he’s the only person in the group who accepts the real Syaoran for who he truly is. i'm glad i'm not the only one that noticed that Kurogane doesn't see r!Syaoran reflected against c!Syaoran. maybe because he's the only one that really saw Syaoran in the first place, and recognizes his true "heart"; just like he did with piffle!Tomoyo, even if they're separate people ( ... )

Kurogane seems like one of those fathers who would throw his son into a serious situation, where he has to choose right or wrong, because he trusts that he'll make the best decision. That makes me also think that he's learning just as much as his student is.

And another wonderful thing about Kurogane is just as you said. Yes, he had a sad, traumatic past. Yes, he was just as hurt as the others when clone-Syaoran betrayed them. But he doesn't let it get him down. He doesn't dwell on thoughts like "What if I had done this-..." or "If only I had done that-..." He cries, he treats his wounds, but he keeps moving forward and gets strong as he does so.

I think that's why he gets frustrated with Fai so much. It's like he wants to just grab the magician by the shoulders and shout, "Grow a spine, face your fears, and do something about them! No more running away."

...He's alot like Doumeki, in many ways.

i loved that part in Acid Tokyo when he says to Fai, "Don't think i'm letting you distract me. I'm not." and later, the "quit screwing and a toughen up already". he was really, really starting to get short with him - and then all that clone crap blew it right back out of the water. i was like, WHY? i wanted to see Kurogane lay it out for Fai... hopefully this will happen in the near future.

Kurogane and Fai have an interesting dynamic. ...I think I'm going to rant about that soon too.

…If he thinks you’re worth it.
Excellent ending line. (And Fai needs to know that he's worthy in Kurogane's eyes, gah.)

Like you, I like the change in Kurogane best, I'm sure Tomoyo would have been proud of him if she sees him now. I think Kuro is a good guy at heart but because of his past, he wanted to be strong and lost sight of the reason why he wanted to be strong in the first place: to protect those who are important to him.

I love all those real-Syao/Kuro interactions.

For now, I don't think Fai holds a grudge against Syao but it will be logical for him to feel wary and apprehensive as a natural reaction, to someone who looks like the person who gorge out your eye.

Kurogane is my favorite character and will always be my favorite character. He's such a nice guy to everybody (or at least some people), even if he tries hard not to.

Also... I think Fai needs to know his own worth.

...Gah. He's so frustrating.
