Ichigo vs Ulquiorra
Unlike Grimmjow, Ulquiorra was selective about confronting Ichigo, engaging in battles only upon orders or when left with no alternative. As the Arrancar arc progressed, Ulquiorra identified Ichigo as a grave threat to Las Noches, prompting him to unveil the full scope of his terrifying power.
The initially conventional sword fight took a drastic turn as Ulquiorra released his winged true form, Murcielago. This transformation showcased a strength that overwhelmed Ichigo, and to escalate matters, Ulquiorra assumed a monstrous second form that drowned Ichigo in sheer despair. However, just when it seemed all hope was lost, Ichigo's strongest hollow form emerged. This transformation proved to be a game-changer, as Ichigo turned the tables, emerging victorious in the face of Ulquiorra's formidable power and securing a pivotal moment in the Arrancar arc.
