I guess I hadn't noticed that James already bit the bullet. Well that saves Renji the trouble of having to deal with some awkward post-battle cleanup.

@Xilinoc, it was still far from an even fight, though. Despite the fact that the combatants were going back-and-forth for a while, when Renji whipped out his new Bankai, he exerted absolutely zero effort in annihilating Mask instantly. I find it a little frustrating that a lot of battles make it feel as though the winner wasn't even trying by the end, this fight being no exception.

By the way I love you forever for your JonTron material and seeing them made my day.
