bleach databook unmasked. Was never translated
Bleach Center so these manga panels are from a databock? So weird
@@xTheParadox99 more like an extra chapter
he killed all those dark hallows in the pit where he was from, why didnt he consume them to increase power??
He had no mouth

Huh, so Ulquiorra is like Arturo... Natural One.
Starrk, Baraggan as well.
@@Vinzenzx where does it say that barragan was a natural born arrancar, he only became one after aizen showed up so the implication is that aizen aided that.
@@samuraibeluga3749 CFYOW Novel, he was a Arrancar thousand of years before the main series.
@@Vinzenzx that makes no sense, so are you telling me that he reverted back into his hollow form? i dont remember that being said in the novel at all, what i do remember saying is that he existed even back then but not as an arrancar. we know hollows can revert back in forms, szayel was a vasto lorde until he reverted back into an adjuchas, but as far as im concerned its impossible to revert back into a hollow after you become an arrancar so what you describe cant be true.
@@samuraibeluga3749 What? Barragan was a a Arrancar thousand of years ago and still was a arrancar when Aizen invited him to his side.
You do know that resurrection means resurrect. That means when the Vasto Lordes go in their ressurection state, it returns there physical forms back to what they were in the adjucha state
Why doesn't he call 'Ulquiorra-kun'? That same to Kurosaki-kun? He is Jealous? 555 ^^
What.
Idk probably bad back stories
