*** And when Rohan reads further, he finds a nasty surprise:

*** Finally, right after reading this line, both Rohan and the audience are suddenly introduced to Kira's new ability:

** Near the climax of ''Manga/GoldenWind'', [[BigBad Diavolo]] delivers a line that reveals that he's much more important to the series' overall MythArc than the audience was initially led to believe:
--->'''Diavolo:''' An old woman named Enya who had 2 right hands told me she'd tell me how the [[MacGuffin arrow]] worked in return for shooting some. I figured one will be more than enough, so [[GreaterScopeVillain I sold the other five for a handsome sum]].
