(Sorry for the late post. I had a cold last week that was so bad, I couldnt even stand up straight. I feel better now, though.)
253. Dont Call Me Nino
Well, here it isthe end of the fight. I figured, along with most other people, that it wouldnt last that long, and it was indeed only half a volume long (as was the Ichigo-Ikkaku fight).
Presentation-wise, I noticed that Doldoonis release, Hiraruda, looked less awkward in this chapter than when we first saw iteven when it went all Medusa on us before Ichigo filleted him. I think its just reflective of how the general look of the series, particularly during the fights, is becoming smoother and more polished. But in the case of the chapter, that didnt really help, as it didnt add to the suspense very much.
Seeing Ichigo block Hiraruda one-handed, without the mask on, killed any chance that wed be surprised that Ichigo would own him in Hollow form. On top of that, the fact that Doldooni went after Nell purposely again to provoke Ichigo left a pretty bad taste in my mouththough it did give a better idea of why he was Privaron, since it seems like hed consider fighting his opponent at full power more important that carrying out the mission.
Lengthwise, it was handled pretty well, though I wouldnt have minded an extra page or two showing what at least ONE other person is doing right now. I guess thats because this fight wasnt that great to meit didnt add anything new to the table except Nells Gorge N Barf defense, as someone so aptly put it in one of the discussion threads. Im just glad that well be able to focus on something else.
Lets just hope it isnt a Las Noches version of Ganjyu vs. Yumichika next.
Rating - 3/5
Despite how good it looked, the fight seemed even more boring than last week, but its over and done with nowmeaning that well see something new next week for sure. If the fight hadnt ended in this chapter, Id definitely have rated it lower, though.
