A the newest chapter says goodbye to the most awesome Bleach character and in a way puts a stop to the UlquiHime fandom(in terms of future moments) I wanted to create this thread as a "Remember UlquiHime" and give our thoughts about what this pairing meant and if Kubo gave a good conclusion to their relationship.
Though I feel sour about Ulqui's death and I want to read the chapter for some final thoughts the last moment between them can't be explained in words....it was simply beautiful and heart-wrenching and for me it made me love them even more.I liked the fact that before Ulqui's disappearance his final words went to Hime and his "Is that so...." places this pairing forever in the world of "maybe" and "what if".
Hime reaching his hand to him as salvation and redemption is very symbolic as well as his inability to reach it. As someone in a forum said: Ulquiorra's death perfectly mirrored his life: Always reaching, but never able to grasp, which got me thinking of that sketch of Ulqui's hand in the mirror:Everything divides us.This has always applied to Ulquiorra and Orihime.
course I feel a lot of anger towards something called massive plotkai on Ichigo's coming to his senses and not remembering anything and Ulqui's:"Oh no I used all of my power....*turns to ash*" but I don't wanna ruin the moment....
on the other hand the good part is the hand reaching moment I think just made UlquiHime canon in shonen terms though the page is the shoujo-est ever possible! *love*
Orihme's poem also gets me thinking about Ulqui and maybe everything was actually connected:
We
As one:are not intertwined
As two:do not share the same form
Of the third:we simply don't have eyes
Of the fourth:we have no hope in that direction
At the fifth:therein lies the heart
