UlquiHime fanmix.
Because I thought there's not nearly enough UlquiHime musical love, and with the majesty that is chapter 341, I decided to make a fan soundtrack for my favorite Bleach OTP.
Notes: Minor spoilers for manga chapter 341. All songs by Massive Attack. Front cover coloring by koyuki_san.

Intro.
the sequence ends
and begins
02. future proof [lyrics]
Ulquiorra lives in a desolate place. There are several choice phrases in this song that make me think of hollows and what life must be like in Hueco Mundo:
reinforced glass
empty pocket
they think it is all…
they think it’s soul
separate the leper
hungry ghosts
another imprint in borrowed clothes
03. silent spring
Orihime. The lyrics to this one are a bit non-sensical, but only because of the addition of the letter “b” to a few words, kind of reminiscent of Pig Latin. (Sounds just like some kind of silly made-up language that Orihime would speak to her closest confidantes.) “a shrewd bow to obey” makes me think of her initial subservience to Ulquiorra after he’s led her to Las Noches.
Lyrics are short, so I’ll post them here:
Boy brought power
To b-obey
Hear me call
To b-obey
To b-obey
I seek him clothe
Come shush-hush
A shrewd bow to b-obey (we are but bound to b-obey)
I seek him clothe (we are but bound to b-obey)
Come shush-hush (we are but bound to b-obey)
A shrewd bow to b-obey (we are but bound to b-obey)
I seek him clothe (we are but bound to b-obey)
Come shush-hush
04. antistar [lyrics]
Ulquiorra. She confuses him, mystifies him, and most likely even infuriates him. Chapter 262, post-infamous-slap-that-was-heard-round-the-internet: “I will return in one hour. If you have not eaten by then, I will bind you and force you to eat. You can count on that.”
yeah, more sweet narcosis
you blind me with flash bulbs
and puzzle me with syllables
iconography fucks with me
you look great in bloodstains
05. teardrop [lyrics]
Orihime. This song seems as though it’s about love and its protective power, and the fortitude of someone able to convey it. And if anyone believes more in the healing and strengthening power of love, it’s Orihime. Her heart is what makes her strong, and it drives Ulquiorra like an obsessed madman to find the root of that strength and what makes her tick.
love, love is a verb
love is a doing word
feathers on my breath
teardrops on the fire of a confession
most faithful my love
06. butterfly caught [lyrics]
Ulquiorra. She’s like a butterfly underneath glass to him, and he is the curious, sometimes detached, sometimes recklessly determined keeper (running off to fight Ichigo after she slapped you, even though you just condemned Nnoitra for the same thing, hm, Number 4-san?). This song is great because it feels like it’s a freeform expression of his thoughts, centered on her, as though he’s a moth attracted to the brightest light in Hueco Mundo:
weightless cool honeysuckle
fair skin freckles
afraid to see
radiate
open lips keep smiling for me
07. dissolved girl [lyrics]
Orihime. We can see by chapter 278 in the manga that Ulquiorra is getting underneath her skin, as well. Is that concern for his well-being we can see in your eyes, after Grimmjow’s sealed him in a caja negacion, Hime? Interesting.
shame, such a shame
I think I kind of lost myself again
day, yesterday
really should be leaving but I stay
you’re not my savior but I still don’t go
say, say my name
I need a little love to ease the pain
08. bullet boy [lyrics]
Ulquiorra.
Ichigo to Ulqui, manga chapter 341: “I can read your moves much easier, now. Whether it’s because I’ve become more like a hollow…or you’ve become more human… I don’t know.”
The realization that you’re changing, maybe even because you might be falling in love with someone, when you’re the fourth most powerful Espada in Aizen’s army, can hit you like a bomb being dropped-leaving you freshly wounded and dazed amongst the fallout.
bruised from another place
takes grace
and the air’s still warm
from a bullet in the wrong place
09. black milk [lyrics]
Orihime. “All’s there to love; only love” -Orihime is only capable of love, not hate, and that is why this winter war is hurting her.
you’re not my eater
I’m not your food
eat me
in the space
within my heart
10. unfinished sympathy [lyrics]
Epilogue. Lyrics speak to both of them:
like a soul without a mind
in a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
Download the .zip of all of these songs. And enjoy! ~♥
