And so the fight continues... I mentioned before (probably several times *cough*) about how I prefer Grimmjow's unreleased state in all his broad-shouldered, lean, and muscular glory, but I have to say...I found Grimmjow particularly pretty in one of the panels. His form's still too slender, but his face...well, it's became kind of pretty, don't you think? *gg*
I'm kind of interested in how Ichigo's managed to last so long with his mask. Didn't his mask keep on breaking during the fight with Ulquiorra? In that case, why isn't it breaking now? Perhaps Ichigo somehow allied himself with his Hollow self instead of uh, riding the other like a horse. Hee. I will continue to love that bit no matter how many other favourite bits I come across.
As always, I keep waiting for Ulquiorra to break out and go deadly pissed off in that calm, expressionless way of his. Because he is sexy like that. XD
What an interesting fight. I liked Deidara's own issues and hostilities with Itachi, which has a lot of bearing on his fight with Sasuke because now we know Deidara can resist against the effect's of the Sharingan. So far, the only counter-attack against the Sharingan was to avoid rather than to actively resist/fight against it. Gai does this by training himself to predict movements of his opponent's feet or lower body; Zabuza did this by using a heavy fog, thereby ensuring that Kakashi had difficulty in finding Zabuza and using his Sharigan on him.
Very interesting, indeed.
On a more shallow note: Sasuke's bare chest! :D
In other news: there's only one more week left. XD And I still have so much to do. Time really is running out for me... *sigh*
