If even after this episode shinta|hikari likes Shinkuro's character, I'll be honestly amazed. The guy sucks so much he could put Hoover out of the market. It's incomprehensible how he first insist they go back to the old apartment and then when the Kuhoins come - big surprise there - he totally fails to put up any manner of resistance to protect Murasaki. Quite the contrary, in fact: He managed to force Murasaki to crumble back to her sad pre-liberation state in order to protect him!

I always used to think Evangelion's Shinji is the biggest loser in the history of anime but he's a brave hero compared to this guy. The fucker better either truly redeem himself starting from the next ep or alternatively die. Either choice would satisfy me.
