I wonder what it would be like to marry

Seta Soujiro

Seta Soujiro

Alias: Tenken Soujiro (Soujiro the Sword of Heavens).

Looks: Cute, very cuuuute. He's the most handsome, IMHO, of the Juppon Gatana guys (I dunno if I should count Aoshi as an official JG member, then Soujiro should be second). Has a boyish face with puppy dog dark eyes, short brown hair, a slender but firm frame. His clothes are a little strange at first if you haven't seen him: he sorta combines the Western and Eastern clothing ways, though he looks nice on them. Permanently smiles to hide his emotions, yet he only breaks down in his final fight against Himura-san. Very polite in his manners and treatment to people, fur sure he'll treat you like a princess.

Brains: Good indeed. In every line coming outta his mouth there's a sorta playful hidden intention. Shishi-o trusts him like no one else, which should mean something. Cho said about him that he's smart enough not to be *ever* captured, too.

Personality: Two-sided. In one hand we have one of the most cold-blooded killers in the whole Japan next to Shishi-o sama and Battousai, a man who will stop at anything to "be the strongest as the strongest survives in a world of weaklings", even if "anything" means swimming in a sea of blood, i.e., murdering his own feelings to make sure he will. In the second hand, there's the Crying Mask: a little boy who hates to cause pain after he killed his own relatives to save his life, and may be willing to leave and start a new life. Both of those personalities of Soujiro fight constantly under his smile, thus causing his loss at the hands of Kenshin.

Cooking - Home Economics: Unknown, but possibly enough to provide himself of the tea and dango he loves so much (dango? How cool!). As he currently now moves constantly, he has not much time to improve in this area.

Fighting skills: Hah! Should we dare to ask? He's way good, with a ridiculous speed which surpasses nearly everyone in the series. Tenken comes for something. It's said that he pretty much invented his Tenken techniques, like the Shukuchi (Reduced Earth) and the Sho-ten-satsu (Instant Heaven Kill), himself based in his leg strenght, but surely Shishi-o helped a deal.

Special abilities: Gets along even with his enemies (ask Saitou ^^;;;). Cool to the point of inhumanity, smiling everywhere, kicking happily @$$es. He's just second to Aoshi in my tastes, you see?

Competition: None romantic, officially. Misao is a possibility, only, THX to the fanfickers (hi Sariah! And to everyone to wrote about this *lol*). And in Kourin's eyes, Kamatari... *freaks out*

In-Laws: It will depend on when did you meet Soujiro. Real ones were ALL killed, needless to say. If you met him when he's alone, I'd say you're quite safe. But when in JG, beware. Shishi-o will *ever* let Soujiro go out with a girl if she distracts him from the speech of "the strong will survive". Maybe Yumi-oneesan will be very helpful and even mediate between you and Shishi-o if she likes you enough.

Finances: Possibly Soujiro will be a rurouni for quite a time, so expect to work hard or bring your own cash.

Sex: Hard to say. With the emotion problems, I may say he'll be submissive and wanting a lot of cuddle from you, and at the following moment, a complete dominator who will be on top whether you want or not.

Overall: Soujiro really needs a break, after being forced to kill his awful brothers and sisters, and later losing the sort of parental figure who led him to be the one he is now. Be very sincere, loving and REALISTIC (not everything about him is wine and roses, specially in the money and safety part), when Soujiro is around: once you get into his life and give him a little stability (how to do it--- another story ^^), he will open then like a flower to you and make a very devoted husband.
