Five things Superman has seen, for

rubynye

1) The sunrise for a little over 24 hours. It's just a matter of concentration and focus, keeping your speed steady. An exercise in self-control, he told Bruce. A vacation, he told his parents.

He probably should have stopped after 12.

2) Pluto, and in his opinion, it's lucky to even be called a dwarf planet.

3) Batman smile, which happens more often than most people might think. Sincerely, which happens more often, Clark suspects, than Bruce would like to think it does.

4) Almost every member of the JLA, past and present, naked, undercover as some kind of sex worker, and under the influence of sex pollen, alien pheromones, divine intervention or mating instinct. Fortunately, never all of thsoe conditions at the same time.

5) The future. It's better than you might think.

Five things Ichigo likes about his snazzy bankai for

bravecows

1) Zangetsu isn't a sword, not like the others'. Zangetsu is a working blade made large. Swords, Ichigo secretly suspects, are things samurai have, and in his 21st century, proletarian soul, Ichigo strongly suspects all samurai were arrogant bastards. It doesn't necessarily mean that everyone with a sword is an arrogant bastard that thinks he's better than everyone else, but he reckons it's probably a pretty good indicator.
Also, he likes to think that, in a world without shinigami and hollows and so on, he and Zangetsu could have opened a sushi shop or something.

2)Zangetsu smells right, like real metal and cloth. When the shinigami show theirs, even Rukia, they never smell quite right. Shirayuki smelt like cold, but more like the description of it than the real thing, Zabimaru smelt like the description of dry.

He's never asked the others if it's the same for them.

3) Zangetsu shows Ichigo his best, so Ichigo has something to aim at.

4) He's always there, on the edge of his mind. Ichigo doesn't talk to himself much, but he likes the weird sort of companionable silence that goes on in his head sometimes.

5) When the coat goes on him, it feels almost like it did when his mother would hug him, bending down to reach, and her hair would fall around like a blanket or a shield.
