She chuckled. "All of me, Tofu-sensei. I'm still Akane - but I'm also
Jhery-a-Conel and Gabrielle and Moonglum and Little John and so many
others. They were always there, but now I know about them - just as
Ranma is Corum of the Scarlet Robe and Xena of Amphipolis and Elric of
Melnibone and Robin of Sherwood."

	Erk. I got two of the four references. No points for guessing which
two. Some quick web research yielded a few bajillion pages devoted to
Michael Moorcock, so I'm assuming his works are the other half of the
equation.

	An interesting concept - a spamfic, or a beginning? If the latter, I
would only say that while it's all well and good to have us be told that
Akane is still partly the suspicious, violent Akane we know and love, it
would be nice for her to show it as well. Y'know, forget all those past
lives and just belt him one every now and then.

	Waiting for more, considering reading some Moorcock
