Gosh, this was amazing!!Ichigo transforms into a full Hollow, (which I assume is his 'inner Hollow', but yet he just turned into a hollow and not the one that's insane and looks like him with white hair). This gives him the extreme advantage over Ulquiorra, and basically kills him then, but also stabs Uryû in the gut because it really wasn't Ichigo, it was his unconscious Hollow state.While Ichigo is distracted, Ulquiorra gives his last blow, which pulls Ichigo out of his Hollow transformation. He refuses to finish Ulquiorra off, because his sense of justice and equality overcame him, but Ulquiorra was basically already finished off from before. When you think of it, the Espadas wouldn't wait a second to take advantage and kill you unless you're like the Espada Spark, but yet Ichigo still has a sense of fairness, (when he's conscious...)We jump to the rest of the gang, who meet face to face with Yammy, the 0/10th Espada. I'm actually really surprised that Yammy is the 0 Espada, (if that even makes sense grammatically) because he was the one who was beaten up really bad from before. Maybe he didn't have enough power then...? I didn't exactly understand the whole "storing energy" thing Yammy was talking about.Just before that gets started, we jump over to the World of the Living, (which actually made me pretty angry) where everyone is struggling, especially Soi Fon and her Assistant Captain Omaeda against Barragan, whom I'm still not sure what rank he can be considered as. He controls the power of senescence, and can easily make someone's bone's age, technically destroying the person. Then Soi Fon thinks she has a plan, and wants Omaeda to become a decoy for her.Captain Hitsugaya is started to make things come to his side, and the other Soul Reapers we don't really see.Okay, did I ever mention that I hate this series?I hate it, because I love it so much. As weird as it sounds, I can never sleep at night because of this series, since my mind is always on edge and there are never any breaks from the awesomeness. Good for Tite Kubo; bad for my sleeping schedule.And it's like whenever I don't have the next volume and I have to wait a couple of days before I can keep reading, THAT'S THE WORST. I can't keep my mind off of it, and I'm always worried for the characters as if the action will continue without me while I wait.This volume seriously did not help that.*Slow clapping* Great job Tite, great job. Bleach was definitely very interesting to read and different to what I usually read. I enjoyed the whole soul reaper concept and how we find out more and more about the main character as the story goes on.It's a fast read and is easy to understand but gets progressively more difficult to follow parts of the story due to there being so many different characters that can be qualified as important in the progression of the story.I would recommend it for the story line and the graphics but I do feel like there are a certain amount of plot holes or at least not detailed out enough parts. I give the series 3 stars, the beginning possibly deserving 4 stars and slowly falling to 3 stars.
What do You think about Bleach, Vol. 41: Heart (2009)?
I don't like Ichigo's new hollow form :( and Ulquiorra just ended that way??
