I was reading the Bleach issue 344 and was totally impressed at how Tite Kubo drew Ichigo releasing his hollow mask in this issue. I liked this one more than the other release pictures for a reason which i really didnt get until now. I really felt that Kubo was just creating an image that would set up the layout and entire sequence for the rest of the fight.......making it so much more epic and dramatic, and it was kinda scary actually how the maks was just opened at the mouth, when there aren't any real pictures of it doing that before, which just made me go like " Whoa....! darmatic!" lol
