what is it with Bleach and people losing arms?! I can know think of three...no, four, no wait, five off the top of my head. It seems to be the magic appendage to just slice/hack/tear off now....>.>......
It makes people seem less powerful than Ichi who can get his heart ripped out and then spring back to life. Much easier to come back if your arm is detached. Matsumoto and Hinamori make me wonder, though... I suppose that they've got a former medic to help them deal with losing massive parts of their bodies =\
@ waffle - hahaha, I wish I had learned to the bassoon instead of the flute. The majority of people in most of the school bands I was in were play flute, clarinet, or trumpet. High school, though - I miss the massive band I was in, sometimes the feeling makes me want to join Davis' Band-Obut then I realized that I have classes that need attending. Then again, the Band-O is awesome; they do all sorts of fun things like dressing up for the annual drag queen/king competition and playing to entertain the crowd XD
Speaking of which: I was watching a show this morning where they were giving a Star Wars cosplayer a makeover and talking about how conventions where people dress up as characters are weird. I was sitting there thinking "Wow, she did a good job on that costume - Hey, there's a Bleach cosplayer! Oooooh nice green wig". I'm such a dork...
