Ulquiorra gazed silently at Shisui. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "In that case, let me show you another form of mine! This is called Second-Stage Resurrección.
"To this day, no one has witnessed its full appearance-not even Lord Sōsuke Aizen or the other members of the Espada. Moreover, of all the Espada, I alone possess the ability to use Second-Stage Resurrección."

From his abdomen to his legs, as well as his arms and back, his body was covered in glossy black feathers, as though he had donned a pitch-black feathered robe.
His wings spread fully, like those of a gigantic black bat,
