Summary
Orihime looks on in horror as Ichigo's pierced body slips down the pillar, and she snatches him from the air with her Santen Kesshun. Ulquiorra warns that her powers cannot restore the dead. Uryu opens fire from behind, but the Espada bats the arrows away with a wing, then turns to face him, buying Orihime the chance to reach Ichigo. Even Uryu's Licht Regen leaves Ulquiorra unharmed, and when the Espada remarks on the Quincy's composure, Uryu answers that his calm is exactly what lets him keep fighting.
Key Events
Orihime calls up her Soten Kisshun and begins to heal Ichigo, but his blank, lifeless eyes break her, and she dissolves into tears. Uryu rushes past, blood pouring from the stump that was once his left hand, telling her he has already staunched the wound and to tend to Ichigo, then charges in with a Seele Schneider, only for Ulquiorra to cut him down. Terrified, Orihime raises a shield before him that Ulquiorra's tail smashes apart. At the end of her hope, she cries out for Ichigo to save her, and in answer his hair abruptly lengthens into a wild mane.
