I do kind of wonder whether the prevailing idea of Yukimura as feminine/girly/effeminate will persist once people have assmiliated the fourth type. I wouldn't think they were very compatible, but I've seen fandom do more egregiously awful things.

You know, curiously enough, the one I've been coming to think of as most manipulative in the fanon-Fuji manner is Sanada. He's so calm and watchful when he isn't actually playing, and then so (I think) calculatedly and flamboyantly arrogant and loud when he's on. The contrast says deliberate manipulation of his opponenets, to me, rathere the same way Fuji's head games of late-power-revelation do.

I rather despair of ever seeing /that/ Sanada in fic, though. *sighs*

And yes. I know what you mean about the anime versus manga Yukimuras, though I don't know that I can express it any better. I think... perhaps the anime Yukimura's ferocity is inwardly focused. The bridge scene is all about his inner struggle. Where manga Yukimura's is outwardly focused, toward interaction with his team.

*goes to ponder this some more*
