Bleach Chapter 316

So we're finally get back on road with the "present times". Sure, that whole 'turn back the pendelum' thing was interesting, but let's face it, all the Bleach fangirls want to see at this point is some more of sexy Ulquiorra in action. :)

So this chapter starts with some random girl getting chased by some random hollow. Something catches their attention in the sky, and so when they look up they see the Gotei 13 facing Aizen's army. The captains do some thinking out loud as they try to decide which Espada looks strongest, and then Old Man Yama goes all psycho on their not so sorry asses.

Of course, the Espada stand there looking indifferent as always. Gin asks Aizen how they're going to be able to join the battle now that Yama trapped them... somewhere. I wasn't really sure what was going on, but I think it was some sort of barrier? Anyway, Aizen replied saying something along the lines of, "We are awesome and our balls won't need to be bothered with this because we will totally pwn."

Now, if you remember, Ulquiorra was left in charge of Hueco Mundo while Aizen was gone. Yeah, I know, the thirteen long weeks of flashbacks caused some memory loss, but we'll get through it. Anywho, the scene cut to Ulquiorra and Orihime in Hueco Mundo. Ulquiorra pretty much tells her that she's useless now and he's going to kill her, and asks her if she's scared. She gives some sappy crap about how since "everyone came to save me, my heart is with them."

And then the chapter ends, and we're left with some bullshit message about how there's no chapter next week. Boo. :(
