Ichigo vs Ulquiorra is such an iconic fight. I still get goosebumps to this day. One of my favorite anime fights ever.

Wellz: "imagine getting yo ass whoop and the dude turns up more" brah 😂😂😂I died laughing

he wasn't asking for mercy he was surprised he was acting fully like a hollow

"In this palm... is a heart." This goes back to Kaien's words, "Heart isn't something inside you. But whenever you think, whenever you remember someone, that's when heart is born." Ulquiorra gained a heart, but at what cost 😔

“So a Lamborghini Murcielago is a Bat-Mobile.” Jerry, that’s one of the greatest things anybodies ever said.

When Ulquiorra was first introduced to us as Ichigo was fighting Yammy he said something very interesting. When the hollow interfered Ichigo in his fight Ulquiorra noticed something interesting. Ichigo's spiritual pressure is very unstable, when it's low it's shit but when it's high it's higher than his own. So when exactly is that higher than Ulquiorra's? That's this moment. Another interesting thing is how Ichigo's hole got healed during the first fight with Ulquiorra. When Orihime tried to heal Ichigo she said she couldn't reject the wound so how did it heal? That's because of what happened here, that is, instant regeneration. Ichigo's hollow was shown to have instant regeneration during the Vizard training. Another interesting thing is how Hollow Ichigo was able to take control. The last time we saw him he said he'll take over if Ichigo kept lacking. So when Ulquiorra "killed" Ichigo in the first fight, Hollow Ichigo started taking over slowly. He healed the hole, and after that Ichigo was able to hold his mask longer and that was because the hollow was gaining more control. Remember when Chad said being in Hueco Mundo influences Chad's powers as it is closer to hollows. So that also helped Ichigo to get stronger as his hollow had more control. This is further signified from the changed mask design. Ichigo's mask has been changing ever since soul society arc and it signifies how Ichigo gains his strength and it's not because of fights but what's happening to him. On a poetic sense there are various stuff that's happening here. Ulquiorra's nihilism Vs Orihime's existentialism, Ichigo becoming more like a hollow while Ulquiorra turning more into a human, Ulquiorra realising what a heart is as he's dying which is so good as his entire existence is based on nihilism and when he realised what a heart is which is completely opposite to nihilism he no longer existed. These are some of the stuff that you notice when you place close attention to the things that is shown.

Curious fact: In the mangá, Ulquiorra really cut Uryu's arm. From now, there will be a lot of censure on the anime

"That's a gran rey cero" "Yeah I think so" Bruh Ulquiorra JUST told y'all it's called Cero Oscuras...

For a fight over 10years old it's fantastic

This will forever be one of the most iconic fights in all of anime

You actually HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION in this fight , some poetic shit going on

Poor Ishida, mans got his arm ripped off (in the manga), then his friend yeeted a sword through his chest and he almost took a point-blank cero to the face lmao

"That's the craziest face palm I've ever seen" 😂😂😂😂 So...who gon tell um

If you really tried to understand Ulquiorra's character you'll actually be more sad than happy that ichigo won

Any anime character ever: *screams during a fight* These guys: “Ah yes, vegeta”

The fight between ulquiorra was supposed to be longer and much more even but because the anime and manga was being rushed tite kubo made it one sided. In the hell verse movie the first few scenes has a reanimated version of the fight if you want to check that out.

This fight is iconic, I swear Ichigo has one of the best berserker mode in all anime

Ichigo and Ulqiuorra were hardly going "blow for blow" before the transformation. Ulqiuorra was hardly even trying compared to Ichigo and you could see that Ichigo was trying *way harder* to kill Ulqiuorra than vice versa. Ulqiuorra was essentially always superior until Ichigo transformed.

Uryu: “if I get any closer, I’ll give him the advantage” Ulqiorra: 😐

One of the goated fights in anime. The animation and the Bleach's amazing osts throughout is on point of course. Based off Segunda Etapa I think Ulquiorra should be number 1 espada. Ichigo's transformation was too fire, he gave Ulq a run for his money. Only thing for me is I hate how this fight ended. It's sad how Ulq went out though. At the end he became interested in humans and knowing what a heart is. RIP to one of the coolest villains.

Y'all need to know that the Bleach anime is HEAVILY censored and for example, Uryu actually lost his arm there.

One of the moments we’ve all been waiting for since they started Bleach. 🔥

Ulquiorra went all out because he trying to break ichigos will not kill him.

did they forget ichigo doesn't kill really lol so uryu was stopping him

Remember that all hollows possess regeneration (the rate depends on their power level). Since Ichigo is part hollow, it's not far fetched that he has that ability too. Also Ulquiorra's organs did get damaged in the blast. At that point his regeneration was just straining so much, he even noted it's becoming superficial. That's the reason why he turned to dust later on. Thus still stays true to the claim that damaging his organs are fatal.

"imagine getting your ass whooped and the dude turns up more?" Best line ever💀💀💀

Btw when Ichigo collapsed at the end and Orihime screamed "Don't die you cant leave me" right after her whole monologue about not relying on him anymore, that was a dubbing error. That line was not in the sub or manga, idk why the dub decided to throw it in there.

My favorite fight in this series till date. Uliquiorras character and backstory really melancholic. Remember the time he said his eyes reflect nothing and in the end we see orihime in his eyes signifying that he did regain a heart.

25:45 “Will Power Alumn” shit had me dead 💀

WARNING!!!This episode may contain Epicness that could be to intense for veiwers with a weak heart🔥🔥🔥

He became a hollow due to being called for after death by the person he cares about. Gave him tethers back

The reason why the fight didn’t go back to back is because shonen jump was telling kubo the creator of bleach to hurry up and finish the show that’s why he didn’t have time to draw the fight the way HE WANTED, and there’s a scene in the beginning of the movie “Bleach Hell Verse” of the final fight between ichigo and ulq but the way he actually wanted the fight to be like.

Evan: *breathes* Jerry: "SHE KILLED AN ESPADA THO WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???!"

Ulquiorra: "Daddy, Chill.." Ichigo: "WHAT THE HELL IS EVEN THAT?!"

The funny thing is, Uryu knew full well that Ichigo wasn't quite there but still went up and stopped him. Uryu has that unsure mixtures of insanity and balls and I love him for it.

I hate Rob but ngl, Ichigo is the definition of willpower!

I oddly look forward to Robs reactions the most except this guy is bipolar AF. He will either be sleepy/grumpy or energised/hyped. There are no Inbetweens. Unfortunately during one of the most hype parts of Bleach he seemed more disinterested than anything...

ulquiorra hoenstly always gelt reserved and power felt higher than 1 but we never know

Ulquiorra wasn‘t trying to be disrespectful. He wanted Ichigo to feel real despair hoping he would finally give up. This entire time Ulquiorra was trying to figure out what this so called heart is and why humans act the way they do. He didn‘t understand why Ichigo just kept on fighting despite having no chance so he just tried to overpower him more and more. Ulquiorra is one of the most well written characters I have seen in general and his death while being one of the most beautiful is also one of the saddest as he finally understood the meaning of a heart but had to die at that exact moment. I love Ulquiorra man

“Ichigo, the main character loses his humanity and becomes a heartless demonic monster, while on the other hand the monster and killer Ulquiorra slowly gains emotions and his humanity from a possible past life. When a main character loses himself in an epic, unholy transformation, goes crazy and start rampaging everywhere on a killing frenzy, as a result of a justified aggression outburst against evil, causing everyone around them good or bad to start shitting themselves = The best and most legendary moments in anime. (Ex. Goku going SuperSaiyan against Frieza, Naruto going Nine tails against Pain, Gon using everything against Pitou, and now Ichigo losing himself to the hollow “White” and becoming a Vasto Lorde beast, equivalent to the 666 beast of Christianity.) Now for some clarifications: Uryu’s arm in the manga was actually ripped off completely when Ulquiorra grabbed him and prevented him from attacking that last time. As for Ulquiorra, he could not understand the concept of the “Heart” which was introduced By Kaien and his connections with Rukia about people being connected and having bonds. Now Orihime who is filled with nothing but those emotions was able to remind him what it is to be human or rather mortal, it wasn’t out of love/romance nor jealousy, it was out of care and understanding that he finally found salvation and peace from his nihilistic and emotionless self, free from Aizen’s deceitful clutches, it’s truly poetic having A spirit knowing nothing but gaining understanding of “Everything” And with that he’s one of, if not the most complex and beautifully written character in all of 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥 BLEACH🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 R.I.P. Ulquiorra Cifer, see you in your Unmasked origin. Also, just finished watching the reaction and ngl, aside from the action in EP 271, Ulquiorra’s Death is one of the most sorrowfully sombering deaths in all of anime, right next to Jiraiya’s death in Shippuden. Further discussions will be on his Power/Ranking placement stance amongst and against other Espada……yeah more on that later until after we see the other Espada in action. Hopefully RT TV will see the truth and come to the proper conclusion themselves that the rankings are based on nothing but pure Spiritual pressure/Energy which doesn’t necessarily mean that you can beat just anyone that has less of it.”

Why did they started setting the reminder for the premier so early?

From now on, can we PLZ NOT talk about Vegeta or Sasuke or FMAB while IMPORTANT BLEACH MOMENTS ARE HAPPENING. THX

This fight was lit back in the days and it still is 🔥

Fun fact: the reason why ichigo beat him so fast after he transformed was because kubo was rushed during this. In the beginning of the Hell Verse movie, we see an EVEN fight between them. That’s how the fight was meant to be after he transformed

This fight was so gas, everything about it was just 🧑🏿‍🍳👌🏿

just to clear it up sausuke not standing a chance against anybody in bleach

Ulquiorra: Go ahead and finish me off, I lost. Rt TV: Hah, he's begging for mercy.

Everyone also gotta realise ichigo is a SOUL REAPER so don't compare the durability of humans with them

Best fight in Bleach hands down. Others can only come close (vs Kenpachi, vs Byakuya, vs Aizen)

This is what I’ve been waiting for! Let’s go! Truly top tier GOAT shit right here 🤘🏽

These guys was not going blow for blow. Ulquiorra smashed ichigo and even killed him twice. It was a one sided match til the Long hair ichigo

Ichigo vs Ulquiorra fight was remastered in the Hell Verse Bleach movie

Literally one of the best fights.

Have they watched the Hell movie opening of Ichigo VS Ulquiorra in the new artstyle?

this fight started literally 56 episodes ago in anime time. We had to wait an entire year for the conclusion of the fight, when it was first coming out I really wanted a lot more from Ulquiorra as a character. I think part of it was the fact the guy who made the series was worn down at this point from the demanding weekly schedule of Shonin anime back in the day.

14:55 well you guys were kinda right, in the manga Uryu's arm did come off. However the anime censored it along with many other things

He died just after learning how to feel. Because ichigo stopped feeling.

Low key they should react the movie version of this fight just for the fun of it. It’s only like a minute tho.

I love how the Vasto Lorde theme just instantly plays strong and terrifying. Sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.

Ichigo's whole backstory will be revealed in Thousand Years Blood War arc

Y’all should watch Bleach: Hell Verse, the fight between Ichigo and Ulquiorra is more like how the creator wanted. The way they directed the fight wasn’t like how Tite Kubo wanted it, the fight WAS supposed to be more back and forth which is what they did in the movie.

That 2nd form of Ulquiorra was pretty much showing that even though there is the #1 Espada Stark in the World of the Living, the actual Espada ranking might be off. Especially since Ulquiorra never showed that form to ANYONE.

Ulquiorra face palms Ichigo. Patrick: That's one of the greatest face palms I have ever seen. Ironic

This fight was absolutely fire and anyone who says it’s “plot armor” you clearly haven’t watched the show

I’m so happy that more people are giving bleach a chance

"Quincy Gang!!!" Boy, the last arc is gonna be so bittersweet for him.

Ulquiorra is probably my favorite character in Bleach. I never get sick of seeing him.

😭😭NAH YALL GOT ME CRYIN!!! Orihime over here breaking down and y’all having a whole discussion😂😂

I would like to talk to these guys. At least once. It would be a nice moment. Just so that I can explain something to them and how two different stories cannot be compared and how different roles the characters play

The hellverse flashback to this fight is *chef kiss* pure beauty

remember the chapter where white ichigo tells ichigo to "always be on guard, since he will be waiting for any opportunity to take that title (king) and warning him that he should not die before returning to this place. in case anyone had doubts about why ichigo transforms into a vast color is because white ichigo takes complete control of ichigo.

Hands down the best fight in the show I'm so glad you guys reacted in a three-part series

That's a Vasto lorde Ichigo not just a hollow. that form has the capability of breaking down the gates off hell. So it's not a good thing when Ichigo uses that form

Ulquiorra the first antagonist who almost kills the main protagonist two times in the series

I like how whenever Rob tries to say one person is better than this person, the rest of them instantly say “no…” sometimes

This finna be lit, even tho i already saw it on patreon🔥

Bro yall are buggin 😭😭😭 this fight was never back and forth, yall are forgetting he killed ichigo twice. Before the transformation ichigo was getting his ass beat, he got a hit off and then got his ass beat again, and then the bullshit happened with the hollow transformation and then he won the fight

Bleach makes full metal looks like Chucky Cheese! yes!

best fight in bleach.

i think u guys shouldnt skip the zanpakuto rebellion filler arc

Unpopular opinion: ulquiorra was best written villain in bleach and the story itself was at its peak when he was the main villain🔥🔥🔥

Ichigo took on the form of a Vasto Lorde which is like the most powerful an Espada can get.

Bleach’s number 1 fight

Y'all got the brain of a 4yr old sometimes 😂😂😂

Uh Oh our boy Rob really starting to lose his hair from all that hating lol.

"He can't knit either" -Wellz 😭😭 I am in tears

That is Ichigo as the most powerful form of Hollow. He’s a Vastō Lordé.

People will say Orihime is dumb, but honestly, it kind of makes sense. Ichigo's whole thing is that he always feels obligated to protect those around him from harm. Orihime has the fighting spirit of a mouse, so of course she relies too much on others to save her from danger. This is a cry of delusion, answered by an impossible resureccion.

I’m with Wells on this one if Ichigo didn’t transform he would’ve lost and he barely got any hits until he transformed

Ulquiorra is the only one to truly defeat Ichigo, will always be my favorite antagonist because he outclassed the hero in the most crazy of times(Hollow Ichigo was the only reason he survived such a beat-down, get over it haters)

Ulquiorra in his first form was already way stronger than Ichigo with the Hollow mask, he was chilling, fighting almost with just one hand and taking getsuga like if it was nothing.Ulquiorra have done his release for see him deseperate, it was unnecessary just like it was unnecessary doing the second one

Rob should wear a 'eat sleep hate' t-shirt instead

Why they pretending like they dont know ichigo is about to transform when rob is LITERALLY wearing a hoodie of the tranformation lmao.

Ulquiorra is the best character in this show

Fun fact: hollow ichigo fought entirely with his eyes closed.

In the Bleach Hell Verse movie, there's a small clip of the Hollow Ichigo v. Ulquiorra fight where there's more back and forth. The creator stated that Ulquiorras 2nd form was supposed to be an equal to Hollow Ichigo but because he was pressed for time, this is the version we got. But Ulquiorra was the GOAT.

3:07 That scream was fire!! Human yet demonic and hollow like.

*Daily Reminder* : That this was less than half of ichigos true power in this form...

Has anyone told them that their fight is depicted in the Hell verse movie? Kubo envisioned the fight as being more even between hollow Ichigo and 2nd resurrection Ulquiorra, and so they put a movie quality version of the fight in the Hell verse movie, if you guys wanna check it out. Also, yes, Uryu lost his hand, but the anime censors dismemberment heavily

cant wait!!!! debatably the best bleach fight ever!! this finna be lit !!!
