Resurrection Looks:
- Spoiler:
Murciélago unleashes a black (with green outline) burst of spiritual energy that falls around Ulquiorra as green rain. In his released state, Ulquiorra becomes bat-like in appearance. While in this form he gains large black bat wings on his back, his hair becomes longer and wilder, and the remains of his Hollow mask centers atop his head, with two large horns extending outward to the sides towards the front. The lines on his face become black, broader and more triangular and his fingernails lengthen. His Arrancar attire becomes more form fitting and closed at the top, becoming more like a robe towards the bottom. In this form, he can use his wings for flight
Elemental family: Lightning
Resurrection ability(ies): After entering his Resurrection, Ulquiorra's natural abilities increase drastically. His speed and spritual pressure spike upwards and his Hierro is capable of withstanding the most powerful attacks without taking damage. He also can use Javelin Generation inwhich he is shown to have the ability to generate green energy javelins. He uses them as ranged weapons throwing them at an opponent and as a melee weapon. Ulquiorra can also use Cero Oscuras, Spanish for "Dark Zero", Japanese for "Black Hollow Flash. It is a black Cero with a green outline to it, which Ulquiorra states to be similar to Ichigo's black Getsuga Tenshō. Ulquiorra's Cero Oscuras is powerful enough to blast Ichigo's mask away and destroy a large part of the city-sized Las Noches' dome. This unique cero can also be charged and fired instantly giving an opponent literally no reaction time.
Second ressurection:Yes
Second ressurection looks:- Spoiler:
Second ressurection ability: Upon entering this state Ulquiorra's already vast spiritual power is significantly increased furthermore. Even being within the vicinity of his release instils despair on those who can sense it. Uryū Ishida, a Quincy who is an expert at sensing reiatsu, noted that the density of Ulquiorra's spiritual power was so vast that it could hardly be identified as reiatsu. His most noticable ability however is the Lanza del Relámpago, Spanish for "Lance of the Lightning", Japanese for "Lance of Thunder and Lightning". Ulquiorra creates a javelin-like weapon using his spiritual power, which he can use as a projectile or as a physical weapon. When thrown, it produces an incredibly-destructive explosion on impact, which dwarfs the fortress of Las Noches in height. Ulquiorra prefers to not use the attack at close range, most likely because the resulting blast would damage himself as well as Las Noches. While he can use these spears in rapid succession, he has difficulty controlling their trajectory. Ulquiorra is also able to use this attack as a blade, and he can use it to either disintegrate material upon impact, as seen when he struck away his own amputated arm that Hollow Ichigo had just thrown at him; or to cut, as seen when he used it to sever one of Hollow Ichigo's horns to prevent him from using a Cero on Uryū.
Personality and backround
Personality: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 has a strange habit of killing victims he is particularly interested in by 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 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, can lead one to assume that he is a firm believer in the concept of materialism, which also connects to his aspect of death as an Espada, nihilism.
His cold demeanor allows him to stay completely calm and in control in most situations, and he is not easy surprised or caught off-guard. However, he does not seem to comprehend the human trait of fighting against all odds or the very concept of the Human heart/emotions; during his latest battle with Ichigo, he completely overwhelms the Shinigami after releasing his Zanpakutō, yet Ichigo continues to fight on regardless. This briefly causes him to lose his cool, causing him to shout at Ichigo out of frustration that "to continue fighting is pointless". He then transforms into his Segunda Etapa form in an attempt to show him "true despair". He also seems to contradict himself, telling Ichigo that it's natural for humans to mimic hollows to become stronger; but they will never be the equal of hollows, though the Arrancar are doing much of the same by imitating Shinigami.
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 Ichigo's power fluctuation, which varies 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 hesitated, he threatened 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.
Backround: Ulquiorra is first seen alongside Yammy Riyalgo 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 they are staring at him. Yammy states he will eat now and uses his Gonzui ability only to find much to his displeasure the souls are foul tasting. Ulquiorra asks him what did he expect, such weak souls to taste good. Explaining to his fellow Arrancar that the humans can't see them so therefore they couldn't have been staring at him, to which Yammy admits that he knows before asking who have they come 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 a altercation occurs resulting in Chad becoming fatally injured. Ulquiorra watches as Yammy attempts to dispatch Orihime only to be stopped by her Santen Kesshun technique, then Yammy notices her Sōten Kisshun technique being used on Chad and questions if she is healing him. 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 a 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.
Role-play Sample: As Orihime and her two shinigami guards ran from the Soul Society to the World of the Living, a voice echoed. "What's this? Only two guards? The Soul Societies incompetence never ceases to amaze me", the voice said as a Garganta slowly opened. The guards as well as Orihime stopped and turned around as the Garganta slowly opened more as the voice continued to speak calmly. "They just dont seem to understand that a person is most vunerable when they are traveling". At that sentence the Garganta fully opened, revealing Ulquiorra to the three. The two shinigami went into a ready stance as Ulquiorra stepped out, his hands in his pockets. "Only two guards?", he repeated before continuing, "I must admit I'm disappointed in the Soul Society. Although it is convinent that the restricted currents here have been frozen.", he said as he walked closer to the group. "It's not in my nature to burst in like this...but I thought we needed to talk", he said as he stopped walking. The two shinigami drew their swords. "Who the hell are you anyway...are you an arrancar?", they asked. Ulquiorra didnt respond however, he just slowly lifted his left hand from his pocket. "No way, you said you just wanted to talk", Orihime yelled, but it was two late. Ulquiorra's Bala had dispatched one of the shinigami already. As his arm discharged he then spoke, "Yes I came to talk..for I have something important to tell you". Orihime then used her abilities to heal the man. While doing this, she turned to the next man telling him to run...however it was too late. That man took a bala as well, leaving him for dead. Orihime extended his abilities to heal the second shinigami as Ulquiorra walked up. "I must say thats an impressive ability you possess, to heal wounds that deep. Now come with me, woman. Dont speak, yes is all I want to hear. If you say anything other than that, people will die. I dont mean you", he said as the garganta broadcast opened revealing her friends. "I'm talking about those clostest to you", he then continued. "Dont ask any questions, dont tell me anything. You have no rights. The only thing you do have...is the rope holding the blade of the guillotine..safely suspending the blade above the necks of your friends. Make no mistakes woman, this is not a negotiation, its an order. For some reason Lord Aizen has decided he wants your power. He dispatched me here with orders to bring you back unharmed. I'll only say this one more time. Come with me....woman"
