In skimming over yet another recap of the new Emperor o'Japan in SoA, it occurred to me rather abruptly that this kid is textbook Master Shedim. Dies in a horrible accident, comes back unscathed, and promptly changes his personality slightly and begins his newly found authority position displaying spoooooky new powers and an tendency not to be killed(*cough* *cough* ibnelsa *cough*).

Not that there isn't anything particularly bad about that, but you know, they did it already (see snide Ibn Elsa comment above). To say nothing of the spiritual shit-storm we're led to believe that is constantly circling around the Emperor because of his kami status, and Ryumyo the uber-dragon looking over everyone's shoulder it doesn't seem likely he could pull it off.

Still, it sure would seem like another Master Shedim scenario, wouldn't it? Prove me wrong, please.
