*shakes head* That is precisely why the Challenge arc is nailed to the manga, with only a few pinches of the anime here and there to fill in the blanks; there were a number of things the anime canon, and its extensions, does with the Rikkai characterizations, in particular, that I'm not entirely fond of. Though I am quite curious to see where Konomi intends to take Yukimura's character in the manga; he's been so scarce, to date, that his character for Challenge is almost completely extrapolation. Similarly, the manga storyline has delivered a fairly severe shock to Fuji, but hasn't yet told us how he will assimilate it. Exactly because he has been so independent and detached under the previous status quo, I'm working, here, with the idea that those habits will be shaken as he adjusts to his new strength.
*thoughtful* I expect I should actually note, on the Challenge stories, that they're based on the manga continuity.
