I can't believe you're so worked up over Jyurouta. He wasn't built up that much. It was just a cameo role for a pretty well-known seiyuu, as was his girl. XD Get over it.

I will not get over it! That's sloppy writing, is what that is -- cameo or not. In a movie, you either play a key role, or you don't. They shoved him right into the middle, and even made it seem like he was at least going to have a decent action sequence, and then they said, "Fuck it. Don't need him."

Maybe it was to make a point ooooh. As if it matters. Though I will say I did make a noise when he died. It was a slap in the face. You need to see Karas. :|b Speaking of points to be made.
