Ah... Tybalt was your first dolly, wasn't he? I bet he's happy that he's getting some attention again, LOL. Have you decided on what his new "look" will be yet? XD
Hmm... well, if the manga-ka came up with that kind of angle in regards to MC4, that DOES sound like it has decent potential - I mean, if the poor guy is being shuffled around that much in the author's concept of him, then yeah, most likely he doesn't want to get too attached to anyone he meets, as it'd just make things more painful for him. :( (I've never really had to move around much, as I've only lived in two different apartments within the same general area of the city I'm from, but I DID have to transfer once from elementary school, and I remember how anxious that made me, so I can sort of understand?)
Aaaaaaaaaaargh, don't remind me of how slow I'm playing! *WANTS TO MEET KANJI ALREADY, GODAMMIT* >O
Heh... well... yeah, admittedly, the whole Samurai-inspired Afterlife arc wasn't very stellar save for a few points here and there. I think its biggest offense was that the whole mission just DRAGGED ON AND ON - I think the fact that there was such a large cast being introduced was mostly to blame for that. In fact, I think that's the series' biggest offense in general - there's way more characters than the author apparently knows what to do with, so barely anyone gets proper attention. And if by "Jump Syndrome" you mean "degenerates into battle after battle to keep the reader going," then that, too.
That's what made me put down the Naruto manga and switch to the TV series as well, actually - I mean, I already get cable at home, so why invest an extra $8 on each manga volume when I can get those two (apparently mostly unharmed) series adaptations on Saturdays for "free" and spend the extra cash on something I'm much more interested in? *shrugs* Eh...
