Main Characters (4)
Summary
A slice from Ulquiorra shears away a chunk of Ichigo's Hollow mask, and Ichigo grasps that he is outmatched. Ulquiorra acknowledges the mask has made him stronger, yet points out that he broke it all the same before renewing his assault. Below the dome, Uryu realizes the sky of Las Noches is an illusion and reassures a worried Orihime that Ichigo will pull through.
Key Events
Ichigo brakes his fall by driving Zangetsu into the ground and hastily rebuilds part of his mask before Ulquiorra locks blades with him. The Espada dares him to fire a Getsuga Tensho to prove his growth, and Ichigo obliges, only for Ulquiorra to emerge untouched, calling himself merely human after all and noting that the technique resembles his own black Cero. He then answers at once with a massive black Cero that engulfs Ichigo.
