Here's what I don't get, I say, wildly changing topics. How come Dokugakuji keeps going on and on about how much Kougaji reminds him of his brother, and that's why he became loyal to him, etc, when his actual brother is right there? I'm missing something fundamental here. Why is he sticking with the substitute when the real thing is across the way, flourishing weapons affectionately? Is it because he feels guilty about killing his mother, or what? Also, what happens after Gojyo's mother gets killed? Does Dokugakuji just waltz on out the door into exile, saying "That's the last favour I'm gonna be able to do you, kid," leaving Gojyo stricken on the floor?
