Some villains in Seven Deadly Sins have a change of heart, such as Drole and Gloxina, but others are dedicated to the path of wickedness, and that certainly includes Zeldris, who is desperate to keep the Ten Commandments together and prevent them from defecting to the heroes' side.
Back in the Bleach universe, there is another villain who is remarkably similar to Ulquiorra: As Nodt, one of the mighty Sternritter Quincy who fight for Yhwach, the Quincy king.
As Nodt is the master of fear, and he uses his powers and taunting words to rapidly demoralize his enemies. As Nodt is cool, confident and cruel like Ulquiorra, stealing Captain Byakuya Kuchiki's bankai and very nearly killing him with it. Later, As Nodt took great pleasure in tormenting Rukia with his fear effects, and he might have finished her if Byakuya hadn't intervened. Tatara was a ghoul and a powerful member of the Aogiri Tree terrorist organization, serving under the notorious One-Eyed King.
Tatara was cruel and pitiless, and the first time he met Ken Kaneki , he thrust his arm clear through Ken just to test him. Even most other ghouls wouldn't go that far. In addition, Tatara was calm, confident and arrogant, as a mighty ghoul and a high-ranking member of the Aogiri Tree.
That makes him rather similar to Ulquiorra, and interestingly enough, Ulquiorra also likes to punch holes into his enemies with his hands. Askeladd the Viking does have some differences with Ulquiorra; for example, he is fiercely protective of the Welsh people, and is motivated to free the world of Vikings for their sake. Ulquiorra, meanwhile, only cares about himself and Aizen. Otherwise, though, some parallels can be drawn between the two characters.
Askeladd is also cunning, ruthless and remorseless, and he isn't too quick to jump into an iffy situation, which sets him apart from other Vikings. He is calculating and patient, and he almost thinks like an assassin, like Ulquiorra.
Diavolo, the mob boss in charge of the Passione Gang, is a bit on the paranoid side. He will go to any lengths to protect his identity and his criminal empire, and he's not above sending ruthless assassinsto get the job done. Failing that, he'll assassinate his enemies in person. All that is clearly reminiscent of Ulquiorra Schiffer, and Diavolo is also confident to the point of arrogant and likes to talk down to his helpless opponents such as Bruno Bucciarati before finishing them off with a single strike.
His facial expression rarely changes, and he is almost always frowning. He wears typical Arrancar clothes: a white jacket, black sash, and a white hakama. However, his jacket seems to have longer coattails than others, and the collar is rather high.
Like most other Arrancar, he possesses remnants of his former life as a Hollow in his appearance. His Hollow hole is located on his sternum, though initially, the hole was located on the base of his throat, a change that was seen in both the manga and anime.
The remainder of his Hollow mask lies on top of his head, forming a broken horned helmet. He is the fourth-ranked Espada, signified by the tattoo on the left side of his chest. Ulquiorra is a very cold, callous, dispassionate figure, and is rather aloof, brooding, and indifferent, willing to harm both his comrades and enemies should they ever get in his way.
He refers to anyone he does not find interesting as "trash" and treats them as expendable. Despite this, like most of the other top Espada, he is not particularly violent and will only fight when provoked or ordered to by Aizen. Ulquiorra demonstrates a strange habit when killing victims he is particularly interested in, stabbing them with his bare hand in the same location as his Hollow hole, as stated by Grimmjow.
Whether he is consciously aware of this habit or not is unknown. During a speech to Orihime, he claims that he does not believe in Human emotions, which he refers to as the "heart," reasoning that if his eye cannot see them, then they do not exist. These words, and much of Ulquiorra's overall behavior, reflect the concepts of materialism, which also connects to his aspect of death as an Espada, Emptiness.
In the last seconds of his life, he seems to finally find his own "heart" and understand feelings. His cold demeanor allows him to stay completely calm and in control in most situations, and he is not easily surprised or caught off-guard. Because of this he shouts at Ichigo out of frustration, telling him that "to continue fighting is pointless. Ulquiorra is also highly perceptive, cunning, and analytical.
During his and Yammy's first visit to the Human world, he makes several surprisingly accurate remarks on the Humans who confronted them. He theorizes that Orihime Inoue's healing power is a temporal-spatial ability, which Aizen later describes as the rejection of fate, and comments on how Ichigo Kurosaki's Bankai can easily cut through Yammy's defenses. He also notes that Ichigo's power fluctuates, varying between very weak and stronger than his own. Ulquiorra seems to be demanding as well, such as when he came to Orihime's chamber and ordered her to eat a meal an Arrancar servant brought in, claiming that, for Aizen's benefit, it was her "duty" to stay alive.
When Orihime hesitates, he threatens to force the food down her throat, or strap her to a table and feed her via an IV. This also implies that, while he prefers not to dirty his hands, Ulquiorra is fully capable of committing truly abhorrent and inhumane actions without feeling any shred of remorse or hesitation. After Ichigo's Hollow form overwhelms and strikes him down during his last battle, Ulquiorra still maintains his composure and calmly berates himself for being defeated by a "Human-turned-Hollow.
Ulquiorra is first seen alongside Yammy Llargo when they arrive in Karakura Town to gain information on Ichigo Kurosaki. Yammy comments on his lack of enthusiasm being in the human world, which prompts Ulquiorra to mention that he insisted on coming with him so he shouldn't complain.
Yammy apologizes and becomes uneasy that people are starting to gather at the sight they arrived, feeling that they are staring at him. Yammy states he will eat now and uses his Gonzui ability, only to find, much to his displeasure, that the souls are foul tasting.
Ulquiorra asks him why he expected such weak souls to taste good and explains to his fellow Arrancar that the humans can't see them, so therefore they couldn't have been staring at him.
Yammy admits that he knew before asking who they came to kill. Ulquiorra mentions that they have only come to kill one being and the others can be left alone. When Yammy admits that such a task would be hard. Ulquiorra details that there are currently only three beings of note with any spiritual strength. Upon the arrival of Chad and Orihime Inoue an altercation ensues, resulting in Chad becoming fatally injured. Ulquiorra watches as Yammy attempts to dispatch Orihime, only to be stopped by her Santen Kesshun technique.
Upon noticing this himself Ulquiorra realizes that it is not healing, as it looks more like time reversal or spatial renewal but nothing as simple as healing, making note that he has never seen such a technique before. He then mentions that Orihime is quite strange for a human. When she tries to attack using her Koten Zanshun technique Yammy easily stops it, much to her dismay.
Yammy then asks what should be done with her, with Ulquiorra telling him to simply kill her, but he is quickly stopped by the timely arrival of Ichigo.
Somewhat confused, Yammy asks Ulquiorra if this is the target they were meant to find. Ulquiorra confirms that he is and applauds Yammy's lack of subtlety as the reason Ichigo became aware of their presence so fast. He then witnesses with feigned surprise as Ichigo effortlessly blocks Yammy's attack and then cuts off the Arrancar's left arm. As Ulquiorra watches the fight between Ichigo and Yammy, he makes note to himself about Yammy's lack of refinement in battle, as he constantly recklessly charges into battle against Ulquiorra's instruction to learn to read his opponents.
Though he readily admits that he is surprised that Ichigo was able to cut through Yammy's Hierro and though he has heard that Ichigo has only just recently attained Bankai, he is taken aback that his reiatsu is so solid. However, he reasons to himself that at his current level Ichigo is no threat to Aizen. After Ichigo soundly beats Yammy, Ulquiorra comments that he is struggling and asks if he wants to switch.
Ulquiorra watches as Yammy attacks a distracted Ichigo until he is saved by the arrival of Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin. After Yammy is effortlessly beaten by Yoruichi and begins to battle Urahara, who fires a blast at Yammy, Ulquiorra steps in and deflects the blast away from them. He then impales Yammy in the stomach with his hand, scolding him for being so reckless and questioning if he knew just who the two he faced are.
He mentions that at Yammy's current level he will not win no matter how much he tries. Ulquiorra then opens a Garganta and tells Yammy that it is time for them to retreat. When Yoruichi questions if they are running away, Ulquiorra plainly tells her that she is foolish to make such a taunt, making note that, if the two of them tried to fight him while protecting the others, it is obvious who would emerge the winner. Ulquiorra then states that his mission is over and that he will report to Aizen that the 'fake' Soul Reaper he was interested in is nothing more than a piece of trash.
Ulquiorra removes his left eye and crushes it, causing it to turn into dust and asks that they all look carefully as it swirls around them, showing them an account of what took place on his mission from his point of view. As Aizen sees for himself, he begins to understand why Ulquiorra chose not to kill Ichigo. As Ulquiorra begins to explain his reasoning, he is interrupted by Grimmjow Jaegerjaques , who questions his choice to allow Ichigo and his friends live as, regardless of their threat level, they are their enemies.
Grimmjow begins to taunt Yammy, but Ulquiorra steps in and ends the building altercation. He then explains that the problem is not Ichigo, as what Aizen is observing is not Ichigo in his current state but his growth rate. Although it is true that his growth rate is quite high, it is disproportionately unstable because it is so immense. He then states that, if they were to just leave him alone, he would eventually destroy himself or become one of their pawns.
Grimmjow finds the argument pointless as Ulquiorra could be wrong and he might get powerful enough to get in their way, but Ulquiorra brushes it aside, stating that, if it came to that, he would finish him off himself. Despite the argument, Aizen congratulates Ulquiorra on his work in completing the mission. A month later Ulquiorra arrives just as Yammy's arm is being reattached.
He comments that it was a good idea to bring Yammy's severed arm back though the other Arrancar complains that it will rot as it will take far too long to heal. Yammy then states that it would be nice if their bodies healed on their own like Ulquiorra's eyeballs do.
Ulquiorra comments that he should just be happy they could reattach it, as, if his arm was completely destroyed like Grimmjow's was, he would have been kicked out of the Espada as well. Yammy agrees and, after his arm is fixed, they depart as Ulquiorra tells him that Aizen has summoned them.
They show up just in time to join several other Espada including Grimmjow's replacement Luppi Antenor at the creation of an Arrancar. He then explains how he is capable of using it at full power, resulting in the creation of Wonderweiss Margela.
Aizen then asks Ulquiorra if he remembers the directive he gave him last month. The latter acknowledges that he does, with Aizen placing his full confidence in him to do what he deems necessary to carry out the mission, including allowing him to take whomever he chooses though he insists Grimmjow go along as well.
As she travels through the waste dimension from Soul Society to the Human world, she is accompanied by two Soul Reapers. She is startled at the arrival of Ulquiorra via Garganta, who questions Soul Society's use of only two escorts. Though he states that only two guards aren't to his liking, he notes that the disabling of the Koryu is rather convenient for him, as he claims it is not his style to rush a conversation.
Before the other escort can get away, however, he is fatally injured as well by another Bala blast. Orihime widens her field of healing to encompass both injured men. Ulquiorra is amazed at the level of her power and tells her to come with him and not to speak as her answer will have to be yes, for if she says anything else he will kill her. However, he spares her as he reasons that he will kill her friends anyway.
He then shows her friends engaged in their own fights elsewhere. Ulquiorra continues explaining that she is not to speak or ask questions as she has no rights; they are not negotiating and it is entirely up to her if her friends die. He then explains that Aizen desires her power and he is under orders to bring her back unharmed. He then states that their mission is accomplished and multiple Garganta open up to take back the Arrancar present via Negacion.
As they leave, Ulquiorra notices that within Ichigo's reiatsu there are traces of a new power that he has acquired, but is unsure as to what extent. By threatening her friends' lives, he convinces Orihime to come peacefully, allowing her to say goodbye to one person beforehand. This makes it appear as if she betrayed her friends of her own free will. He has her display her powers to all Espada assembled, by "regenerating" Grimmjow's arm much to the disbelief of Luppi who believed such a thing impossible.
Aizen has Ulquiorra confirm this is the power that he spoke of upon his first excursion into the Human world. He then silently watches as Grimmjow has Orihime heals his Espada tattoo and summarily kill Luppi to fully regain his position in the Espada ranks.
Afterwards, Aizen warns the Espada to treat the intruders with caution as just four of them went into Soul Society and faced the 13 Court Guard Squads. Zommari Lureaux notes that he is missing one as there are only three intruders currently. Ulquiorra mentions that they are missing Orihime. He then sits silently as the other Espada argue until Grimmjow interrupts them by attempting to walk out against Aizen's orders.
He, alongside the other Espada, sits silently while Aizen subdues Grimmjow with his Spiritual Pressure to keep him in line. Shortly afterwards, Ulquiorra arrives in the room where Orihime is being kept in Las Noches and informs her that her friends have infiltrated Hueco Mundo. When she asks why, Ulquiorra explains that they have come to rescue her and that it is the only reason they need.
He then states that for her such a thing should have no more meaning, because, in both mind and body, she is their comrade. He explains that her wearing the same clothes as the Arrancar signify that concept. He then forces her to acknowledge that her clothes signify that her mind and body exist for Aizen's will. As Ulquiorra leaves Orihime, he acknowledges that, although she showed dismay for a second and didn't flinch at his questions, this is a girl of strong spirit.
His thoughts are interrupted by Nnoitora Gilga, who asks how his handling of the girl is and explains how he knew all about how Aizen had entrusted her care to him. He then asks how far along he has gotten in "taming" her, but Ulquiorra ignores him and walks away, calling him degenerate scum.
Undeterred, Nnoitra uses Sonido to move in front of him and asks Ulquiorra to not get so testy as he is only asking if everything is going well. Making the point that she was struggling against a opponent that can freeze water into ice is baseless, of course thats gonna be the case. More importantly you are basing alot on something you cant verify.
All that can be proven is that Ulquiorra is capable of overpowering Ichigo with a hollow mask in bankai. That Ulquiorra can overpower Ichigo after his first release and then he can overpower Ichigo in his second release.
So all in all he is more powerful then Ichigo until he wasnt and left so injured that he turned to dust, by a hollow form version of Ichigo.
So in the end looks like Ichigo is more powerful then ulquiorra in whatever form and it doesnt really matter what anyone thinks he was powerful enough to do. One thing he couldnt do was beat someone with inconsistent power. Also to point out Harribel lived through her encounter with no second release either. It was a plot device nothing more. Very true, fights are not always determined by strength as certain abilities will have weaknesses!!
Undoubtedly, Harribel is probably the strongest Water User in Hueco Mundo and she was facing the strongest Ice User in Soul Society, they both used their opponents attacks and diffused them!! Granted, I like Ulquiorra I always have, I enjoy different characters!! However, I do not like people attempting to make him better than he is!! The Espada are ranked, this is why Yammy's release was so shocking and why it took two captains fighting to defeat him and they came back with injuries!!
There is no proof, none what so ever, to state that Ulquiorra is stronger than Harribel and I dislike her character!! And on the Ichigo case, comparing him now to Shinigami is annoying, he is a very complicated case given his genes!!
He very rarely goes into a fight against high-level opponents and comes out injury-free because his powers and strengths fluctuate all the time!! Also, just to point out, Starrk, Baraggan and Halibel had the worst possible matchups in their fights. If it was Starrk vs.
Hachi and Baraggan vs. Kyoraku and Ukitake, I'm pretty sure the outcome would be very different. Halibel yes shes strong with water but sheer energy versus water Starrk ahh his power is his weakness, soul separation. I think Baraggan wud be considered the most challenging of the three due to his abilities. An analyst with the power to back it up I just don't see how you can compare Ulquiorra's intellect, with genii such as Kisuke and Aizen. What did Ulquiorra, of all people, ever do to deserve such praise!??
