Description Well, with this week's chapter, I am feeling much more optimistic that Ulquiorra hasn't reeeeally died. Or at least hasn't permanently. Everything felt so... finished, I guess, after chapter 353. All the business this chapter seemed to stir it up again.

Which I quite approve of, but Kubo better deliver. That's all I got to say.

Anyway, happier mood = happier picture. That's how I roll.

Mmm... I guess I should mention that Orihime is not nekkid since I just realized that looks a little suspicious. I was going for her not wearing the jackety thing. So. Yup.

yeah he can regenerate his limbs faster then any of the espada let alone the arancar if he dedicated more of his power to strenght and speed he'd be a match for Stark

Frotu In reply to DarkProxy [2009-05-21 04:50:35 +0000 UTC]

It's pretty spiff that he chose regeneration over greater power... he's so logical. Tis very awesome.

Guh, I don't really know how the espada are ranked. I mean, I know it's supposed to be by power, but it seems really messed up if that's the case. I think Kubo just wants to confuse us...

DarkProxy In reply to Frotu [2009-05-21 13:47:18 +0000 UTC]

well the more powerfull the espada tend to get a lower number however it is subject to change depending on their behavior and following orders Grimmjow #6 was demoted out because he disobeyed Aizen and attack the orld of the living before the others had put their plans I'll stop there. Ulquiorra Cifer is admired by Aizen for his obedince cool deminor and his intelect as well as the choice he made about his powers which gave him a green Cerounlike any other hollow or arancar

Stupid question: Is Bleach a comic (yeah yeah, manga, wtv - can it be purchased in book form?) or a tv show? And where would one start to learn about these beautiful people?

Frotu In reply to marymc [2009-04-29 01:59:09 +0000 UTC]

Sooorry! My bad! Haha uugh well, I really don't believe he's gone for good. I could really get into all my reasons and such, but I think I'll hold off on them for now... it gets lengthy. XD

Bleach is a comic AND a show... but I would read the manga over watching the anime, especially if you're interested in these characters. The anime cuts out a lot of the awesome Ulquihime scenes.

If you would like to learn about the wonderful ship of Ulquihime, I have a couple suggestions (ok, I have tons, but I'll try to limit myself XD).

Old ship manifesto: [link]
Updated manifesto (with all the recent goodness): [link]
In this one, if you look in the first post, there is a header called "Special Moments", and that will go over (in detail) every chapter they appear in. I would look at the scans, though... but this does help narrow things down : [link]

Those are the things I looked at when I was first introduced to the ship and trying to get an idea of what was going on (and if I would be interested). So hopefully that works as a starting point! Let me know if I can point you toward anything else (if the massive amount of stuff I've already written hasn't scared you off XD).

Hahaha! Thank you, that's awesome! Very informative.

And WOW, a lot of writing put into these! Thanks! All bookmarked and ready to be read.

I have one last question: How do you pronounce the names?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Frotu In reply to marymc [2009-05-05 01:46:02 +0000 UTC]

Haha oh yes -- one thing I have really enjoyed about the Ulquihime ship is that a lot of the people are very intelligent and enjoy writing well articulated essays. It's pretty high class. Anyway, I hope that stuff will be informative (and thoroughly suck you in ).

As far as the names, that's a bit tricky. >_> Technically, the Japanese language isn't really capable of the name "Ulquiorra" - they spell it like Urukiora (of course, r sounds like l... but anyway). It's like "Ul-key-o-ra" in my head. Orihime is easier... O-ree-hee-meh. It's too bad I'm not a linguist who can really write that stuff out correctly. *laughs*

marymc In reply to Frotu [2009-05-09 00:26:41 +0000 UTC]

I still haven't had time to read them thoroughly, but it's on my to-do list! Just had a very busy few weeks.

Linguist-shminguist! It's a relief to have a rough idea how to say them, because I used to just look at the words, and only lately realised I had no idea how to pronounce them out loud! So thank you!

Hey, I hear you on the "busy few weeks" -- finals are next week, so I know the feeling! Besides, I doubt that the sites are going to go anywhere. They can wait for you.

Well I'm glad I could help with how to say the names! Hehe, I remember when I first started reading the manga and I just looked at the names without really processing them. XD

Yay for optimism : D I was too when I saw the latest chap. but then people are just never satisfied but i am still hoping too~!

I really like the way they are laying down and opposite from one another. The way Ulqui looks like he's sleeping, I get the feeling that Orihime will pull him up and they will run off any second XD the softness of your coloring really adds to the mood

Beautiful work as usual ;D

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Frotu In reply to GiselleRocks [2009-04-20 02:17:36 +0000 UTC]

Haha I'm usually not optimistic, so feeling so now is really saying something. After 353, I thought that he had probably died... as much as I wanted to think otherwise, it didn't seem very likely. Now, however, Kubo's really opened up more questions than he has answered, and it would just be bad storytelling to not bring closure to those issues.

Yeah, I was kind of wanting to make a picture that split them that way so that maybe it would highlight the connection through their hands. ^^ Heh, I can imagine Orihime doing that, too, though.

Thank you for all the compliments -- I'm happy it turned out

Oh my gosh! I hadn't read it until I saw this! I thought... I didn't know...

I assumed his story was finished and almost deleted the link because... well... to be perfectly honest, I don't care that much about the rest of the plot.

THANK YOU! I'm so happy.

As much as I love unhappy endings, I love, even more, endings that appear sad at first but turn out happy. Also, I am very pleased that they are officially cannon.

P.S. the picture is beautiful work, as always.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Frotu In reply to Dracawyn [2009-04-19 17:13:58 +0000 UTC]

I had actually wondered a little about that and almost noted you about it. I'm glad that this picture was at least enough to prompt you to read the chapter because... well, it pretty much slayed me all over again, but this time in a good way. I agree that the bittersweet unhappy endings can be quite beautiful, but I'm enjoying the way this is going more. I mean, Ulquiorra said that humans die because of their hearts, so it really wouldn't make sense for Kubo to have Ulquiorra get a heart and then die. This is something Ulquiorra must be wrong about, so... yeah.

I'm pretty shocked they are cannon. I can't quite get my head around it... not even in my wildest dreams did I think we'd get something this blatantly shippy. It's amazing.

Anyway, I don't really care about the rest of the story either (...>_>, but I'll probably keep on top of it. If there are any more developments, I'll let you know. ^^

It's so pretty. Very soft and dream-like and peaceful. I like that they're just loosely hanging onto each other.
I'm SO hoping that we haven't seen the last of Ulquiorra. His character has become so interesting and I love seeing him and Orihime interact, regardless of the underlying emotions. They're so much more interesting than Orihime and Ichigo interacting.

Frotu In reply to PaleSymphany [2009-04-19 17:07:24 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I'm glad that it apparently has the atmosphere I was hoping to create.

I'm so hoping, too. There just seems to be too many loose ends with his character and so much more potential growth. I'm sure that hasn't escaped Kubo's attention, so hopefully he'll take advantage of it.

And I agree -- their interactions are pretty much the most interesting of any, I think, just because there are dynamics there that can't be achieved through any other pair.
