I still don't know how to turn off auto-whatsit

Things have settled down finally with this new computer.  Apart from the odd tussle with Windows Media Player v12 (and the score currently sits at WMP: 1, typist: 0, after one round of lyrics searching), things really couldn't be better (can you hear the sarcasm? CAN YOU?).

...

I recently watched a really tearful video. Really.  KHR 6927 with backing track of "Yuushinron" by RADWIMPS.

I noticed a comment about it which I've taken issue with:

"There's already been a tsuna pairing with this song, its 5927 and i like that one better..."

I swear there was more to this comment, but I've been imagining things that haven't been said lately...I wonder if I'm going a bit mad.  Seeing things out of the corner of my eye... >.>

ANYWAY.  I just wanted to point out that I don't think such a pairing would work as well.  Though I haven't seen the video in question and if someone could point it out to me I will watch it and form a more educated opinion.  What I think about the comment is that this 6927 video works much better because Mukuro would indeed be the type of person to take his own life after having found one portion of happiness in a life that began with hate.  We don't know what his past was like, but from what he has said ("As I thought, this world is worthless too...") they mustn't have been much better.  So the fact Mukuro allowed Tsuna into his heart (as cheesy as that sounds) shows how much he was affected by Tsuna.  Whether or not there is actual romance in it, I think the core of 6927 is what I have described above - the fact that Tsuna managed to get Mukuro to be happy with his life despite the darker side of humanity.

And because Mukuro is just that sort of person, he would kill in order to defend that which he deems precious to him.  And he would enjoy it too, the killing.  The combined despair/loss with the euphoria he likely feels while killing those who murdered Tsuna (in the video) would have been enough to make anyone cry.  This was the reason I, personally, cried.  (Possibly also linked to the fact I've RPed Mukuro for so long and so much that I've all but meshed out his character and the relationships he has with others.)

Okay, now the reason why I think this does not suit Gokudera.

The way I see it, Gokudera's relationship with Tsuna is not one that could be described as 'heart-breaking'.  Even if he is possibly the most dedicated Guardian, I don't think it can form as deep a connection as that between Mukuro and Tsuna.  Sure, Gokudera would die for his boss, but Mukuro would kill for him.  There is a slight distinction there though they appear similar when you first think about it.  The type of devotion is dependent on a person's mindset.  I rather think Yamamoto is also leaning towards the "I'll kill for you" line, along with Hibari.

But this is about 5927.  So..I may be a little biased, but I have yet to see something 5927 related that puts it on par with that of 6927.  :-/  Feel free to prove me wrong.

tsuna, khreborn, gokudera, rant, mukuro
