Amazing how people can miss that. It makes me wonder how much thought they've really put into this "classic" if they don't see that as the lynchpin holding the entire series together.
IMO, that's far and away the most interesting portion of the story. Too bad that so much of it is lost because of whiny emo characters. Then again, it's the old "east vs. west" debate... the Japanese like different characters than westerners do a lot of the time.
