I thought she was still holding back because she was saving herself for Old Man Genocide.

Looks like Capcom could give Kubo trolling lessons...

If you guys follow any Capcom games at all, I thought you might appreciate this.

[up]That's a real dick move.

Harribel is definitely weaker than Ulquiorra. I refuse to believe that Hitsugaya could even last more than 10 seconds with Segunda Etapa Ulquiorra.

Captains>Ichigo

Also, Hollows and Arrancar are stronger in Hueco Mundo than they are in the Human World

I personally believe that Aizen really didn't know about Segunda Etapa, and therefore didn't consider it for Ulquiorra's rank.

I mean, why else would Kubo have put that line about Aizen not knowing about it in there?

To make Ulquiorra more threatening and stop us from questioning why Aizen didn't bring him to Karakura Town.

Also, the translation I read said "Not even Aizen-sama has seen this form".

@Cru Makes me wonder how Ichigo even beat Byakuya.tongue

I was wondering why frisbees got bigger as they got closer then it hit me.

Ichigo's power fluctuates depending on his resolve, or whatever.

I assume second etapa really was a secret from Aizen or he'd have brought the guy along with him. He was trying to see if any of his espada were valuable enough minions to bring with him.

To hype up Emocar more and make his fight with Ichigo more dire and Michael Bay-awesome.

Remember, Aizen apparently watched that fight, expected Ichigo to win and get stronger from it, and had been watching Ichigo from the say he was born...

Man, the bad guys are so full of shit.

Aizen definitely was not watching that fight. He was otherwise occupied at the time.

All he did was set it up, and correctly assume that Ichigo would get another power-up.

HAHAHA. Holy shit. I can't believe they actually went with this old gem for the design.

Furthermore, he left Ulqy there because he assumed he would be a good opponent for him. If he knew about SE, there's no way he would think that. He even says that Ichigo seemed to gain a new power from that fight, judging from his mask, so he isn't aware of the details.

[up][up]Seriously, dick move.

@Saiga, back then, Ichigo's power wildly fluctuated. At one minute he could be stronger than Ulquiorra, the next he's so weak he can't cut Yammy.

Ichigo beat Byakuya because his hollow interfered. If I recall correctly, after that they were both apparently too tired to fight normally so they did that thing where they did a single stroke battle because those never get old.

Also, he didn't really even beat Kenpachi or Byakuya. They both claimed he beat them but he was worse for the wear than they were. But he broke their sword penis so it totally crushed their spirit to go on or something symbolic like that.

Hell, Byakuya walked away from the fight while Ichigo couldn't even stand up anymore. If Byakuya were serious about the fight he could have just sat on Ichigo's throat.

The hollow wouldn't have been necessary of Ichigo wasn't an idiot, and even then it would have been okay if the technique hadn't had a problem that never came up again.

Seriously, what a shitty bankai.

[up][up]Oh yeah...

That was basically the manga saying "Ichigo's strength is whatever the plot says it is".

Aizen knew about Ichigo's protagonist power.

Clearly Aizen watched the fight because while he was in the fire prison, he had a tv on the back of his eyelids. Also, since when were you under the impression he can't be in two places at once.

Not only did they use that design, they made him FAT.

I love that line "you use your bankai and it only gives you average speed?"

Kubo is going to keep the manga going as long as he possibly can because, for some reason, he likes making tons of money.
