Nuriko (Ep. 33) 

I desperately wanted a cel from this important sequence, so I'm very happy to add this shot to my gallery. Thanks so much to the previous owner for selling it to me :3 I literally bawled when I watched this episode T_T.

*Big Spoilers*






Ashitare has just impaled Nuriko with his claws and the music starts to play (love that first beat!) A long pan shot ensues showing the damage and Nuriko's pained face. Then it jumps to a close-up where this cel can be seen. The reason I love this cel so much is that it's the point where Nuriko switches from a look of shock and pain to a look of sheer determination :) He may be knocking at death's door, but he can still kick some a** ^_^

There are many cel mates from this scene, but the only one I found from this particular sequence can be found on kizu's site here. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who cried like a baby XD
