Yeah, Ryu was due some screen time (I say screen because you read Mob Ties on the computer). We haven't seen him through the whole summer arc. And here's someone we've seen even less. For those of you who don't remember, it's Koko (I don't think I've mentioned her name before this), Kyoko's Mom.

Your ad here, right now

lol the door is still broken and they still put him in the same cell. Poor Kyoko's Mom

Oh man, I totally forgot her daughter died. ;_; man I'm a bad person...

An interesting theory... I will allay any fears, however. No. Ryu hasn't killed anyone. He's a minor nuisance in the community, as was revealed when he and Sid were first arrested. It could be that he's just a bad villain.

The curse theory actually has a bit of merit. Bengal would be just the type to drop a bad luck mojo on someone's head when they were a baby, just to make sure that he'd never be a threat when he reached adulthood. Heck, if there were a prophecy that the future head of the Black Sheep would be a major threat to him (Sid/Mika), but that prophecy were made at the time when Ryu was the only living heir Papa-san had, then dropping some cataclysm-level misfortune on him would just be good business.

Weird thought, but what if Ryu was responsile for the death of Koko's husband? I mean, murder is unlikely, since Ryu is more dangerous to himself than others (i.e. the gun incident), but Ryu is unlucky enough to have accidentally killed him without realizing who he was. (Heck, Ryu is the kinda guy who would accidentally knock a flower pot off a window box, to have it land on the head of the husband of the one person left in the world that might show him sympathy, so that when it is revealed that he did kill him (accidentally), he'd lose all sympathy and be utterly alone in the world. The Meg Theory of Bad Luck: If the universe hates you, any event, whether good, bad, or neutral, always ends up leading to future misfortunes. i.e. Spit a piece of gum on the sidewalk today, and that gum will pull your shoe off tomorrow, causing you to stumble, fall off the sidewalk, and land in the street directly in front of an oncoming semi-truck.

Don't count Ryu out yet, Gromire.

ho' there ninja! whats to say the usual as usual? I love the comic but i'm finding it less/more appealing. more for the stories but less for the characters. i'm a huge sid fan personally. but i all so like he stands for a lot in my mind not a hero but as a "strong man" some one who is fundamentally flawed but has an unmovable set of ideals. but i think Ryu could become a strong man too but if it weren't for his unlucky streak.. some one might believe he has a curse on him...

they might also not hook up, instead he will grow some as a person and eventually be able to go and rekindle his wife's passion for him. although i kinda doubt that, or maybe just be a better more mature person overall without getting a girlfriend.

taltamir at 12:12AM, April 19, 2009

why is everyone just going "sex sex sex"... this is... out of character I think. They MIGHT hook up, but not like that.

omg I have finally caught up, took me like 3 days. Awesome comic, now I can fave!

royduncan100 at 3:33PM, April 18, 2009

hot prison guard and a lonely cell are always a bad combo.i am surprised you have not done a jail house rock parody yet.is it just me, i like to wait a couple of days so i get to read two or three pages back to back.it makes the story flow better.and that makes a good thing into a fantastic thing!oh, if you thought mob ties got it bad from the villain check out the new kill.you had it easy.

gullas at 3:42AM, April 18, 2009

I sense pity sex and a plot twist coming up ^_^

akayak at 10:01PM, April 17, 2009

Are Koko and Ryu going to make a new body for kyoko to inhabit?

dgdrake at 8:12PM, April 17, 2009

Ya know i have to admit i always wondered how she was affected

taltamir at 6:40PM, April 17, 2009

i have to say i am proud of of him, normally he is a big idiot but so far he is handling it well.

taltamir at 4:19PM, April 17, 2009

oh wow, then she is a widow and now she lost her only daughter, this is terrible.

Author_Ninja at 2:20PM, April 17, 2009

Excellent question. It will be answered tomorrow, but since people can research it, I have no reason to hide it. It was mentioned during the wedding that Koko WAS married to a guy whose body type was very similar to Sidney's, which is probably why Kyoko likes him so much. Mika said she missed him, which suggests he is dead.

Jekyll at 12:47PM, April 17, 2009

Ouch..yeah, i'm always the one to try and comfort someone who's crying. It's not fun, but it's something that has to be done. Now I'm trying to remember..Is Koko married already, or was that monocled guy Kyoko's Grandfather..not for sure.
