Hey! So I find it really interesting how you're talking about the extra nuances you find with Gin when you understand the Japanese cultural side of things. I study Japanese (and Gin too cause he's kinda my favourite character of all time) but I was wondering if you could point out some examples of this because I'd love to get a better understanding of his character. Love your work ^_^
Hi there!! Glad you like my posts!
I will be posting a long post with information and observations on Gin, with sources and examples, in a few days, actually! So maybe keep an eye out for that!
Unless there is something you would like a specific example of right now?

He's going to make a grand comeback I bet. I really want Aladdin, Morg and Hakuryuu to go against Sin and then they'll be desperate and look to the east at sunrise like in that Lord of the Rings scene and Alibaba will be there with all the Rens
Oh my god! I love that lol. Magi’s version of the battle of Helm’s Deep ^_^ "Look to my coming, at first light, on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the East.“
crystal-prince-kouha answered your question “I wonder what Kouen’s role will be for the remainder of the story....”
I think he and Ha and Mei will do one last cool thing before the series ends..or not. I would be sad then, because I need more Kouha in my life.
I think you’re right. I’m sure all three of them will be involved in something big by the end. It seems that right now Mei is playing the bigger part by helping to get Kou on its feet again, but I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of Kouen or Kouha.

He wouldn't stay in the background that's for sure, there'd be no point having him there if he was just going to be a very pushed back side character. I reckon he still has a role to play in the fight against Sinbad, and with getting Hakuei back
I agree. Ohtaka spent too much time fleshing out aspects of his character to just let him disappear into the background. Plus I don’t think she would have spent time showing us his insatiable thirst for knowledge if it wasn’t going to mean anything in the end. I kinda feel like he may end up being pitted against Arba somehow. He was just as interested in defeating her as Hakuryuu was according to his last conversation with Hakuryuu before his “execution”. Perhaps all of the Rens will work together to bring Arba down since she’s been screwing with their family for generations.
ヾ(´・∀・)ノ << Happy Birthday♪ dear Beth, my fellow elf! I asked Mao-chan to draw Gin for you, I hope you like it! May your day be as joy-filled and wonderful as it can possibly be. *cheers*
