Six Comrades better as three?
I've been thinking that perhaps the Jinchuu Arc's Rokutai would have been better off as the Santai (Three Comrades). The comic bookish looking ones, Kujirinami, Mumyoi and Banshin just seemed a bit out of place to my mind. I know Watsuki likes to do wild characters from time to time such as Hyotoko and Fuji, but three of them as constant characters was a bit much.
Kujiranami started out as kind of a sympathetic character. I could understand why he was angry, being denied an honorable death. But by the 23rd volume, he was reduced to running around barefoot screaming, "BATTOUSAI!" and just rampaging like a lunatic.
Mumyoi was just a train wreck from the beginning. He's unbelievably ugly and all he does is yell "I'LL KILL YOU!" over and over again in his battle with Saitou. Personally, I wouldn't have cared if Saitou had finished him off.
Banshin was really out of place in army fatigues which weren't even invented until the 20th century. His fight with Sano was kind of cool, but he really seemed like he was just there to be an opponent for Sano.
I simply would have had it be Enishi, Gein and Ottowa (who was really cool, but needed some better development) wreaking havoc on Kenshin's friends.
That aside though, it's still the best part of the story.
