Is Ulquiorra a Vasto?
Ulquiorra is not considered a Vasto Lorde, as he does not meet the criteria of having a humanoid appearance and being more powerful than a captain, with only Barragan and Starrk classified as Vasto Lordes based on these factors. However, Ulquiorra is a Hollow who came from a deep pit and had no recollection of his true origin, and is one of the top 4 Espada, which are considered to be at a similar power level to Vasto Lordes.
