Shen Wei doesn't know if they can win against Ye Zun, and obviously they try, but when they don't, he's ready. He's thought about this and prepared (and hoped it wouldn't be necessary), and in the end, he snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, and it's glorious.

YES! And by jumping in front of Ye Zun's energy bolt, he's both protecting ZYL and provoking YZ into eating him -- both desired outcomes at this stage. I love that he manages to combine those things!

and ... well, I'd have ended up at the energy bomb anyway, LOL.

Hee!

What definitely counts and is missing from the poll, though, is Zhao Yunlan giving himself to the Lantern! That would have been my second choice. *g*

Ohhh, how did I miss that? *facepalms forever*

And sure it's a big coincidence, but I honestly don't mind that at all.

I don't either, to be clear! I mean, it's fate. These two are so entangled, fate makes perfect sense! The poll question was just for fun. :-)
