Arigato, my friend. I also believe in Japo perfection, although I'm not gonna Seppuku myself just because of a 9.5 instead 10! I will strive for perfection with the next story... with the ideas I have it might not even be the last one.
And I agree with the final battle, but I wanted to end it real boss/manga king style quickly and decisively to show that B-Dog ain't nuthing ta fuck wit.
