“

There is no meaning in our world, neither is there any meaning in us, the ones who live in it. It is then meaningless for us, who are equally meaningless, to conceive the world in our thoughts despite knowing there is no meaning to be found.

“

I envy because of the heart I glutton because of the heart I covet because of the heart I am prideful because of the heart I sloth because of the heart I rage because of the heart Because of the heart I lust for everything about you.

“	You are a fool, Ichigo Kurosaki. To challenge an opponent whose strength is worlds beyond yours, yet you dream of a victory. It is beyond my comprehension. If this is due to what you humans call a 'heart' then it is because of that 'heart' that you suffer injuries. And it is because of that 'heart' that you will lose your life.	„
	~ Ulquiorra to Ichigo

Resistance to:

• Extrasensory Perception (Using Sonído allows the user to bypass Extrasensory Perception)

• High Temperatures (Completely tanked the heat created by Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho)

Attack Potency: Continent level+ (As an Espada, Ulquiorra would be stronger than the Privaron Espada, such as Dordoni, since Nnoitora claims the current Espada are stronger than the previous, which is supported by the databooks which claim the Espada are above all other Arrancar, and the power of the Espada make the Fracción's pale in comparison; additionally, the Espada are ranked according to their power, making Ulquiorra stronger than Nnoitora. Only three people in the World of the Living can combat Ulquiorra, which likely included Kisuke and Yoruichi, Ulquiorra is also capable of gaining the upper hand against both Kisuke and Yoruichi while they protect Orihime, prior to Ichigo's final fight with Grimmjow, Ulquiorra completely overwhelms a Hollowfied Bankai Ichigo. Ulquiorra can casually press and cut through a Black Getsuga from post-final Grimmjow fight Bankai Ichigo, upon getting angry, he easily overwhelms this Ichigo, and Ichigo needs to enhance his Hollowfied strikes with a Black Getsuga in order to press Ulquiorra ), Multi-Continent level with Gran Rey Cero (Gran Rey Cero is the most powerful enhanced version of the Cero, making it a greater amplification than Cero Oscuras which is 10x, it was calculated to be this strong but scales higher via powerscaling ), Multi-Continent level with Resurrección (His Resurrección is noteable for its offensive ability, he is stronger than Resurrección Nnoitora, can cut off a Hollowfied Bankai Ichigo's head and utterly overpowers Ichigo ), higher with Cero Oscuras (All Espada can use this technique in their release forms which amplifies their normal Cero by 10x, and Ulquiorra completely shattered Ichigo's Hollow Mask, which Uryu sensed occur ), far higher with Gran Rey Cero (It is the ultimate Cero, it was calculated to be this strong but scales higher via powerscaling), at least Multi-Continent level with Segunda Etapa (Ulquiorra effortlessly overpowers Uryu and Orihime, Uryu describes Ulquiorra's Segunda Etapa as unlike anything he's ever encountered, which would include Ulquiorra's Resurrección Cero Oscuras, and this is consistent as now Ulquiorra can shatter Ichigo's Hollow Mask with mere physical strikes, eventually killing Ichigo ), higher with Cero Oscuras (Cero Oscuras is a 10x increase to regular Ceros ), far higher with his strongest attacks (Gran Rey Cero is the ultimate Cero, and Ulqiorra's Lanza del Relampago is his hardest attack to control, forcing a Full Hollow Ichigo to sharpen his claws to crush it, and even cut through that Ichigo's horn while he was off guard, it was calculated to be this strong but it scales higher via powerscaling)

Speed: At least Massively Hypersonic (Faster than a Post-Visored Training Bankai Hollow Mask Ichigo, blocked an attack from him), Massively Hypersonic+ (Far faster than a Bankai Hollow Mask Ichigo), At least Massively Hypersonic+ (Faster than before)

Lifting Strength: Class M (Far stronger than Abirama), Class M (Stronger than before), At least Class M (Far stronger than before)

Striking Strength: Continent level+ (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he physically overwhelms Ichigo), Multi-Continent level with Resurrección (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he is capable of physically decapitating Hollowfied Bankai Ichigo), higher with Segunda Etapa (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he physically dominates Ichigo)

Durability: Continent level+ (With his bare hands, Ulquiorra blocked a Cero from Grimmjow, he's barely nicked by post-final Grimmjow fight Bankai Ichigo, casually blocks the a strike from that Ichigo, and is able to briefly withstand a Black Getsuga enhanced strike from a Hollowfied Bankai Ichigo ), Multi-Continent level with Resurrección (No-sells an attack from Hollowfied Ichigo's Black Getsuga, upscaling his durability, and Unmasked implies Ichigo cannot damage Ulquiorra ), higher with Segunda Etapa (Comparable to his Attack Potency, as he can withstand the force of his own physical strikes )

Stamina: Superhuman (Lesser characters can fight for days, and Ulquiorra can continue fighting even through severe injuries.)

Range: Extended Melee Range, Hundreds of Meters to Kilometers with his abilities

Standard Equipment: His Zanpakutō, Murciélago

• Caja Negación (反膜の匪カハ・ネガシオン, Kaha Negashion): A device provided to the Espada by Sosuke Aizen, the Caja Negación can be used to isolate a target, trapping them in in a separate dimension from which they cannot escape, but it cannot hold those of Espada-level strength for long.

Intelligence: At least Above Average. Ulquiorra is an incredibly skilled swordsman and hand-to-hand combatant, striking with lethal precision in combat. He is very perceptive and capable of analyzing his opponents accurately and calmly even when in the midst of combat, quickly deducing an opponent's skills and abilities and figuring out their strengths and weaknesses, so that he can best exploit them. His intelligence and insight are such that Aizen respects him for them, and sent him to determine Ichigo's power and threat level.

Weaknesses: Ulquiorra has difficulty controlling Lanza del Relámpago's trajectory.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

Ulquiorra using a Cero Gran Rey Cero Ulquiorra using the Cero Oscuras Ulquiorra killing Shinigami with his Bala Ulquiorra using Descorrer Ulquiorra's regenerative abilities Ulquiorra using Solita Vista 1/7 Cero (虚閃セロ, Sero): A powerful blast of concentrated spiritual energy fired in a laser like fashion that only Hollows, Arrancars, and Visoreds can use. The power, force, speed, and blast area of the Cero is dependent on the strength, spiritual power, and sometimes skill of the user. Gran Rey Cero (王虚の閃光グラン・レイ・セロ, Guran Rei Sero): A much more powerful Cero only accessible to the Espada. By mixing their blood with a Cero, the Espada can discharge a blast that can distort space and is powerful enough to destroy Las Noches. Cero Oscuras (黒虚閃セロ・オスキュラス, Sero Osukyurasu): A powerful Cero that can only be used by the Espada in their Resurrección. This Cero is powerful enough to destroy Las Noches as well. Bala (虚弾バラ, Bara): An Arrancar ability similar to Cero, except it's weaker and 20 times faster. Descorrer (解空デスコレール, Desukoreru) A technique used by Arrancar to travel between Hueco Mundo and other worlds, creating a spiritual pathway called a Garganta with a gesture, walking through this portal to arrive at their destination in an instant. Ulquiorra can use multiple Garganta as screens to show other locations. Hierro (鋼皮イエロ, Iero): A defensive technique used by Arrancar that toughens their skin by reinforcing it with condensed Reiryoku, allowing an Arrancar to confront an armed Shinigami with their bare hands. All Arrancar use this ability in some form to gain their supernatural toughness, but even an exceptionally powerful Hierro can be bypassed by focusing one's Reiryoku to a finer, sharper point. High-Speed Regeneration (超ちょう速再生そくさいせい, Chōsoku Saisei): An ability possessed by most Hollows, which allows them to rapidly recover from wounds. Abandoned by most Hollow and Arrancar in favor of more power, Ulquiorra has retained his regenerative ability, which is enough to quickly heal lost limbs and his lost eyes, but it cannot regenerate his brain and other internal organs. Pesquisa (探査神経ペスキス, Pesukisu): A perception technique used by Arrancar, which sends out a pulse that detects nearby sources of Reiatsu and gauging their power. Ulquiorra is particularly skilled in the use of this technique, allowing him to instantly determine how powerful an opponent is with a single glance and comprehend the flow of their energy. Solita Vista (共眼界ソリタ・ヴィスタ, Sorita Visuta): Ulquiorra can replay events he has seen for others by removing and crushing his eye, which turns to dust and flows around those he wishes to share the vision with, relaying his sight and feelings. Sonído (響転ソニード, Sonīdo): A technique used by Arrancar that allows for high-speed movement, effectively analogous to the Shunpo used by Shinigami, and used in bursts to traverse distances quickly and fight at these high speeds. Ulquiorra's Reiatsu in his released state Ulquiorra using Luz de la Luna Ulquiorra using Latigo Ulquiorra using Lanza del Relámpago 1/4 Resurrección: Murciélago (帰刃レスレクシオン「黒翼大魔ムルシエラゴ」, Resurekushion・Murushierago) The Arrancar equivalent of a Shikai/Bankai, this form allows an Arrancar to unleash their true power as a Hollow. Ulquiorra's Resurrección is named Murciélago. It's release command is Enclose, and, when released, Ulquiorra grows a pair of large bat wings and his Hollow mask grows into a helmet with two horns, Ulquiorra can use these wings for flight. His physicals are greatly enhanced as well as the addition of new abilities Luz de la Luna (月光線ルス・デ・ラ・ルナ, Rusu de ra Runa) Ulquiorra can manifest javelins from his own energy, using them either as incredibly powerful projectiles or as a melee weapon in close quarters combat. Resurrección: Segunda Etapa (刀剣解放第二階層レスレクシオン・セグンダ・エターパ, Resurekushion Segunda Etapa): Uniquely among all the Espada, Ulquiorra has reached a second released state, which renders him even more powerful than before, shedding his robe to reveal his slender, pale torso while his arms and legs are covered in thick, black fur. He grows a long, whip-like tail, and his mask disappears, leaving him with a pair of large, bat-like ears. Lanza del Relámpago (雷霆の槍ランサ・デル・レランパーゴ, Ransa deru Reranpāgo): In his second released state, Ulquiorra can create an even more powerful javelin from his own energy, using it as both a projectile and melee weapon. When thrown, it causes an immense explosion capable of dwarfing Las Noches, and he can throw his javelins in quick succession, though he lacks accuracy and has difficulty controlling their trajectories. Latigo (鞭策ラティーゴ, Ratīgo) Ulquiorra can use his incredibly long tail as a whip, and can lift, throw, and strangle his opponents with it.
