  1. I can't help but agree with Anime-Bush Jr (fun way to time stamp these, too): Outside of the danger of being within 20 ft of Yujiro Hanma, I can think of no safer place to be than within 20 ft of Yujiro Hanma….

    I can only imagine, if someone wanted to fight me, I would be within hearing distance of him when the person came up like, "LET'S FIGHT!"

    I have this really funny mental image of Yujiro meeting a little stick looking man at a bar, and his hair standing on end as he reads more danger from this one individual than any man he's ever met, actually telling him that every instinct he has is saying to kill him on the spot.

    * never looking at him *
    "Maybe you should…..or maybe your instincts are slipping?"
    * sips whiskey *

    Later, Yujiro (mostly on a dare from Strydom) gets challenged to protect a target they know is going to get killed with any standard detail. Yujiro, having been posed with an interesting challenge, watches the person he's protecting get their head blown off right in front of them by a sniper.

    Even predicts the bullet coming before anyone hears the rifle report (you never hear the fire of the sniper bullet that kills you), and pushes the target out of the path of the bullet, just to be pushing them right into the path of the bullet!

    Yujiro runs to the point where the sniper was, finds a hastily scrawled message on the floor, a bullet casing and a combat knife, "Your instincts were right"
