Remember that one time where Ichigo faced Ulquiorra for the first time and he told Ichigo that Rukia is dead? And how Ichigo was ready to go back and I quote "To save her"? Because I sure do, and the only thing Ulquiorra could come up with to prevent Ichigo from leaving was to tell him that Orihime isn't a traitor and he took her to HM? Because I sure do. This pretty much proves me this concerning Ichigo: Rukia>Orihime. He was literally ready to put saving Orihime aside to check on Rukia.
The best part is that we have also the Chad part to compare it to, how Ichigo reacts after he sensed Chad reiatsu go down
He can’t do anything but to grit his teeth and just keep going. Then we have him sensing Rukia’s reiatsu go down
Ulquiorra comes as soon as he realizes and tells him that Rukia is dead but even then Ichigo still does this
Steps away from a enemy because he wants to go and save Rukia (whose resque arc is this? lol) even if he was just told she is dead. Ulquiorra is not having it tho and brings up that he is the reason why Ino/ue is there and basically why all his friends are dying. Ichigo attacks him and just lets us know he doubted his friend. When he settles that he has to fight Ulquiorra he says this
“It seems that no matter what I do this guy won’t let me pass” Ichigo still doesn’t want to fight him but Ulquiorra is not giving him a chance so he has to and what does he do? An another un-Ichigo like thing
He is in a hurry (bc he wants so save Rukia) and goes for the first time all out Bankai and Hollow Mask at the same time. He wants to beat Ulquiorra fast, he is not interested in a fight with him he just needs him to let him pass
As soon as he launched his attack and he thinks he defeated Ulquiorra what does he say? “time to go” “I don’t have any more time to waste here” he is in a hurry bc he still wants to go to save Rukia.
We can even compare Ichigo and Ren/ji’s reactions when they know Rukia is dead, while Renjo starts the fight with Szayel saying “I didn’t come here to talk, I came here to beat you “ so he wants to fight, when later he hears that Rukia is dead, he attacks him and says “get out of my way” he is not interested in a fight anymore. Same with Ichigo he turns his back to a enemy, tries to completely ignore him and steps away, that’s crazy bc Ichigo has never backed down from a fight before, that makes you see how desparate he is to just go and reach Rukia. That doesn’t change even after he stays and fights bc he has no choice like he says, Ulquiorra won’t let him pass, meanwhile goes all out bc he has to end it qucikly, he still wants to go to Rukia. Where does Ino/ue stand in all of this? Well behind the stairs Ichigo’s destroyed LMAO
