Now you're just getting biased over personality traits as opposed to bloodline traits Oo
I might add that you're only mentioning what you see as Kinji's negative traits, although he has a reason to hate all women. You're entirely entitled to your own opinion of course, I wouldn't dream of trying to dissuade you : ) Also, Kinji knows about Lupin as opposed to not knowing about Riko's mother, and comparison always starts with a basis... |

Oh, well. At least he did well at the end. (I don't mean his fight. I mean his decision to fight.) Quote:

Well, I hold large amounts of bias for this series as well, given that I dedicate massive amounts of time and effort ino it.
That said, maybe I'm translating it badly, but I've always liked Kinji's character, except maybe in parts of Volume 2. As for his hate for girls...well, it would be incorrect to say he hates them, but he would rather not stay close to them. At least, in the beginning of the novels. But yes, I actually like the characters in HnA quite a lot, regardless of how most viewers say they are cliche. |

Even so, I thought he should have put in more of an effort to keep his promises, not lie, and not let misunderstandings fester. And not be so frickin dismissive of the Shirayuki's feelings. (But I may be partial, there. Then again, I hold that tsunderes deserve to have their feelings ignored or misunderstood.)

Well, I don't know what to say about Shirayuki. She's so dedicated to Kinji but he doesn't care. It seems like the trauma from being used by girls during middle school is stronger than the bond between he and his childhood friend.

In Shirayuki's case he doesn't attribute it to romantic feelings though. At least what I got from the second volume was that he thinks it's more because he was her only friend as a child and that he protected her and stuff. He is pretty dense when it comes to her.

I think I kinda understand why Anh_Minh hates Kinji. From what he said he reads volume 2 and starting volume 3.
Volume 2 Kinji is an Ass*HOLE MOR*N which doesn't even trust Aria and ignore the warning of a MASTER! Heck the master already ordered Durandal was after Shirayuki but he keeps think he doesn't exist. The moron needs to die. And he even fight with Aria. It really boils on my head. And Hikira you did a good translation which makes the emotion more lively it's not your fault it's kinji's!!!! But at least in the near end of the volume HE FINALLY DECIDES TO FIGHT! And even use the most hated ability of his family. In vol 1 his desperate but in vol 2 he chose it himself. Riko's story so far is the best though I haven't read fully Aria's story but Riko's story is so touching.

before even that. The masters already warning Shirayuki. Just from that point it should be clear. Those master wouldn't care if you die but in this matter. The masters actually care and do percussion and ask for bodyguard. What irritates me more is he didn't believe his PARTNER! and even left Shirayuki alone in the middle of the beach park. His a body for pits sake. But first and foremost to even think the enemy doesn't exist.......... man Kinji really irritates me on vol 2.

Remember the line that Aria said in v3c2? If the government learned the involvement of someone in EU, they will be treated the same as dead. So in short, Riko had managed to recruit some people via "abduction", which in turn the government made it looked like the people she abducted dead because they involved themselves in EU (branding Riko as "Butei Killer"). This also kept the government's reputation because they didn't want the public to know of Buteis joining a criminal organization. I also think that why the government made Kinji's brother as a scapegoat is because it is one way of countering the possibility of the traitor Butei going back to society. They kinda forced them into hiding since there will be no good life waiting for them if they go back and thus it kept the fact that they were still alive concealed. Kana didn't come back to society after EU arc and went into hiding somewhere with Patra. I believe Cao Cao said something similar to Kinji in v7 regarding this matter while they were trapped in the train.

well its safe to assume that Kinji mans up in V3 and is no longer the wimp wussy that he was in v2 (god i am disappoint in him there too)... and Riko has been struck by the smooth criminal...
the near-death Hysteria mode is like Call of Duty's Last Stand perk, only in the Tohyama case, they can still move and its like they are shot with adrenaline for moments. if there be a VN made... i'll expect the ff: aria x kinji - kinji fully commits himself to become Aria's partner and BF riko x kinji - her past comes back to haunt her and he becomes the new assistant and her BF shirayuki x kinji - go back to hotogi, get married, come back to school to finish studies, return again to have kids reki x kinji - uh.... he becomes her hubby (dunno anything moar than that)
