Shinigami Illustrated Picture Book
Ichigo Kurosaki arrives to continue his battle with Ulquiorra Cifer and Nel asks him what he's doing here. He states that he came because he hasn't had any air time and Ulquiorra tells him it's questionable if he's even the main character anymore. Ichigo tells him not to say that and he states that they should continue their fight. However, Nel yells at him stating that Ulquiorra's still drinking his tea and that because Ichigo's so selfish, it would explain why he's not the main character anymore. Ulquiorra then appears with Orihime Inoue and they tell him he's too slow and that they should continue their fight now.
