What do you think of this match-up? It was requested a lot, and it was a lot of fun to discuss! Who wins between Ulquiorra and Ăs Nödt? Do you agree with my winner? Let me know in the comments!
I think I almost speak for almost everyone here that we agree that Ulquiorra would be the winner. I mean even if As Nodt fear does work, it probably won't be effective. In fact Ulquiorra might be more resistant than most since he doesn't just suppress fear, he really doesn't know or feel it to an extent.
Also could you do a who would win between Yoruichi and Grimmjow since both are highly skilled hand to hand combatants.
Thinking about this made me wonder. If ywhach Bach didn't send quilge to heuco Mundo and instead swapped as nodt for quilge how do you think the story differs? Would quilge be able to handle characters like byakuya and renji?
Congratulations đđż
Do Tokyo Treat and Sakuraco ship to Mexico? You have some fans around here you know hehe đđ
Let's all remember that one of the most iconic lines by Ulquiorra is "Woman, are you afraid?" while talking to Orihime, and is somewhat relieved when she finally answers "I'm not afraid". He does, at least theoretically, know what fear is. He just doesn't believe in it.
EXACTLY!!!! It serves him no purposeâŠ..
Chad move. How can you sucumb to something you do not believe in?
Isn't it the whole point that fear is a primal instinct that cannot be negated by how much you don't feel fear or don't understand the concept of it? Pretty sure that doesn't negate that fact that he CAN feel fear and most definitely can succumb to it.
You're not immune to or safe from things outside of your understanding, after all.
exactly he doesn't even have emotion too began with
that dont matter the f shrift forces fear unto u did u not see wat happened to byakuya
If Ulquiorra was still alive in the War arc like Grimmjow and Nel were then he would have been overpowered as hell
Depends on the quincy they are facing. Plus based on Can't fear your own world, a lot of the arrancars are way stronger than they were during the arrancar arc.
@@briankao6833 ... Thats why I'm saying if Ulquiorra was alive he woulda been stronger as well
@@justtoolit6051 Oh sorry the way you phrased sounds he would be easily overpowered by an opponent.
I refuse to believe he did die
@@joshuanugentfitnessjourney3342 Hopefully we see Ulquiorra again in the hell arc
What does Ulquiorra fear? He faced Ichigo's raw power and was more surprised by the power difference than the fact he was being treated as a rag doll. He had Ichigo ready to release a nuke on his face and we didnt see him tremble but asking him to do it.
And still wanting to fight him even tho his left arm and leg were heavily damaged. Tho tbf, Ichigo was back in his Bankai state
As Nodt didnt create, what the victem fears.
He give unreasonable fear itself. He is fear. Straight up.^^
Even when there isnt anything specific, that he would fear. Would he simply have a fear feeling to (even, when i can not think, how he would react then^^)
â@@hasseo195Exactly. Ulquiorra could probably hold it off for longer, but he would eventually succumb.
@@hasseo195 But he creates his fear based on human Instinct. Which is survival and escaping death. Hollows don't have this instinct because in Hueco Mundo they seem to be inmortal. They don't eat to survive, they eat out of desperation to fill the emptiness in their souls. Ulquiorra doesn't even have the fear of Adjuchas, which may be useful to As due to reverting back to a Gillian must be similar to dying for Menos hollows, as he was born a complete Vasto Lorde.
Despite what it might seem, the arrancar still act somewhat human-like.All the espada, even Ulquiorra have expressed some level of emotion even if he was born a hollow
Ulquiorra would almost definitely win. Not only has he demonstrated far greater feats of physical ability and destructive power than As Nodt has ever shown but there's also a small detail about how 'The Fear' works that gives Ulquiorra a natural advantage - As Nodt's ability is all about inducing primal, instinctual fear. Humans and Soul Reapers succumb to it so easily because they have 'civilized' themselves and think that they have suppressed it, and our minds are more effective without the presence of fear and/or stress. This is precisely why it worked so well on Byakuya, who has psychologically conditioned himself to suppress his fear in battle.
But here's the thing - Hollows are inherently animalistic. They *embrace* that primordial fear and revel in their bestial instincts. As Nodt's thorns will either have no effect at all or they will end up intensifying that sensation, which would arguably make Ulquiorra even more dangerous. Imagine an Ulquiorra that no longer plays with his food and instead perceives you as a genuine threat to his survival that must be destroyed as quickly and completely as possible. We already know that As Nodt is not a very physical fighter, has not demonstrated any exceptional mastery of any Quincy technique, and is otherwise completely reliant on his schrift which, as I've just gone over, could backfire tremendously. Add this to the fact that Hollow reiatsu is toxic to Quincies and weakens their abilities, and As Nodt is clearly at a disadvantage.
This is actually the best explanation I've seen so far.
ââ@@lorddarkstorm1354hat your saying is he'd go from house cat versus mouse to honey badger versus lions. And I mean aggressively, badgers go so mad when their in danger that lions just walk away.
ââ@Isidoro T only possible if you believe pre timeskip byakuya could fight vasto lorde ichigo. Yes he lost but I honesty believe that his second release could decimate yami.
Like my comment đâ€
I mean possibly (at least on the Ulquiorra being resistant to the fear effect he'd 1000% win)? I definitely wouldn't really call Ulquiorra animalistic by any means so I'm not sure he really gets any perks in that regard. I think a lot of hollows tend to be more animalistic but I think the further into being a Vasto Lorde you go the less animalistic and instinctual you are. That and I'm pretty sure arrancar are said to be less primal because of their hybrid nature.
On top of that someone else mentioned Ulquiorra having fear in that he was relieved when Orihime wasn't afraid of him which meant he was worried/afraid that she was. But also just the doubt he shows when facing Ichigo and Orihime's world view. He was clearly unnerved and threatened by the fact he couldn't grasp how they thought and he was scared his entire worldview was wrong because he's missing something. Definitely the kind of fear that could paralyze someone if its amplified many times over and absolutely something he was clearly running from already.
I do still think you have a point on Hollow reiatsu being toxic to Quincy's so I do think you're right about him having resistance or even immunity because of THAT but not because Ulquiorra is somehow mentally immune to fear just because he's a hollow. I think that honestly does his actual character a disservice just so we can have another reason he beats x other character ya know
Possibly Ulquiorra. He's a nihilist who knows no fear and is not intimidated by anything, only mildly surprised before going all out.
Iâve been saying this for a long time
I dunno, Ăs Nödt's fear isn't intellectual in nature. It's the pure biological impulse of fear, and despite his pretensions, Ulquiorra is a living being.
â@@MrGksarathy Meh not really. Ulquiorra was born a hollow and was never a human so he never experienced biological fear. Ofc that doesn't mean he can't, just that he never did so saying he would fall for As' ability is just speculation.
@@gabrieldossantos1116 Hollows do have some semblance of biological processes, especially brains, and given how they're ruled by negative impulses, they almost certainly feel fear. I think Ulquiorra would be able to resist for a while, longer than Byakuya did, but I think he would eventually succumb.
I mean he didnât even fear death. My manâs said fire your cero blank face and took it like a champ lol
I don't think Ulquiorra is immune to feeling fear, but it would take sooooooo much work to bring it out that he still wins fairly easily.
I think it gets to a point where he mutual kills Ăs. The latter is pretty strong and tanky on his own.
@@MrGksarathyI doubt as nodt is nearly as durable as ulquiorra. The guy survived a point blank cero from ichigo in his hollow form
I dont think he can feel fear at any rate, imho. Ulquiorra is empty of that very thing, look at his back story, he was different and even moreso empty compared to all other hollows he encountered, through the white tree of many points he sought rest as it reflected his own void and for a time he rested within it, until Aizen showed up he had nothing to give him direction, he respected Aizen greatly to the point of being his absolute yesman, due to Aizen's intellect being far beyond his own. I dont even think he feared being killed by Aizen at any rate, fear or even the possibility of that very emotion, was never present within Ulquiorra, we surely would have seen it if it were at all present in his destruction through Vasto Lorde Ichigo. In essence, or as an analogy, Vasto Lorde Ichigo was that very white tree of many points made manifest that Ulquiorra sought to find true emptiness in long before becoming an Espada.
@@thekeefer690 That's not true. The fact that he understood the nature of "the heart" upon the moment of his death is proof that he always had the capacity for emotions, even if he couldn't comprehend them. Besides, as Mr.Tommo pointed out, he exhibited anger, frustration, and even a little fear during his battles with Ichigo.
â@@MrGksarathy Ulq had absolutely no fear at any point while fighting Ichigo. He was shocked and kind of confused how Ichigo grabbed and broke his Lanza del RelĂĄmpago, but he was never afraid.
The assumption, I guess, is that Ulquiorra will shrink in the face of fear. Even if he can feel fear, and I'm not convinced he can, his reaction could be a "fight" instinct. Which could make him even more dangerous. Either way, the Quatro Espada surely wins.
I mean if you think Ulquiorra can't feel fear then I think you kind of missed his whole character my dude. I think his hollow reiatsu would likely make him immune to the ability or resistant maybe but he can without a doubt feel fear. Why do you think he asked Orihime if she was scared of him and looked relieved when she said no? Because bro was worried/scared that she did
@@Pragabond i feel like he was not scared of her, or worried that she was scared of him, he was curious. he has no real understanding of emotions whatsoever and shows no emotions whatsoever, he barely shows even primal instincts.
How does the consumption of Reishi?
I always thought that since As Nodtâs fear from his final form simply goes through your nerves from your eyes⊠Ulquiorra would just calmly counter this by removing his eyes like he did when showing aizen his data. A perfect reflection of Ulquiorras detachment from sense and self, proving his true nihilism and his total immunity to fear.
the fear is enhanced from trying to avoid it like that. Removing your eyes is no different from closing them
@@typeouetco1626 cool take. although I can empathize with this. Wasn't it stated that the fear literally goes through the eyes and the nerves behind them? Part of why Rukia could remove the fear at one point is because she killed her body and this process along with it. Similarly Ulquiorra's eyes are actually never connected physically. I think its his metaphorical emodiment of his ideologies and the power of Nihilism that he represents.
@@beni1429 Yes, but that's only if he disconnects his eyes from the start. As long as his eyes are connected to his body it's just fair to assume that the power would work on him and he has no reason to remove them until it's already too late, and according to As Nodt, trying to look away/Close your eyes will only make things worse from there
@@typeouetco1626 yeah and Iâm saying that he is the quintessential form of Nihilsim. That is the power he âisâ as one of the Espada. like, sure his eyes could be attacked physically all the time or they might just be sitting in the sockets (but if guess work). But Iâm saying that that is inconsequential because the guy literally canât feel fear. He doesnât know what it is and canât comprehend it. (his whole form, theme and power is centred around this idea)
@@typeouetco1626 like you canât enhance something that doesnât exist to begin with.
My theory about Ulquiorra has always been he may actually be the strongest Espada, but he simply didn't care. Didn't care to tell anyone about his second release because it didn't matter. Pride is a human emotion and made no sense to him. The way he bullies Yammy when he was getting cocky pretty much proved that to me.
Truee
CZcams needs to stop sleeping on you MrTommo and put you in the recommendations more. You fancy yourself these extremely interesting topics every week. You earned my respect years a ago. Promise me one day youâll get a back massage, you need it from carrying bleach along with others all these years. I think I speak for everyone when I say we very much appreciate you. Lastly, and quite honestly more importantly, happy birthday! Iâm glad you made it through another year. Also Congratulations on finding the love of your life đ. You give me hope each day. Keep doing your thing brotha. Peace.
i feel like the nuance with Ulquiorra is that although he may experience fear, I don't think he would really care enough to be crippled by it in the same way a normal opponent would be. I feel like despite being affected by As Nodt's ability, he would still have a calculated approach that he would only need to overwhelm As with his own power. like, it isn't necessarily an emotional thing for Ulquiorra to face immense power, it's rather a, "guess I'll die" sort of response. between the two, As Nodt is more likely to experience the despair that both characters weaponize.
Again, Ăs Nödt's fear isn't rational or something Ulquiorra can effortlessly shrug off. It's a sensation beyond conscious thought, a feeling deep in the hindbrain.
You say it as if Ulq is more powerful than As Nodt to be able to overwhelm him
People forget which Espada Byakuya scaled to before the Timeskip and how As Nodt treated someone who treated the strongest Espada confirmed in the manga, novel and data book to be stronger than Ulquiorra like trash
All this video showed is how much I miss Ulquiorra... Kinda wish we see him in the future but I doubt it sadly..đ
If the hell arc comes about heâll be a guaranteed pick
You're not the only one ;-;
I just pulled his Beyond Resurrection in Brace Souls so heâs living on rn đđŒ
Maybe a mini series where we see him build his strength until he is gifted by the Hougyoku by Aizen.
â@@dreworyan5652thanks bro đ
I actually think exposing Ulquiorra to fear may be a bad decision. I think an interesting reaction would be if feeling fear could manage to evoke other emotions from Ulquiorra. Particularly anger. As mentioned before, Ulquiorra found himself beginning to grow frustrated by Ichigo's refusal to give up. I imagine feeling such primal fear may drive Ulquiorra into a frenzy that would make even As Nödt shit his pants. Being exposed to a mix of brand new emotions that he has no concept or understanding of would be enough to legitimately drive Ulquiorra briefly insane. He would become an unhinged maniac throwing Ceros and Lanza Del Relampagos in every direction, just trying to get the overwhelming sensations to end. Ulquiorra would turn out fine due to his regeneration. As Nödt and the surrounding area? Not so much.
I never thought about that and an unhinged ulquiorra could be very dangerous. Heâs already deadly when calm
The psychopath's first LSD trip, then the bar fight after
If Full Hollow Ichigo could crush Lanza in his hand with no damage, As Nodt isnât taking any damage from it.
People forget Byakuya killed Second Form Yammy along with Kenpachi, and then fought Kenpachi who like himself is stronger than Yammy. And he was bleeding and injured when he returned, so he did take hits form one or both of them and survived.
Then As Nodt absolutely shreds through Byakuyaâs durability with his own Bankai, which is weaker than As Nodtâs own Vollstandig. And with Blut, his durability should scale above his AP using Byakuyaâs Bankai
@@jocoolshow thatâs a pretty big assumption on your apart that just because ichigo in hollow form crushed it means as nodtâs durability would save him. They arenât the same. That form ichigo used to shred ulquiorra was insanely powerful and he was only wearing half the shikausho
@@gammafrost Yhwach said that in order to steal someoneâs Bankai, you need to have the raw power to control it.
As Nodt > Post Timeskip Byakuya > Pre Timeskip Byakuya > Second Form Yammy > Res Yammy >>> R2 Ulq
People forget that Ichigoâs new striped mask post Ulq fight is Full Hollow Whiteâs power and at 100% is able to damage Aizen whoâs > the combined might of the Espada. So Yammy taking a somewhat less than 50% Ichigoâs Getsuga with only a small cut is a better feat than Ulquiorra has shown
Anyways < 50% Masked Ichigo could barely cut Res Yammy while Byakuya could kill second form Yammy and take hits from and damage Kenpachi who himself could damage and take hits from Yammy.
Stack 18 months of training onto that, and Byakuyaâs power is inferior to As Nodtâs base form
Then add on the fact that As Nodt has Vollstandig which is superior to Bankai in terms of a stat buff, and then a second form himself
I'd argue that Ulquiorra never felt fear and instead would express shock. If getting blasted point blank range by a demon with the intent to kill you doesn't spark a slight reaction then the dude is a full blown HOLLOW. A void which consumes the moons light itself.
The simple question to ask would be "What does Ulquiorra fear?" Aizen ? Maybe? It doesnt seem like he's afraid of beings stronger than him, he simply acknowledges his place. Him losing his cool at Ichigo's resilience is less "oh he can feel emotions" and more "oh so he can display something other than a straight muted face."
27:40 - 46:49 Such a great narration over this battle. Very much like an audiobook. Great to see how the outcome turned out!
I hope the next battle is between mayuri and urahara đ
Now THAT would be a hell of a battle. It gives me migraines just to think about the level of mind games and uno reverse cards they play on each other
i hope he does a video of this dream battle
Tbh the biggest thing I would argue is that the fear wouldn't be able to work on Ulquiorra, but not because of him potentially not being able to feel fear. If a hollowfied bankai ichigo could barely cut Ulquiorra's skin in base, then I don't think one of As Nodt's Thorns could peirce Ulquiorras skin. And even with a full power hollowfied getsuga, Ulquiorra didn't even have to block the attack in his first resurrection state. He protected himself with just spiritual pressure, Aizen has stated that you can nullify another spiritual pressure with your own. So in theory, at least in Segunda Etapa, Ulquiorra should be able to counter it simply because of how much stronger Ulquiorra is compared to Ichigo, who at the time was about as strong or stronger than Byakuya.
Aizen statement was talking about Shinigami battles
â@@mystic1360 Of course, because Shinigami run on gasoline and Hollows on Diesel... Clearly different (obviously sarcasm).
It's the same thing , all characters in bleach are fueled by Spirit energy
Ăs Nödt's Holy Form is comparable, and in that, he inflicts the Fear through sight alone. Besides, Ulquiorra, despite his own beliefs, isn't completely emotionless or immune to the impulse of fear.
@@zabdiel1314 No that only applies to shinigami vs shinigami because the way each race uses reiatsu is different.
â@Agni Historia but they all still use spiritual power overall. There's still a case for an overwhelmed power difference
it is actually very difficult to rank the Espada Azen choose, on the one hand because of Azen's Kurohitsugi it is pretty much guaranteed no Espada could hide anything from Azen, but on the other hand I believe Azen ranked some Espada out of spite, ie Luppi to spite Grimmjow, Baraggan ranked 2nd feels spiteful, and to spite Nnoitra he kept the 3rd Espada female
I feel like he enjoys trolling more so than being spiteful, but same end result I suppose
Huh? What are you talking about? The 3rd rank espada was way stronger than Nnoitra. That's a big ass reach with zero backing LMAO
Kurohitsugi? I think you meant kyoka suigetsu lol
Firstly, good structure to your video. I really like how well paced the fight scene was and it felt in character to both sides. I do think this fight is a lot less one sided than people think upon further reflection of both sides but I still think Ulquiorra takes it. As is very much a one trick pony, and if anything happens to take his trick away then he flounders badly and tries to reestablish it.
For the big question, yeah I do feel Ulquiorra can feel fear. He instills it in others and can see it happening plus I do think that shot of him against "Vasto Lorde" Ichigo does show him have a momentary sensation of fear, however fleeting. I do think he can overcome it with his releases and I even got an image of one spear of light coming from the ocean of darkness surrounding As and destroying his sphere. Including a line about how fear is just a byproduct of despair and Ulquiorra is about to show As a despair so deep, it'll engulf his fear. Something like that, this is just off the top of my head lol.
Keep these up, they are pretty great.
It's actually interesting, I've always assumed Ulquiorra to be the strongest of Espada based on the significance of the number "4" in specific, like a number of bad luck and when I rewatched the series you could assume even his first release should be higher than the average Arrancar's due to one thing in specific, in both the anime and the manga Yammy's release turned his number from 10 to 0 to show his true ranking in the Espada, however Ulquiorra on the otherhand has his number entirely erased from his body, almost as if it wasn't meant to be there in the first place, that along with his speed and power being boosted by such a degree that even while hollowfied, Ichigo could barely react and we know that hollowfying gives a similar boost to Bankai in terms of power and also giving a massive boost in all areas, I find it hard to believe he isn't the strongest but I do believe Starkk at his strongest is a similar threat to Ulquiorra's first release, Yammy is powerful but if you put him against anyone relative in power, as long as they have a decent level of intelligence they should be able to beat him without much issue since unlike Ulquiorra, Starkk, Harribel, and Barrigan he has no good defensive properties so he's powerful, but relatively weak compared to the other top 4.
Personally I had thought that Ulquiorra was #2 in his second release. With Stark having his fusion and first release, as well as a Cero technique with a 1000x multiplier (he had one Cero that launched 1000 normal ceros simultaneously and a second Cero that merged 1000 ceros, both required charge time but the latter definitely has the 1000x, this is ignoring his strongest cero technique, that pack of soul partition wolves) multiplier compared to Ulquiorraâs Cero techniques that were nebulously above the standard Gray Ray Ceroâs 10xCero multiplier). Even if I assume that Stark were only slightly stronger than Ulquiorra in base, the release forms would give Stark a 20x multiplier and Ulquiorra a 100x multiplier, then the techniques would give a final multiplier around 20000x for Stark and somewhere above 1000x for Ulquiorra if I were to highball it I would guess the lanza del relampago does not bring Ulquiorra past 10,000x his base power, at half Starkâs 20,000x base.
Unless Ulquiorraâs base is substantially stronger than Starkâs, Stark should be around twice as strong as Ulquiorra when they are at full power
He's definitely below the top 3 as he himself said. CFYOW makes his ranking even lower given the feats of Grimmjow, Nel, and Harribel yet they're all still weaker than pre Aizen Barragan.
@D'Iamante Robinson Starrk never said that. Starrk stated he never wanted to lead so he let barrgan take charge.
@@residentevil2928 Starkk never said what? I didn't say he stated anything.
The strongest would be Cien.
This is an almost perfect hypothetical battle analysis format as it takes into account both fighting prowess and psychological state.
The only thing missing is the weight of the location considered in battle.
But all in all this is actually masterful work from MrTommo and I can see budding writers using this format to think up battles for fan fiction and original works.
More please!
Didnât Ulquiorra have an aura of despair? A similar emotional contagion as Azâs Fear, would Az Nott be affected by Ulquiorraâs Despair like Ichigo was? We know Azâs fear is something he himself is weak against, but it only overwhelmed him when he mentally gave up on victory⊠would Ulquiorraâs Despair be able to weaken Az in the same manner as the Fear would weaken Ulquiorra?
I think it was less an "aura of despair" and more "everyone can tell how absolutely massive his dong is from outside Las Noches"
Ulquiorra doesnt have that, he only have his spiritual pressure is thick enough to make it like black rain when in segunda etapa
@@theballance9748 and yet, that "vast, alien reitsu" is colored in Ulquiorra's nihilism and does seem to impart despair upon those whom cannot resist it. We know all the Espada ranked higher than Ulquiorra have command, or ability, over a facet of nature tied to their aspect of death. Most of those below him do as well
â@@sh4d0wfl4re that is just an astetic aspect. In reality ulquiorra at his full power would be trashed like nothing by as notd without putting any significant effort, the reason for this is the massive power difference between the two, hueco Mundo arc power has nothing to do or compared to the thousand year blood war power, it is just too much.
@@eliasfigarzon9813 Uh... Starke was able to fight 3 captains in shikai at once, two of which using hollow masks for the fight. Haribell held Hueco Mundo on her own up until Yhwach showed up. Some Espada were neighboring transcendence, even just by virtue of whom they fought while not getting roflstomped. Just because most of the powerful hollows were killed off during the prior arcs doesn't mean the power scale jump lacks any shared power levels. Further just because Yhwach is transcendent does not mean all the sternritter are, nor does it mean that any sternritter would have been Dangai Ichigo's opponent (some would be, but it certainly isn't the default). In a general sense this matchup might have required Ulquiorra to have survived and trained before the TYBW to fully reach the power levels assumed in this video, but he wasn't that far from this power tier when he fought Ichigo
I just wanna say that I'd be all in for more of Tommo reviewing food while making anime and video game references. I chuckled at the 'devouring Ichigo' line, imagined our boy getting chomped by a Gerard sized Tommo.
'this beef jerky is as tough as the god-tank Momo Hinamori'
Iâve been seeing this fight pop up around the community for years now, glad to see you make a video about it
I absolutely love VS battle videos, what ifs and bankai theories, would love to see more~ đ
Your descriptions of the fight are SO clear itâs like Iâm watching it in my head and Iâm JUST as excited as if I was watching lol ! What a fight
Your battle explanations are so well detailed and dictated, I could see the whole thing playing out in my head perfectly. Great job. Great video
damn, Mr tommo is simply the BEST BLEACH channel. thank youu so much captain tommo!
Great battle narration! But I honestly have no idea of which scenario would take place... but both possibilities are very real... I would love to witness this fight!
Great video. Thereâs been a debate about these two for years and Iâm glad you broke it down. I honestly think ulquiorra wins with little difficulty and it feels like his nihilism view is the perfect counter to As nodtâs fear. Then again it would be interesting to see the psychological effect on the espada. Really hope we get to see these two in the hell arc. You know kubo will go nuts with their design
I think people assume that Ulquiorra is emotionless when that isn't quite true. Ulquiorra is stoic and cold but he still very much has emotions, his arc wasn't about gaining emotions it was about recognizing and understanding them.
The whole relationship between him and Orihime is predicated on his constant rejection and confusion towards emotions his own and others, contrasted by Orihime an empathetic character that leads with her emotions and understands others.
Fear is definitely something that Ulquiorra can feel and in many ways it's one of the emotions that he's the most familiar with.
Doesnât matter heâll low dif As Nodt just in base lol even base Grimmjow back then wouldnât struggle that much
*sigh* I apologize for the comment above me. Anyway, I agree with basically all you said.
I do think tho, that fear would take quite a while to take hold of Ulquiorra, and in a few aspects make him more dangerous. So overall the sheer reiatsu pressure and speed and strength to match it.
So Iâm certain he would be affected by the fear, and would have loved to see how it would actually affect him. But Iâm quite sure of Ulquiorraâs victory.

How strong is As Nodt? He bringing it to Byakuya sure but itâs not like he was completely dominating him through physical ability alone. This is a version of Byakuya who isnât that much stronger than when he faced Ichigo in SS. Based on the fact it not only takes Shinigami decades to significantly improve (Shunsui saying Hitsugaya wonât surpass him for around another 100 years for example) but also struggling with the likes of Tsukishima who got his arm taken by a mere Fullbring Ichigo who is obviously no where near Shinigami Fullbring infused or Shinigami Hollowfied Ichigo. Both of those versions have around twice the reiatsu of a captain just like base Aizen as he stated when using the Hogyoku to create Wonderweiss. Unohana who would dick down the version of Byakuya As Nodt fought told Ichigo his reishi is similar to ours as in the captains, ours includes her. Then she realized he was only at half strength and said heâs truly their trump card
From what Iâve seen most fans just donât understand the hierarchy and what the limit of pure Shinigami, Hollows, etc is so you end up with silly conclusions like the Gotei significantly improving which in turn makes the Stern Ritter way stronger than they actually are. As Nodtâs fear and the use of his own Bankai was the reason he ended destroying Byakuya. He wouldnât even get the chance to land a blow on someone as powerful as Ulquiorra even if his fear worked which it obviously would not when even Byakuya wasnât fully affected by it. Ulquiorra is the same dude who easily stopped Kisukeâs Zanpaktou without even drawing his sword. The guy who was hardly affected by masked Bankai Ichigo (someone way above Byakuya against As Nodt at that point) and had him on his knees in 2 fucking attacks. Iâm not even gonna keep going Ulquiorra washes this dude itâs not even funny. The only way he would remotely be a threat is if Ulquiorra was caught in his vollstandig like Rukia which is confusing with how Byakuya broke it and then neither were caught afterwards. Worst case scenario is just that he has to go 1st release, As Nodt is 100% fucked after that if it even gets that far. ESPECIALLY considering Hollows deal more damage to Quincy. Grimmjow isnât vastly weaker than Ulquiorra, he pushed away Ichigoâs sword and forced him back casually telling him to go Bankai like he was a joke.

@@KurokamiNajimi Iâm sorry, Iâm a little high right now, and couldnât read past a few lines. You missed the whole point because you didnât bother to read to the end. I AGREE WITH YOU.
I was simply pointing that the OP was expecting a more elegant response to his quite well written commentary, ond that I felt I could provide.
@@KurokamiNajimi You know what rhymes with ironic?
Something I was hoping you'd touch on was that while Ulquiorra appears to experience surprise, frustration, and contentment they are relatively mild. Part of what defines Ulquiorra is how his aspect of death manifests and isolates him from his own kind. While capable of understanding and experiencing some amount of emotion I imagine the effects of As Nodt's fear might be somewhat stifled. Ulquiorra has been described as more mechanical than hollow both in his fighting style and his lack of hunger; something that is considered both primal & fundamental to what defines a hollow. That said I imagine that while he might have some physical resistance to As Nodt's schrift, even after he recognizes himself as being afflicted, his lack of experience with fear might offset some of his bodies' natural resistance or limited ability to experience emotion; as it's something he struggles with, not even really being able to experience pain from what we've seen when he tears out and crushes his own eyes without so much as flinching. I also imagine that if he did have a non-primal fear it'd be that same isolation he experienced as a hollow; so seeing the tree he connected with burning away might stir those same feelings. My thoughts aside this was an incredible breakdown and I thoroughly enjoyed it. '-'b
I love this format for vs battles, i love the describing of the fight like an actual story
Funny how Ichigo's epic rivalry is against an opponent who's a perfect reflection of Byakuya during his first introduction, while Byakuya faces off against an opponent who, once again, forces him to confront his inner feelings, much like Ichigo did.
man i really love the storytelling that you're doing while predicting how the fights would go, also the visuals that accompany it!
Thank you for this video! I had no idea that this was EXACTLY what I was in the mood for. Best time Ive had on CZcams since... well, your video on Yumichika's Bankai. Well thought out video, sir. Thanks again
The storyline you made with Ulquiorra and AS is amazing to the ears. Would love to see these types of hypotheticals more on your channel.
Ulquiorra stomps tho. He told everyone from the beginning the hands were rated E for everyone and ONLY lost because of plot armor.
I almost totally agree with your take on how this fight would go. It was very frustrating watching people on forums assuming that as nodt could physically out perform ulquiorra because of "Power up from time skip"
People overrate the Sternritter too much. Yes, they are extremely powerful, but they dont surpass the Shinigami by a large margin(not counting the Elites and Gremmy)
Byakuya was able to cut through As' Blut just with Shikai, but people say He is stronger than Quilge, the Sternritter who was able to put a broken neck back in place after being "demolished " by Ayon and receive Fullbring Zangetsu, the sword that made a swing of his blade look like a Getsuga Tensho,to the neck.
@@nicogmv2364 To be fair, Ichigo did Low diff Quilge. It's a little hard to Scale Quilge because his best ability was his crown of Skalaverei, which ichigo destroyed almost immediately.
As Nodt's the fear is OP but As Nodt literally just stands there in Blut vene trying to activate his ability. I can see Kyoraku beheading As Nodt with a heavy slash through Blut Vene.
You always make amazing videos man. Great scripts and your way of delivering it. Thank you for the content.
Love tuning in when I have the time! As always, awesome video đ„
Congratulations on the growth, and the engagement!
If anything I'd guess Ulquiorras fear would come in the form of being blinded. If he only believes in the things he can see with his own eyes, if you remove his sight what is he left to believe in. That's when the real fear will set in, the fear of not knowing.
Yeah, Ulquiorra hides some pretty deep existential dread, which I think is the source of his nihilism.
I totally agree. I feel like his personality and nihilism coupled with his aspect of despair will probably be enough to either counteract or "dull" the Fear long enough for him to get a win or completely nullify it. Even with his most logical link to fear him being blinded I'm not sure if he would look at it as being scared or just the absence of everything as it was before. He might not even process traditional fear in the same way as others
â@@crackball22He can definitely resist the fear, but without transforming, he cannot purge it. Ulquiorra is absolutely susceptible to Ăs Nödt's fear.
bruh Ulquiorra literaly take out his eye to use his recording ability for others to see lmao
@@theballance9748 But it was only one of his eyes. He's not blinded so long as he got the other eye.
On the topic of the strongest Espada it is worth mentioning that Ulquiorra's number disappear once he goes into his second form. Either a mistake by Kubo, or a hint that he has surpassed the hierarchy.
Prob just a mistake (although I may be biased here since i put an enraged and bloodlusted Stark above Ulquiorra any day of the week)
@@odeiomelao Base Grimmjow owns Stark let alone Ulquiorra
All the espada apart from Yammy lose their tattoos in their resurrection forms. Granted, Ulquiorra and Grimmjowâs bodies are covered up by clothing/armor, but it also happens to Harribel (who is basically naked and her tattoo still disappears) and Nnoitra (whose tongue is visible after his release)

Loved this vid so much!
As Nodt: Feel Fear!!!
Ulqiorra: Excuse me, Nani?
I know people like espada but they're not in league with the quinces. They're are multiple people within the quinces who can solo espada.
Yeah if it was the arrancar arc. Most espadas there are still alive are way stronger. Take Grimmjow, in the Can't fear your own world novel he became so strong Kenpachi wants to fight him and intimidate Candice, a sternritter. Had Ulquiorra survived he would be way stronger than ever.
@@briankao6833 Yeah he would likely have been on the level of the top tiers of the series considering how strong he already was without ever attempting to get stronger. Especially if he managed to get a third release.

This was a highly entertaining video! Came home threw this one as some background noise when I was playing video games and quickly stopped gaming to pay attention to the video, learned a lot of stuff about As Nodt as well. I'm hyped that more Bleach is on the way. Ulquiorra slaps tho ftw
Now THIS is the kind of well thought-out and calculated death battles that I rarely get to see. I really love this and can see plenty of reasons to agree with this outcome.
I agree with the outcome. When you showed the panel where Ulquiorra was about to be cut down by a Hollowfied Ichigo, I don't think that was fear at all. I think that was just pure surprise at how outmatched he was against Hollow Ichigo, or in his own words "a hollowfied human"
It was surprise on Ulquiora's face when Ichigo transformed. All of his reactions to Hollow Ichigo's tactics and counters were of surprise, not fear.
Happy birthday, and congratulations to you and Mrs Tommo!
PLEASE PLEASE PUUULLEASEEE DO MORE OF THESE!!! I need a WHOLE SERIES đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„đ„
I feel like the moment Ăs Nödt says that Ulquiorraâs heart was going to burst, Ulquiorra would say a raw fucking line before going into Segunda.
Ulquiorra could also as he transformed into segunda etapa while the darkness is up tear out his own eyes to negate a second dose of fear. Can always regrow them later
This is such a well done vs! It strays away from the nerdy power scaling that plaques the anime community and looks at the often over looked aspect of each fighterâŠwriter intent. Very well done sir
The Nihilism vs Fear trope is super interesting
Dude Iâm so happy for your engagement! Thatâs got to be so nice to feel like you could spend your life with this woman. I wish you much fertility, good health and wealth!
Here's hoping the anime shows that second form actually doing something. It'd be nice to have an excuse to revisit this matchup from a new angle.
People here arguing whether or not Ulquiorra feels fear, and Iâm in the corner wondering if As Nodt REALLY wants to give the Segundo Etapa Espada an adrenaline rush.
Great job here. There are things I would have never even considered
Dream matchup Tommo, great vid!
I believe Ulq's sheer emptiness would allow him to be virtually immune to Nodt's "fear needles"
Man, I can't wait to see Ulquiorra again in the Hell arc.
Thereâs no guarantee weâll see him but I really want to. His new form would look absolutely terrifying and he would be far more powerful
Heâd only go to hell if he was a bad person when he was a human
@@jocoolshow If I remember correctly, wasn't the big twist in the latest bleach chapter that all powerful beings of captain class spiritual level, end up in hell?
@@alexmartin6561 I think that only refers to beings with souls. Ulquiorra was born as a vasto lorde from the sands of Hueco Mundo which are the remains of ancient hollows, instead of becoming a hollow by being a corrupted human soul. Hollows are purified when a soul reaper's zanpakuto kills them and they either go to Hell or go to the soul society as a plus depending on the deeds they did as a human. Ulquiorra was never human and he disintegrated into sand upon death, so I legit think he doesn't exist anymore.
Congrats again to you and Jade! Very happy for you two
Congratulations man!

Ulq would have decimated most sternritters imo
Awesome video
great vid, i'd like to see a aizen vs Sternritter
I feel like ulquiorra will take this simple because of his raw power and second release. As nodt has a very dangerous ability don't get me wrong but that really all he has, plus another reason he destroyed byakuya is because he stole his bankai other then that as nodt doesn't really have anything else going for him besides his fear ability.
Yhwach said that in order to steal a Bankai, you have to have the raw power to control it. And people forget *Pre Timeskip* Byakuya had the raw stats to kill someone above Ulquiorra along with Kenpachi, and then fight, injure, and take hits from this same Kenny thatâs stronger than Yammy
â@Jo-Smooth I guess that's true but at the end of the day as nodt rely on his fear ability to much. It's one of the reasons he ultimately lost to rukia. Like once someone not effected by his fear, he starts panicking.
I think you are underestimating the psychological impact Ulquiorra's nihilism and apathetic demeanor would affect Ăs Nödt. It would tear away, exponentially, at Ăs' mental stability. As this happens, Ulquiorra would be even more dismissive of his opponent's ability to harm him, further buffering him from fear. Add to that the density and toxicity of Ulquiorra's reiatsu, Ăs could literally be poisoned and driven mad with fear and panic. Add on the idea that Juha could "rebuke" him for a loss...
Thereâs one thing you didnât take into consideration. Ulquiorraâs nihilism and apathetic demeanor wouldnât affect As Nodt as badly as you say because Ulqâs power is far inferior to As Nodt.
Itâs not like Rukia who could resist the fear on top of being able to stomp As Nodt as far as combat goes
Ulquiorra scales below Yammy, who pre timeskip Byakuya was able to easily dismantle along with Kenpachi, with Byakuya not even using his Bankai in attack mode. And to add insult to injury, he then fought Kenny whoâs also stronger than Yammy
Keep in mind they killed second form Yammy, when it was Res Yammy who was said in the manga, novel and data book to be the strongest Espada, the manga calling out Ulquiorra by name
â@@jocoolshowthat's on you if you think Yammy is fucking stronger than Ulquiorra who got off screen he was fighting an Ichigo that's not even half of his reiatsu and tired after almost dying to Ulquiorra and also without using a proper mask
First I'm hearing on the engagement! Congrats! Wishing y'all the best!
Your videos butter my biscuits thank you
I don't think Ulquiorra has fear, maybe by the end of the fight when he died, but mans glared down Hollow Ichigo and said "do it".
Even if it did, it would happen even slower than it did with Byakuya.
In regards to the end of ichigos fight with Ulquiorra it does show that at the least Ulquiorra can feel regret so there is room for an argument for him being able to feel it would just be extremely muted for him
@@zeridoz4464 regret? I dont understand.
@@jeepdino7353 at the very very end scene in the anime Ulquiorra seems regretful as he fades while thinking about orihime
@@zeridoz4464 ehhh
Ulquiorra has this one if we assume As Nodtâs power works like Pennywise: he can only use his power if youâre afraid.
And we all know Ulquiorra isnât afraid of anything.
Except it actually doesn't. Ăs Nödt's Schrift invokes the very primal sensation of fear, and not really of anything in particular. He doesn't need his victims to be afraid to hit them. Also, Ulquiorra absolutely fears things. Heck, I'd argue his nihilism is in a sense rooted in an existential fear of things not existing if he can't see them, or of his original state as a Hollow that only had sight and nothing else.
@@MrGksarathyUlquiorra would be far less effected by his fear than Byakuya.
@@jsphlml Don't disagree. It might take longer, since he is generally pretty detached from his emotions or impulses. That being said, he has potentially less experience with fear than Byakuya did, and he was already unbalanced by Orihime's kindness, compassion, and belief in the "heart". He might not react well to feeling that uncontrollable primal fear, especially if he can't understand it.
@@MrGksarathy I think hollows and arrancars understand primal fear better than anyone. They come from a world where itâs eat or be eaten, rule or serve. Assuming Ulquiorra didnât start out as strong as he was, heâs definitely felt that kind of fear in his life at some point.
@@CaptainKotetsu True. It's why I find the people saying Ulquiorra doesn't feel fear to be just super wrong.
Also, that might make it worse, especially since Ulquiorra was under the belief that he no longer felt anything.
Requesting for a Ulquiorra vs Byakuya discussion!! Both are cold, stern, and seemingly unconquerable walls of power when Ichigo fought them. A match up of these two would be very interesting since there are discussions that Ichigo is nerfed during the Arrancar Arc because of his substitute shinigami badge and this was stated during Fullbring Arc, so the gap between the power levels of Ulq and Byakuya may not be that far off.
This is an awesome fight! I agree with the outcome, too.
I think The Fear should honestly be super effective against Ulqiorra. Considering even basic emotion confuses him when he is opened to it, a power like The Fear would absolutely break his mind.
But it's Bleach. Popularity is a power in and of itself, so Ulqiorra would somehow get the win.
I woulf like to dissagree, the biggest fear, no matter what, is fear of unknown, thats why fearing death is peoples biggest fear uluqiorra accepted death without any fear 2 times (once when ichigo shot a point blank cero, 2nd when he faded away) the only emotion he has ever shown, is surprise. He is very complicated bcuz he has lived in the world of nothingness most of his life and has learned not to fear, and its not like he is afraid of losing someone like kuchiki siblings were. And the biggest advantege is him being a hollow, which is a poison to quincy.
Oh Ulquiorra wins this no questions ask. That dude is the living embodiment of a emotionless hollow being. Nodt fear ability should be less effective against him. At best Nodt will properly push the "4th" espada to release his full power and it's over. This is the same espada who didn't feel anything when he was about to killed vasta lorde ichigo.
I'm so happy for u both.
Ohhh thatâs a Great match up!
Seeing arrancar vs sternritter makes me wonder just how many of the top espada would have had to have survived in order to defend Las noches from the invasion at the start of tybw. Like yes hallibel and nel on their own weren't enough. But with Ulquiora, Stark, Barrigan, even yami. Could honestly be a solid spin off alt timeline manga on its own.
None of the sternritter, Yhwach included, can do anything about Respira. The only way they can avoid losing is by simply not pushing the fight. There's a reason Quincies' whole thing is wiping out the hollows forever, and they never even considered encroaching on the the king's territory while he was still around.
â@@dontmisunderstand6041 Yhwach would blow that shit away with his own breath. He's that much stronger than Barragan.
Don't even get me started on how Yhwach or any high rank sternritter would blitz and one shot him before he can even release.
@@dontmisunderstand6041 Lille can kill Barragan with one headshot. Respira affects everything that can age or dissapear over time. The X-axis is unblockable as it doesn't shot, it destroys anything in front of his aim.
@@traineryvar7123 You do realize that the sternritter are shown pretty firmly to cap out below Grimmjow, right? Who was at best the 5th strongest of the espada. And Yhwach's biggest weakness is specifically time, in case you forgot. Respira is quite literally the best possible counter to him.
@@nicogmv2364 Yeah, that's actually a pretty interesting point that highlights the strengths of Bleach's power system. Pre-auswhalen Lille absolutely could beat Barragan by entirely bypassing Respira, while post-auswhalen Lille, despite being stronger, has no way to actually beat Respira, because based on the events of the story he seems to have lost the power of the x-axis. We can conclude that pretty definitively, as if he could use it, he would've just killed Nanao with it instead of letting her defeat him with his own entirely new and unrelated power set.
guy killed the mc more than once. Plot was his only opponent
Loved it
I donât know if youâve ever done a tier list but Iâm intrigued to know where you rank every bleach villain from S tier to F tierâŒïž
Ulquiorra will feel fear, as I think that people forget how As Nodt's powers work sometimes. Ulquiorra cannot cognitively understand fear or even feel but at the end of day he is still an arrancar a living being. He will feel fear instinctually in fact it may hit him harder than any other character due to him not understanding fear. Also note that As Nodt's reishi thorns just need to touch Ulquiorra to affect him with fear and As Nodt can just use his Völlstandig if he fails to hit him.
Now Ulquiorra does have fire power on his side but I don't see him winning in his first resurreccion. Now if he goes Segunda Etapa the fight would be his as he can blow up As Nodt but that's only if he hasn't lost before using it.
So it's really whether or not Ulquiorra decides to use his 2nd release quickly.
The most basic fear all living things have is of death. The loss of life. Everything living things instinctually do is to continue living. Eating, drinking water, reproducing, etc. Ulquiorra didn't even fear death.
@@toshiro-kano He did fear oblivion, at least before he became an Arrancar, and besides, he was just stoic and didn't understand emotions, not emotionless.
Exactly i dont think most people actually understand what As nodts power actually is or does...

â@@MrGksarathywhen did he feared oblivion it was stated or anything
@@source324 In that one databook that detailed his origins. At least, that's how I interpret the text.
Ulquiorra, if he takes fight absolutely seriously, wins with no difficulty.
If Ulquiorra plays around, then it is a stalemate. ĂS NĂDT can not even hope to catch up or damage Ulquiorra, but being weakened by fear he will not be able to permanently take down ĂS NĂDT.

min 34:32 that could just be Ulquiorra being surprised by the fact that his lanza del relampago did nothing. Loved the video :)
I enjoyed how you authored the hypothetical fight. if it was actually done by the mangaka, I think that it would be very much cast in such a way. I gotta say though, my boy ulquiorra would definitely make quicker work of him. Ulquiorra is the embodiment of cold calculating efficiency, and while he may be capable of feeling fear, he struggles to understand it, it's simply in the back seat of his objective nature.
Ulqiorra is overrated he isnât as strong as you guys make him out to be. He is no.4 no deeper meaning than that, and for the number disappearing so did Harribel, Barragan & Stark.
And he does show fear such as when ichigo hollowfy for the first time against him.
Long story short he could wipe lower sternritters, but any other Quincy floors the natural Arrancar.
I disagree he showed any fear, just surprise. If you genuinely think Harribel's stronger than Ulq' idk what to say. She struggled with Toshiro, who's utterly eclipsed by Vasto Lorde Ichigo.

Oh thats a match i wouldve loved to see
I saw a few Espada eps when I was a kid and thought the characters were interesting but now I've started watching bleach bc of your channel
Just a suggestion, love watching the videos, but have you ever thought about putting your videos on Spotify or other apps for people to listen to?
Iâm hoping for Rukia Vs Toshiro next or hereâs a interesting one Hallibel vs Bazz-B
FUCK YEAH!!! Please do Ulquiorra VS Byakuya!!!!
I kind of wish he survived just so he could have this fight, I feel like it wouldâve been a major part of his development to finally feel an emotion so strongly, and learning to overcome that. But Iâm sure the first time or rather a second emotion to that of the heart, would be quite visceral to see, watching him feel so deeply, and learning to overcome that using the heart he learned from Orihime.
