*nods* I remember, recently, seeing someone ask what tied Ban and Ginji, saying that it was clear what Ban did for Ginji, but not clear what Ginji did for Ban. I think that's being answered in the last handful of issues, more clearly than ever--if the world is created by will, then what Ban believes he is what he will become. And Ginji is the one who believes that Ban is something good and true and right, believes it strongly enough to counter, for example, his mother's words. I can't believe that won't be the deciding factor in the end.
