Okay, so I kinda sorta a just a little bit already talked to Sonickrazy but I wanna post it here where everyone can see. It is established in Ten that Akagi believes in reincarnation, it is PROVEN in Akagi that Akagi lives every god damn life believing in reincarnation. Hero (Hiro) takes place 3 years after a certain little event. . .
Why three years later?
If you read Ten the final scene takes place a year and a half after and Ten is there and Hero is there and they are talking and happens they just kinda go eat.
Why not just start Hero right where Ten left off? They go eat and then go Dude! You have to play me in Mahjong like right the fuck now! . . . But instead of that he writes a second "chance" meeting a year and a half later?
Why three years?
Akagi died three years ago.
Akagi believes in reincarnation.
FKMT is writing a work of fiction.
. . .
Hero VS 3 Year Old Akagi II?
Think about it. Get back to me.
