Ulquiorra cipher questions
When Ulquiorra says that there are three espada above him, why do we assume he’s lying when it can very much be true. If he means in terms of strength it could just be that he didn’t regard yammy as stronger than he was because he hadn’t built up enough reiatsu to be stronger than ulq in his resurreccion form.
If he is referring to rank why do we just assume that ulq knew that yammy was espada 0? Because they were partners? Would you then assume yammy knew about segunda? And if not why do we assume that if a fraccion didn’t know the rankings of the espada, that the other espada did.
Why do we also need to assume that ulq was lying about three espada being above him but not assume he was lying that he hadn’t shown aizen about his second form? If the goal was to cause ichigo as much despair as possible then revealing that the insurmountable wall that he couldn’t already climbed actually had a hidden taller second layer would also cause just as much despair.
Wild card theory is that hallibel is such a bum that ulq wasn’t referring to her as one of the three espada above him and instead meant yammy, barragan and stark
