Have to refer to his as SOMETHING. I found myself terribly self-conscious typing "Deathmask" all the time in fic. Probably why he only ever showed up in one, and I used his title as often as I could.
I can't say I ever really thought of Shura as anybody's fuckbuddy. He always seemed a bit too...single-minded for such things, to me. But then the Goldies are a confusing lot with a lot of blanks to fill in. The only people I ever outright disagreed with were the people who tried to say Aphrodite was a weak woobie. Weaklings do not become Gold Saints, and despite his weapon of choice the man was a pretty brutal assassin. Not a lot of woobie.
...sorry, tangent. Anyway, I love hearing people's opinions on the Goldies. They are so wildly different thanks to the lack of information from Kuramada, but always interesting nonetheless. Thanks for giving your opinion on DM. \(^-^)/
