And so one of the plans is not actually taking this tact at all, that Hazou is not presuming to "fix" this relationship with the current plan, just meet as individuals and get to know each other without poking our nose in to fiddle with the messy mechanics of Keiko's relationships.
It's possible to want to help without possessing some sort of condescending sense of superiority over the person you want to help. Sometimes just being a third party makes it possible to do things the people directly involved can't, by mediating or offering an outside perspective. People do this all the time when two people they know have problems with one another.
I don't support this without first getting Keiko's permission.
We have implosion seals already XD
Then we should kill Keiko first!
Implosion seals have more, not less range.
I don't support this without asking Akane's permission first.
My plan, "Gambling, Claymore Clones, and Banshee Fucking", does both of these. Would you vote for it?
Yeah, but that is inconsiderate in the sense that it's just painful to Keiko for us to go befriending the person she cares the most about but who doesn't reciprocate those feelings (as far as Hazou and Keiko have any reason to believe).
I completely agree in general! But I think it's arrogant for Hazou to unilaterally decide to insert himself as a mediator here given that he knows absolutely nothing about Ami's reasoning and therefore has no reason to think that his meditation would be useful and that he knows Keiko doesn't want him to be interacting with Ami.
I'm not sure I'd call it that either.
Hinata, too.
My issue is more a "I don't think this is the best way to do this" sort of thing. It'd be smarter to wait, get implosion seals from Kagome, and make a transfinite bomb.
I'm confused.. what do our interactions with ISC have to do with our reaching out to Ami? I don't think Keiko cares more about them than her sister.
But... it'd be easier to do that if the number of powerful ninja bothering us and getting in our way goes down, no? We could probably even alpha-strike all other villages proper with the Skywalkers, if we're quick with the proverbial knife, and then there'll be nobody to interrupt our research.
My model of Keiko thinks she'd be strongly against this, and so far that's mostly been the opinion offered in the thread. I could definitely be wrong though, and if the plan called for asking her, I wouldn't have these concerns. As far as I can tell, the reason why the plans don't have that is because the writers are pretty certain Keiko would say "hell no, stay out of my business".
Well, as I said earlier, it sort of changes things a bit when you recall that she is a superhuman killing machine that is scary enough to have blackmail on one of the most powerful people in the world.
Dear god.
That's quitters talk. If you really cared about getting permission from dead people, you'd be helping me run the time-travel development conspiracy. Don't fall for @MadScientist 's necromantic temptations!
