This is MY favorite law:

#16 Laws of Inverse Accuracy

The accuracy of a "Good Guy" when operating any form of firearm increases as the difficulty of the shot increases. The accuracy of the "Bad Guys" when operating firearms decreases when the difficulty of the shot decreases (Also known as the Stormtrooper Effect). Example: A "Good Guy" in a drunken stupor being held upside down from a moving vehicle will always hit, and several battalions of "Bad Guys" firing on a "Good Guy" standing alone in the middle of an open field will always miss.

First Corollary: The more "Bad Guys" there are, the less likely they will hit anyone or do any real damage.

Second Corollary: Whenever a "Good Guy" is faced with insurmountable odds, the "Bad Guys" line up in neat rows, allowing the hero to take them all out with a single burst of automatic fire and then escape.

Third Corollary: Whenever a "Good Guy" is actually hit by enemy fire, it is in a designated "Good Guy Area", usually a flesh wound in the shoulder or arm, which restricts the "Good Guy" from doing anything more strenuous than driving, firing weaponry, using melee weapons, operating heavy machinery, or doing complex martial arts maneuvers.

Fourth Corollary: The more times the "Bad Guy" fires, the fewer times he will hit.

that the reason why i can't take those action films on HBO or Cinemax ( put a side those famous one ), these kind of film always make the main character look like an immortal hero, while the bad guys look like a bunch of idiots. Boring.

Anyway, i think we should get back to where we left, Shinobu....just my opinion xD

Playing catchup can be fun...

I believe that being homosexual or bisexual is not a choice because I know that people can't control their feelings.

Lesbian, gay, bi, straight, none of these matter because none of these really exist. They're just lines we draw in the sand to separate ourselves from one another as different groups (this coming from someone currently studying sociology, fun stuff). I believe that we humans are all built to be bisexual in nature. Our sexual preferences are dictated for us by our environments and our experiences. Heterosexuality is only so common because it's what's called a "social norm". Homosexuality exists for the sole purpose of opposing that social norm, much the same way people become "punks" or any other type of nonconformist. When you think about sexuality from this perspective, you even start to see why we have so many of these strange fetishes you see when you browse internet porn. Balloon fetishes and foot fetishes and fecal fetishes and what not. People become curious, they experiment, they discover they like something, and then they redefine themselves by it as some new identity. Personally I don't see the point in the matter. Like who or what you like, what business is it of anyone else's unless you make it their business. If anyone is really curious, I can share some of my other deeper insights into human behavior, but I'll leave this at that and move on now...

Oni's people may not living in different countries like human, they living in different clans and each clan's people have their own abilities. Oni's state, if i'mnot mistake, is Empire institution and biggest, strongest clan control the rest, and Mr Invander's clan must be that control.

You're starting to sound like you somehow read some of the ideas I had for UYRemix. You're not a spy, are you? I guess you could say great minds think alike, but I can't say whether or not your mind is as great as mine. :D

What about Ran?

She, like all the other aliens in UY is based on a Japanese mythological creature. I forget what they were called, but they're somewhat similar to what we in the western world would call a vampire.

once again , you earn my respect for your knowledge.

that the result you get when play too much RPG

Thankyou, people keep arguing that Ran could be an Oni.

[sidzero]

No, she's definitely not an Oni. I would think the fact that she doesn't ever wear tiger-striped clothing (one of those things that signify Oni in UY, even ignoring that she has no horns) would have given that away.

[veehive]

In TV episode 33 -- where Ten loses his horn -- he speaks of Ran's relationship with himself and Lum, saying "The Oni-races have strong bonds between them" (from the U.S. English subtitles).

[UruseiNeo]

I don't remember that at all. When in the episode?

[veehive]

Mmmm ... without getting it out to track it down: just past the half, where Lum and Ten are in the classroom and Ran has just delivered the pill to help (Lum's) horns re-grow. Ran exits, and Lum & Ten comment to each other about Ran's generosity.

[UruseiNeo]

he may have been saying that the Oni Races have strong bonds between them (as in between the oni race and Ran's race)

[sidzero]

Wasn't episode 33 the Hanawa-sensei episode?

[UruseiNeo]

yeah, it was, I believe this one is actually 31

[veehive]

Mengo mengo. Episode in question is the first of 4 episodes on the 9th of the AnimEigo U.S.-release DVD discs, so I labeled it number 33. Checking the episode guide here at Lum-chan.com, this episode is listed as #54. How'd you come up with 31?
