History Headscratchers / FlameOfRecca

** When it came to meeting that domme Marie, yes, most likely his cruel methods would have gotten him out of it. Instead of him being so stupid as to sit down with someone he oblviously knew was the enemy and drank tea from her when he even suspected it of being poisoned, with his cruel methods he would of just threaten the woman at blade point, making her reveal her BDSM nature a whole lot sooner, allowing him to take out her and Poochie with minimal effort. However, in the case of Aoi...considering it's never shown or stated what he had done to Mikigami, and he was caught off guard at the time too, it's difficult to speculate how different that would have went.

** Originally in the manga, Ganko was never at the tournament. Fuuko had left for the tournament without Ganko knowing that she left until it was too late, so Ganko remained staying at Fuuko's home during that entire arc. For the anime, although they added Ganko on the sidelines, it would have been too much work for the animators to add her as another battler for Team Hokage. It also would have messed up some of the battles to have fitted her in as a fighter, such as [[spoiler: when Kaoru Koganei finally joined Team Hokage when they were missing one of their members when fighting one of the Team Uruha]] having her there as a fighter would have completely ruined the justification of why they had needed another member at that time.

** Actually, it makes sense if you know the ending. [[spoiler: Previous incarnation of Recca (Koheita) failed to protect previous version of Yanagi (Sakura). Their bond survived through generations and Recca subconciously recognised Yanagi as "the one he must protect no matter what". He doesnt know why, nor does he care, explaining it by his usual ninja-obsession and being charmed by her kindness.]]

*** Recca is pretty overpowered on his own. There are ways to make Tokiya still look {{Badass}} despite not being overpowered, making him a JamesBondage does not do him justice.
