| Naming Notes | The pronunciation is broken down as "ool-kee-oh-ra". I chose this name from the series "Bleach." The name Ulqiorra means "He who cries." In Spanish it is derived from the phrase "El que llora. The character has this name because he is emotionless with a calculated nature. The name Ulqiorra seemed like a good name for my phage and he is also my favorite character from the series. |
