I'm still pretty confident that Hitsugaya is going to win his fight in the end. Right now it doesn't seem the power gap between them is all that large. Yeah, the spoilers made it sound like it hit him, or that he was staring at the incoming attack in horror, or something like that. With us not seeing either of those situations, I'm thinking he'll deflect it again or at least get out of the way. And I bet if that happens he'll make some comment about Halibel underestimating him *laughs*.

On the other hand, the power gap between Soi Fon and Barragan is looking to be pretty freaking large at this point. T_T I'm definitely much more worried about her survival than I am about Hitsu's survival.

I can't wait for the next chapter either!! *bounces*
