Disclaimer: As a whole these are kinda short. I was a little distracted putting my notes together but I'm sure that won't limit the discussion at all since everybody always brings together meaningful material.

We do see Hei use his hands a lot. It may be more out of habit (better accuracy?) because at the end we see him use his real power in full body mode. Also he did try to electrocute November through the ice and he didn't bend down to place his hand on it. That and it's cooler to grab someone by the hand and hold'em in a choke hold. :D

GOD I LOVE THESE TWO EPISODES!!
Does anyone else besides me wish the fights between November Eleven and Hei were longer? Perfect timing on Hei's entrance. If I didn't know him, I would have thought I saw a ghost. Love him standing in the middle of the street (with the train noise and light) saying, COME AND GET SOME! Havac simply answering, "The Black Reaper, to Misaki.
I loved Hei's entrance for the second fight too. The music was like, there's going to be a great fight. And it was, but too darn short. Hei coming back with the knife attack on November: Die! LOVE it all!

As far as April, that's why she was paired up with November. Useless, except to make the MI6 trio a happy family. Heehee. :)

I totally wasn't thinking about any of those things - after you pointed it out, it was just like "DUH!" lol

I think they avoided it because both of them are known to be highly skilled Contractors. To suggest that they're basically equal and then have one of them win a fight with put them in a risky situation. But even so, I'd love a lengthy, passionate fight between those two. It would be 10,000x more epic than Hei vs. Wei.

And the way that Havoc just knows he's arrived - and the darkness in her voice is just the right intro.

Yeah, these are definitely up there on my favorites list of episodes.

Yeah November vs. Hei was always some of the best fight scenes, second only to Wei. And ditto, the soundtrack is perfect for this series. Props to Yoko Kanno!
