Every once in awhile, even though I'm not too active on the site anymore (mostly on the main forums, but I look around the Gamefaqs forums a lot), I like to improve my profile with little slices of pure awesome. I get a new avatar here, a new signature there, and now, I just so happened to make another stroke of badass with my new banner. With a quick excursion into photoshop and some parts pulled from the double-page image in the new Bleach manga chapter, I have produced another crazy profile enhancement.

(SPOILERS AHEAD!)

The image I took was from the newest Bleach chapter titled "The Pride." In this chapter, Ichigo unleashes his power by dawning his hollow mask and then proceeds to show Ulquiorra who's boss by showing off how much more powerful he has become by blocking his Cero with one hand on his sword and even cracking Ulquiorra's sword. However, with the big climax, Ulquiorra rushes out of the dome of Las Noches and proclaims that he will now begin to kick Ichigo's ass by releasing his sword. So, the big cliffhanger is that we won't know who does the ass-kicking until the next chapter. I for one hope that Ichigo finally dawns that one mask seen in the Art page in the chapter "The Scar Mask". My theory is that Ulquiorra will beat Ichigo to a bloody pulp before Ichigo's hollow takes over him and shows him who's the real "King" by matching Ulquiorra or even being stronger than him. It would be great if Ichigo didn't interfere in the battle either and the whole battle is between Ulquiorra and Hollow Ichigo!

So anyway, my new banner is boss and you can all gawk at it for 5 minutes before I start charging.
