dude, unless you think i'm that dumb (or unless you can't read), i've already stated a coupla times that he has been accepted and i can't change that..
and if that was the simple reason, then it wouldn't make the other 'complicated' reasons make sense...
either way the simple reason that bud's given me is much each for me to accept then the whole risking his life and the scent of bloodshed conpuzzling stuff.

EDIT: okai, in response to the quote, i meant that i've accepted that he's the only samurai around and i can't change that he was the one who was accepted.
