*smiles and steps out of the shadows* Allow me to share a little wisdom to you all. Someone like uliquiorra is not lacking in emotions entirely. He's more "numb". The emotions are there, but he either doesnt understand them, or is so overloaded that his brain shut them out. This happens alot with people who have had really crappy lives or really bad experienecs, and suffer severe enough depression. The depression can get bad enough that its like an overload, and their brain starts shutting it out, or "locking it away" rather than deal with it. In Uliquiorra's case, I think it was a combination. For some reason he was very depressed. But ontop of that, he also did not understand emotions very well. Perhaps because whatever understanding he had in some distant past got shattered by whatever bad experience he went through, or something. He never does explain that to well. The only thing he makes very clear, is his lack of understanding. He thinks he has a good idea of it, but he even makes it obvious he doesnt know for sure, or fully understand. Because of this, even though he tries not to show it at first, orihime intrigued him. She understood it too well, even though she wasnt very good at dealing with it, she understood it quite well, and he could tell. But he couldnt understand her. So he was intrigued by it. It is kind of sad how he didnt finally understand it untill it was too late and he was dieing.

Anyway, sorry for the really long ramble there. But there's a little bit of wisdom to think about.

As for negativity, I agree, Uliquiorra is a big player there. And so is byakuya, but you know, even byakuya doesnt take the top in that form of negativity. There are a lot worse. Look at grimmjow. Look at Soi Fon. (sorry guard :P but your character really does look down on ppl :P) Look at Noitora. And this is not even including side arcs or fillers. Or the one ova I know of. Movies, etc.

There is a LOT of negative characters in bleach. Most of the shinigami are pretty negative in some way. Same with the arrancar. All the hollows are to a point, though there isnt much character development in most of those.

For one, everyone in this show seems to be very fight-happy. I'll stop for now and let you all respond. :)
