Don't post in a thread that's a year old, please: if you want to comment on the author, VM or PM him, if you want to argue with Mike, same deal.
OK, firstly, don't necro a year-old thread just to make comments like that, and secondly, the Manga doesn't really represent what actually happened in canon.
I disagree about commenting on the fic, actually, but just answering a random question like that is definitely not worthy of a necro....
