And yeah, I can see the partnership working like that. Ryuu can hold Hayato back, but if he thinks there's no point, then whoa, stuff starts to happen.
Agreed re health and survival, but... well.
When Hayato tries to look serious, it doesn't really work, but that would be down to Jin's "acting" style at the time.
If we're getting into Jin's basic difficulty with acting anything other than 'himself', those smouldering looks at Ryuu take on a very pleasant additional meaning. :-)
I think most people only use the one 'u', actually. I always feel a bit nitpicky when I use two. I just find it really hard to ignore the double vowels, it's just not logical to me. Every single time I write Koki my anal retentive brain goes 'but... but!!!!' But I just know that the other way looks weird to everybody. Too many transliteration systems, that's the problem. It's not like Koki and Ryu are wrong, after all. I just find them less informative than they could be.
Is Tantei Gakuen Q any good? I seem to remember very vaguely that my Japanese friend mentioned it once.
