[No more opening pleasantries; he may be an extra as fuck villain from a shounen manga but he's not fighting a protagonist here and doesn't need to give so much exposition. Maybe a blessing, but at the same time Ulquiorra is first and foremost Ulquiorra: he moves immediately to slip under his opponent's guard, using the sword's length and swing to compensate for his slightly shorter reach.

('Cause y'all are tall as fuq?? Why.)

It's time to see how the blade stands up to whatever defense Suzaku encountered earlier.]
