Well I didn't think Ulquiorra had a heart. But I guess orihime entrusted him with hers. So he gets it now right at the end how sad. I wanted him to stay longer in the series.

Ulquiorra will be sorely missed. What a great character. Definitely a fitting end to him though. This fight gives some credence to the Ichigo being a VL debate, although logically it can't be the case, Ulq and Ichigo are the two closest hollows we've seen to VL level.
