VERSUS!!! Episode Two:
Zaraki Kenpachi vs. Kurosaki Ichigo
ready……..???
FIGHT!!!!!
ROUND ONE: SIDEKICK/S
ZARAKI----What is pink, loves sweets, and can kick your butt? NO, it CERTAINLY is NOT Zaraki. 'It's actually his sidekick, Kusajishi Yachiru. Many dubbed them to be the perfect team-mainly because Zaraki here provides the muscles and the …uhm… terror 'ambience', while Yachiru provides the cuteness and the distraction. In terms of usefulness, Yachiru…provides less than is to be expected. She rides around on Zaraki's back (--mode of transportation for most who are vertically challenged—hehe…I wonder if Hitsugaya-taichou wouldn't mind a ride…) and usually gives out..uh… 'unhelpful' tips concerning directions. Because of her less-than-capable sense of direction (which she shares with her captain) this duo would always, always manage to get lost…which is bad news for Zaraki, who is in serious need of some action. Hey, Yachiru is pretty powerful for a little fella…but she gets too distracted (or causes distraction) often.
..At least she's a cute…uhh… 'thing' to hang around with!!...or hang around you..(-sweatdrop-)
ICHIGO----Okay, this has GOT to be unfair. Ichigo does not only have one sidekick, but four!!! Fine, so maybe they're what you call 'friends' but I seriously think they're kinda like sidekicks in their own right. There's Rukia, the kick-ass shinigami (who would NOT want to be called a 'sidekick' but would fight alongside Ichigo anyway), Inoue, the pretty..uhh...healing/shield lady (..though her reason for joining the group is somehow in the romantic aspect…--ulp! spoiler..??), Chad, the strong silent guy, and Ishida (same applications with Rukia). They're kinda like the Fantastic Four, only they're…like…5 people. They watch out for each other and help when a part of the group is in trouble.
Aaawww….that was touching… (did I forget something…?...or maybe someone…?)
Oh yes! …and then there's Kon (no explanation necessary). (--hehehe--)
WINNER:::: round one goes to Ichigo for his unfair advantages!!! –I mean- friends!!!!
ROUND TWO: HAIRSTYLE
ZARAKI----One of Zaraki's most noticeable attributes (aside from his freakishly huuuuge form) is his hair. He gives a whole new meaning to 'spiky hairstyle'. I mean, seriously, you see spikes, like, sprouting from his head, dude!!!! SPIKES!!!! 11 spikes (trust me, I counted…I think…) crown his head (wow. that's a pun…and I didn't even intend it!!), each spike topped with a bell. The history (and use) of these bells have been explained in the series. For those who have skipped the story, those bells are supposed to warn his enemy of his attack/approach. He does this to give his opponent a 'fair advantage' in battle, and to make the battle more exciting!!! (insert happy Zaraki battle cry here). And, unlike Kuchiki-taichou's kenseikan mystery, we actually know how Zaraki puts those things up on his hair. Thanks to a Bleach Shinigami Cup, we found out that the 11th squad captain painstakingly puts them on the tips of his hair spikes one by one.
…kinda like topping a Christmas tree…
… or 11 Christmas trees…
…with a teeny-tiny bell…
ICHIGO----The most prominent of Ichigo's characteristics (especially in normal human form and without that freakin' big sword on his back…) is his hair. He has actually been one of the theory-explanations posted by most people who have watched Bleach and had asked why the hell is the show named Bleach. Some said it was because the main character's hair looked bleached. Har, har---exactly what Ichigo would say if he actually heard that idea---.
In the multicolored hairstyle world of Bleach, I guess, orange hair is pretty much like every other kind of hair.
Though, the paradox here, is that 'Ichigo' translates to 'strawberry'. Strawberry is…uh…red.
So WHY THE HELL is his hair ORANGE??????
(---continues to drive self crazy by thinking such senseless thoughts…---)
WINNER:::: the second round goes to Zaraki, coz, really, you can't go wrong with THAT kind of hair… And plus points for the festive holiday cheer (or doom) it brings:P
ROUND THREE: SANITY
ZARAKI----Okay, here's the deal—the words 'Zaraki' and 'sanity' do NOT mix together and create perfect harmony!!!! If there is one thing you should know and remember about Zaraki Kenpachi is that he is NEVER SANE. Period.
(---wow, that was a short explanation---)
ICHIGO----Yes, I am happy to announce that Kurosaki Ichigo is somewhat sane…except when he goes all hollow-ish, and then Hichigo appears, and then they fight over Ichigo's head/mental stage, etc…. BUT-bottom line is- Ichigo is, passably, a sane person. He even takes it a step further and vows to protect his friends and his family. …Doesn't get any saner than that.
WINNER:::: round three goes to Ichigo for his (semi) sanity!!! I mean, come on, if a guy wasn't sane, what would be the point of letting him win a trophy, or even this contest?? (---too scared and concerned as to WHAT Zaraki would want if he won…---)
…and after three..uhm…'tedious' rounds, we finally have an over-all winner!!! (this announcement is starting to sound like a boxing match…oh well…:P)
With the score 2-1 (whew!), this fight (or rematch…when you think about it…) goes to KUROSAKI ICHIGO!!!!!!!!
00000000----------------------------------------------------------------------00000000
CHIBI SHINIGAMI CUP………..GOLDEN!!!!!!!
Ichigo: heh… Guess I won…again!!
Zaraki: I don't really care winning such a wimpy competition…
(Me: W-wimpy??!!!)
Ichigo: ….hey…you…lost the sanity round????
Zaraki: (taking out his zanpakutou) So, Ichigo…whaddya say we have ourselves another match???
Ichigo: (twitch) Not in THIS lifetime!!!! (runs away)
Zaraki: (…) Fine. I'll be waitin' here for when you come over then.
Ichigo: (…………………………wondering when his 'second lifetime' would come……and how to avoid it)
