Dude, is Sara a plant? I think she's a plant. A spy. A spy with MY NAME!

A spy for what I have no idea... I mean who cares about these three enough to go to all the trouble that would mean?

...

So... Jin likes Fuu? I didn't think so before, but chasing after her was more than he's ever done before in terms of demonstrating compassion towards her feelings.

....

Or... no he doesn't. He was just being mysterious and nice.

Does Fuu like Jin or Mugen?

She chose Mugen... was she choosing him because she was being selfish, or does she like Jin better but she she was realistically trying to help Sara by sending her with the better choice for bodyguard of a blind person?

Or... wait, she does like Jin better? She's kinda been flirty with both of them over the course of the show... but then again a lot of her more emotional scenes have been with Jin. If I remember correctly, anyway. I've forgotten some details of older episodes.

Damn this is so confusing. Fuu's indecisive.

...

HA! I TOTALLY KNEW SHE WAS A FAKER!

Kick her ass, Jin!

...

She fights cool.

Okay... I want the next episode now, please.

I must confess that I think in the end I like Jin better than Mugen, and have pretty much from the start of the show. Mugen's funny and cool, but not at all sexy. I think his character design is rather ugly. Jin's sexy and cool, but kind of cold and distant and all, which puts me off too. But ultimately not as much as Mugen sometimes puts me off.

I think Fuu gets along well with either of them (as proven so far in the show), but then again I really liked that one girl a few episodes back who decided that one day she would marry Mugen. I kind of like to believe that a few years down the road, they'd run into each other and do exactly that. She would be better for Mugen, ultimately, than Fuu would.

I guess I can say I'm a Fuu/Jin, Mugen/that one girl, shipper.

But only loosely, you know. My shipping tendencies for SC are flexible to the extreme. Because we still know so little about what's going on any of the character's heads at any one point. But that's a rant for another day. A rant I have every time I watch this show.
