(Part two here)
But first...
...they must do...
...the Luck-Luck Dance...
...a ritual that didn't bring Ikkaku any visible luck in his fight with Ichigo.
Ichigo and Gegetsuburi are completely unimpressed by the display, however.
And Ikkaku is annoyed that Ichigo managed to forget all about his previous use of the Dance.
Houzukimaru dwarfs Ikkaku.
Has Ikkaku forgotten who he's meant to be fighting?
Gegetsuburi hasn't though...
...nor does he fight fair!
Ikkaku's finally ready to fight!
Ikkaku attacks in his usual style, fast paced blows with both sword and sheath, cutting Houzukimaru several times. He's moving too fast for my reflexes to catch anything more than blurs when pausing though. Damn him.
This technique from Houzukimaru looks familiar though...
Ikkaku's fast and he dodges every single attack though. I wish my reflexes were good enough to get caps of this fight, but I keep getting them blurred.
Uh... Oh...
Definitely bad...
Ikkaku's screwed now...
Gegetsuburi still isn't playing fair!
And Ichigo loses his patience with him.
Yeah... really loses his patience.
Another job well done!
Ikkaku, on the other hand...
...isn't doing so well...
...but isn't out for the count yet.
It isn't to be though...
...as this fight hasn't gone unnoticed.
Houzukimaru has no intention of getting caught though.
So he escapes.
Gegetsuburi wasn't so lucky.
Houzukimaru's exit wasn't completely clean though...
...and his pursuer is pretty determined.
He may yet escape though...
...with his help.
I don't want this to be true! Damnit, why would a character who is so law-abiding do something like THAT! Damn, damn, damn...

Eh, at first I interpreted that scene as showing that Senbonzakura is as an aloof a bastard as his master. Recent discussions with a friend have made me think that not just Senbonzakura, but also Katen Kyoukotsu, Sougyo no Kotowari and Minazuki are playing Muramasa's little game only as far as they wish to, perhaps with Byakuya's knowledge and assistance in Senbonzakura's case.
