Kurohige isn't going to win! Hell, he won't! >_< (at least not in the end, though right now... don't even know what he wants, so yeah. ^^;)

With Ace dead, any victory of Shirohige's would be empty either way... (which is another reason that Ace MUST NOT STAY DEAD ;_;)

And... I guess the reason it didn't anger me as much is because I didn't immediately jump to that conclusion? You may be right, of course, that might how it plays out, and then I will cry and rage, but just seeing him - not raging yet.
