Bleach Manga Chapter 347 – The Lust
Ulquiorra’s Grand Black Cero hits Ichigo straight on, completely shattering his mask. The Epsada’s high reaiatsu is felt all the way inside Las Noches. Ishida and Orihime look worried and the girl asks the quincy if he would take her above the dome. Being a gentleman, Uryuu cannot ignore her plead, but still his inner thoughts reveal that his decision will be one to regret.
Meanwhile, after being blown away by the cero, Icigho starts falling. He is badly injured, his clothes completely trashed and the remainders of his hollow power-up vanishing. He is not, however, given a break – Ulquiorra appears in front of him in midair and kicks him into one of the towers. The Esapada notes that Ichigo’s powers are very similar to that of an arrancar, but a noraml human or a shinigami could never match the true power of a hollow.
Ichigo is stubborn, as usual, and tries performing another Getsuga Tenshou. The shinigami’s actions really piss off Ulquiorra, who for the first time since his appearance loses his self-control. He repeatedly slashes Ichigo with his weapon, causing so much damage, even the tower begins to crumble. Once the Espada calms down, he states that his power is greater than the shinigami’s, thus the latter should give up. But Ichigo has no intention of giving up and claims he will defeat Ulquiorra.
At this point Ulquiorra decides to show Ichigo what true fear is and transforms into his most powerful state – a sadistic looking devil-like creature.
