User blog comment:Lemursrule/BLEACH 324 Review: Double Trouble/@comment-452405-20110601061707

I've got some mixed feelings on the Kenpachi vs. Kenpachi fight too, I mean for one I really love how they showcased his relationship with Yachiru (I never expected to hear 'Soundscape to Ardor' play for a Kenpachi moment!) and the fast movements followed immediately by a slow-motion take was excellent, but on the other hand the fanboy in me felt let down by the real lack of a fight.

True, the overall length of the fight was decent enough and if it had been longer things would get out of hand, but Kenpachi fights are always quite brutal with great injuries and destruction in general. Despite them both taking off their eye patches at the beginning, neither really suffered very bloody injuries and the landscape was relatively unscathed. Plus we only saw one moment of Kenpachi being unable to cut his Reigei counterpart, an incident that was quickly forgotten. I was also fully expecting it to end with his Reigei self destructing from reiatsu overload, and at the moments when his eyes were full blue and shooting lighting that expectation was only strengthened.

I'm quite confident I could do a full review of this fight in the end, mentioning things like the use of mainly close-up shots complimenting the supposed brutish nature of the fight and comparisons to previous Kenpachi battles, but I don't think that'd be appropriate of me so I'll leave it be.
