I...think everyone might be reading into the blackness thing a bit too much. Pretty sure it's just meant to show that Giselle is one ditz of a derp.

As for Bazz-B's use of Burner Finger 1, I think I realized why he used it instead of his higher-level ones against Ichigo: 2 and 3 are both more area-of-effect attacks (an explosion and a bunch of lava, respectively), and those could hurt him if he used them at close range. Meanwhile, 1 is just a beam of fire. Weeeeee.

And in regard to its effectiveness against Hitsugaya, even though he could still move around and stuff, Hitsugaya was clearly breathing heavily and stuff. Can't blame him, since he likely had an internal organ or two pierced.
