Commentary:
I thought this page would be a nightmare thanks to what Rikku was doing, but it wasn't too horrible I guess. Also I've been starting to draw actual roots in the trees lately, if you couldn't tell.
I'm sure you can justify plenty of reasons for why Rikku didn't lift those trees right away, but the basic reason is that the got heated up too much and got his priorities mixed up a bit.
