Let's ******* goo

 

Absolute cinema indeed

Makes sense. So far UQ has been the best Espada for me

 

Segunda Etapa. It can translate to second stage or second coming from Spanish, depending on one character.

And, yes, targeting the heart is Ulquiorra's signature kill move, as Grimmjow explained earlier.

People always misunderstand when Ulquiorra says that even Aizen hasn't seen his Segunda. He only means that Ulquiorra himself had not a chance yet to personally show Aizen the form. Mistranslation of that line from both fans and Viz don't help the matter either.

Aizen knew. This is made abundantly clear when Aizen explains to Ichigo that he observed all of his battles in Las Noches, including (some-fukking-how) his final battle with Ulquiorra.

I believe Kubo has also confirmed that Aizen knew in his website's Q&As. Not that it was needed, given what I put in spoilers above.

Mayuri and Urahara have likened Resurreccion to Bankai, as has Kubo himself. So Segunda Etapa is something else entirely.

Also, these days it is highly doubted by knowledgeable Bleach folk that Ulquiorra is the most powerful Espada, what with it being revealed that:

Even Aizen was wary of Starrk's true power and potential. It is generally held now that Starrk is indeed the strongest, being ludicrously above everyone else, given that even motherfukking evil-from-his-mama's-womb Aizen was wary of his true power. What is truly insane is that Starrk became a natural Arrancar and achieved a Zanpakuto plus Resurreccion himself. Unlike with the other Espada, Starrk never received assistance from the Hogyoku.

Don't get me wrong. Ulquiorra is Segunda Etapa is definitely more powerful than Harribel and Baraggan (though he probably can't win against the latter due to his broken ability). But Starrk is a different beast entirely.

^ Note: I don't consider these major spoilers, since Kubo detailed this in his website's Q&As.

Yeah. Ulquiorra is my favourite Espada as well. And he embodies most what the Espada were actually meant to be for Aizen. He is probably the best Espada in terms of how seriously he takes the job that comes with the title.
