Unfortunately those "deep" characters dwell in 11 series out of 12. Besides I don't believe in characters (real or fictional) that can fight yet can't. Shinkuro apparently spent lots of time training martial arts when he was still living at Yuuno's home. What use are those martial arts if some random hirelings with the skills of regular bar fighters can kick his ass as much as they want? Not only it is unrealistic but it seems poor script writing. If he can't fight to save his life, then don't give him martial arts skills, for buddha's sake. Make him a bloody scholar or something.
