Mmm, absolutely delicious.

I don't know if its got any new powers, but so far, Ichigo's bankai just seems to make him even stronger and faster. That's fine by me. Enough speed and power will overcome any number of wierd powers the others might give them. Wierd sword though. Manji for a hilt and a short chain that doesn't look like it goes anywhere. Love that black blade though.

Two points I do wanna make though:

Ichigo's new outfit is not the goodneed. I realize its to make him look like Zangetsu, but honestly, he was cooler looking wearing the flight mantle.

This fight is really, REALLY similar to Lee vs. Gaara. I mean, if you turn the petals into sand its pretty much exactly the same, a flowing wall vs. extreme speed.

Really good shit though. Looks like Hitsugaya is doing stuff again. About time. Still don't know where Ken's Vice captain is. I mean, she has to have got to the grounds by now if the rest of the group is already at the bottom of the steps. I guess they are gonna run into Renji/Rukia on the way up. I wonder which way they go then.

You can, but its pretty juvenile.
