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.

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