As for the real villain of the piece, who started the whole thing off by
assaulting Akane and framing Ryoga, I favor the Jusenkyo guide ("Ah, no
can eat this one, mother $#@#$!").

Wow... talk about holding silly grudges...  Even Ryouga pales in 
comparison.

	Very silly.  Combining it with the really grim and twisted plot put 
forward is like doing a musical set in Auschwits.
