At the same time, though, the blow he dealt to Kurosaki then was fatal. What he just did to Ishida? Brutal. But non-fatal. I think it returns to the fact there that, to him, Ishida is trash, too weak for him to need to kill.
Well, it depends. There are the proponents of the theory that Ulquiorra's going to pull a Byakuya... but we have to keep in mind that Rukia didn't do ANYTHING to affect that fight, and wasn't really able to come into her own again until the next arc. Admittedly, Hime's development is very different in this arc, and is leading her to become stronger... But, honestly, I'm more ready to believe that if she finally DOES stand up for herself and enter the fray, it will be for one of two things: to face Ulquiorra herself and fight against him, or to force down Shirosaki without fighting him.
I meant that they'd probably end up in the Karakura battle, sorry if that wasn't clear. That said, those stuck in Hueco Mundo and those in Karakura will both have to regroup at some point, and right now it's looking like it's overwhelmingly in the good guys' favor OVERALL. Which is kinda weird.
Define soon. Remember, we first saw the Espada, what... 200 chapters ago? Three still haven't released. And we know all of... what, ONE shikai of the Vizards? He's got at least another hundred chapters to go, love, ESPECIALLY if you consider the "negative number" chapters and the fact that they indicate he's going to fill out even MORE background info with more of them later on.
That's true, re: seeing the Espada 200 chapters ago. Gah. Time moves sooo~ slowly in Bleachland.
The whole Ulquiorra/Byakuya comparison still stands, I feel, even if Orihime is involved. It might be exactly because of Orihime -- or some danger he perceives to her -- that makes Ulquiorra switch sides. *shrug* It's just a theory, at this point. Who knows what Kubo has up his sleeve.
I see a third way that Orihime could stand up for herself AND end the fighting...and that is to embrace her powers, not destructively, but in a shielding way -- maybe even rejecting something. (Or someone.) I still don't know if she'll fight Ulquiorra hand-to-hand, and I have a hard time seeing her face down Shirosaki...she's terrified of that guy. I think she's actually less afraid of Ulquiorra's released form, than she is of Ichigo's Hollow.
♥ I don't really want it to be over, truthfully, but it's just so suspenseful right now that I can't wait to find out what happens next! It's nervewracking...

It's not over, love. Not by long shot.
