Contestant reactions:
Inuyasha: Oh, ----! I'm stuck against this ------- again!
Sesshomaru: Quit your whining, little brother. You could have been up against Jakotsu again.
Inuyasha: Now that you mention it… (sweatdrops)
Jakotsu AH-CHOO! snif …HEY! Inuyasha! (music notes popping up everywhere)
Everyone else: ……… (edges away from Jakotsu)
Kurama: (to Sango) ummm… is this guy…?
Sango: Unfortunately. Hmmm, who am I up against? Ulquiorra? Who's that?
Ulquiorra: (glares at Sango) That would be me, onna.
Sango: I have a name: Sango. Use it, demon.
Ulquiorra: Demon? …… I am an arrancar, onna. One of the Espada, to be exact. Is "demon" supposed to be some sort of insult?
Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, Kurama, Hiei: (glare at Ulquiorra)
Grimmjow: (smirking) Heh, Ulquiorra, you've already made some enemies from this world.
Kenshin: (to Aoshi) Oro… who are all these people? This one is very confused.
Aoshi: I thought as much. It appears that they are all from different worlds, other than our own.
Kenshin: And who will this one fight? Ah, Miroku.
Miroku: Yes? That would be me, swordsman.
Kenshin: This one is pleased to meet you, Miroku-dono.
Miroku: … Same goes for me. (to Inuyasha) You could learn some manners from this gentleman.
Inuyasha: feh.
Sasuke: Who's this midget?
Hiei: (ticked off) I'm not a midget, I'm a demon! You're just lucky we aren't allowed to kill each other before hand, or you'd be a pile of bloody ashes on the floor.
Kagura: Hmmm… Itachi… does he have enough power to kill Naraku, so I can be free? He doesn't look like much… Still, in the case of Hakudoshi, appearances can be quite deceiving…
Itachi: …… (stares back at Kagura)
Naruto: … these guys are a whole lot stronger than me… Especially that weirdo in the corner over there.
Said weirdo (aka Naraku): Let's see, who do I fight? Ah, Itachi. Feh, worthless human.
Itachi: Let's see you call me worthless while your ashes are drifting away. Fireball Jutsu! (BIG fireball comes hurtling towards Naraku. A pale blur intercepts it, catching and extinguishing the fireball)
Ulquiorra: (looking calmly at the smoke drifting lazily away from his palm) You really must keep a lid on your temper, Itachi. We aren't supposed to kill each other before the tournament begins. Save that anger for in the ring.
Sasuke, Naruto, and Itachi: … who is this guy…? (All slightly [in varying degrees unnerved by Ulquiorra's ability)
Grimmjow: Does anyone know what the ---- we are supposed to do now?
Everyone (except the arrancars): um………
Ulquiorra: (to Grimmjow) pay better attention. Watch. (removes and crushes left eye, forming powder which shows everyone his memory of the instructions)
Everyone: Oo
Itachi: That was…Disturbing.
Sasuke: Tell me about it… (sweat drops)
