I admit, it's not so much that that bothers me as the total lack of a backstory., the anticlimax of Kurosaki returning to normal and Ulquiorra's death without some kind of final move, at least, despite the fact that Ulquiorra said he could recover from almost any wound... It's just. Ugh. Bad storytelling.

That said, I LIVE for bittersweet moments like that. I just wish the trip getting there had been better.

Also, I'm pretty sure this icon has never been more appropriate.
