I rumble a lot and here will be where I will post my rumblings on Yami no matsuei or on topics associated with the series.

TOPIC 1: They don't give out prison uniforms in Gensoukai...

Pretty straightforward topic, for those of you that own the manga vol.10, you’ll notice that Touda is wearing very little; leggings, chains, collar, and arm protectors. Which makes me wonder, did his clothe rot away from all the years perhaps centuries he has been in there or did they just didn’t give him anything to begin with?

TOPIC 2: The Real Estates of the Gensoukai...

It appears that the Shikigamis themselves own houses in Gensoukai because Hisoka was taken to Rikugou’s house when he first fainted in Gensoukai. Then Touda sneaked into Suzaku’s home to ask her about stuff. But we all know that the palace itself is another Shikigami named Tenku. So my question is this, are their homes also a part of Tenku, if so, what happens when they want some privacy? And I wonder if Touda also has a home? Or does he just wonder all over the place?

TOPIC 3: If only Touda went instead of Kojiro and Kotaru...

It is not that I think the twin guardians aren’t strong, but compare to a Shikigami that is able to stand on his own against one of the 12 highest ranked of Shikigamis, they are just not up to that par. I don’t know if Touda is strong enough to duel it out with Kurikara, since they are both fire types and all… but Touda will definitely be strong enough to take care of the swords without that much trouble.

So I think if the twin had not volunteered to go after Hisoka, Kojiro will not have nearly died and the whole mess will not happen. I love the twins and I hate to see them be sad and get hurt =(

TOPIC 4: Touda's New Hairdo...

In case you don't know, Sohryu once said that the spirit energy the Shinigamis use as their power is stored in the hair. Kurikara had cut his hair when he left his prison as to lessen his power. So I wonder, did the same thing happen to Touda? While he was in the dungeon, Touda's hair was all over the place, but when he was set free, his hair was quite short. Did they also cut his hair as a way to prevent Touda from getting too powerful?
