Lantz, I recommend you reading Sapkowski's compendium of Arthurian lore after I translate it for BL and DSM this summer. Learn from more successful writer than even BL's best fic writers like Moczo and Arashi.

@Umbra

A: as I recall Muramasa created demon swords while totally off his rocker.

@Kat

no, I'd prefer not to read a haphazard translation of a foreign take on myths. Cultural perspective has a lot to do with Myth.

Incorrect, Muramasa simply was the best at what he did when he was really angry and of poor state of mind, not stark raving lovecraftian-level insane.

I'm Masters Associate in translation with very good final grades (applying for Ph.D studies and attending international conferences), so I'm more qualified than most people, and besides, Sapkowski discusses all takes on the myth, not only the original.

Besides, Arthurian lore is the common heritage of Europe in the same vein as Greco-Roman vein, so dismissing non-English writer is xenophobic.

Hahahahahaha, don't tell me whatever you deem is the only true objective canon and dozens if not hundreds of writers are "biased".

Because a single book is gonna be SOOOOOOOOOO much more neutral than a neutral compilation.

Lantz you are a failure of logic.

There is also the fact that Sapkowski mentions from time to time Once and Future King too, and in rather neutral tone.

Q. Why isn't Satoshi growing scales and a tail since his soul fused with the dragon?

Maybe he is and you just can't see them.

-THEORY- Tell me what you think of this.
More seriously it could be that Satoshi is 100% dragon now, but can take human form because the dragon could shapeshift, or Satoshi could shapeshift before and kept it after becoming dragon.

On a less theory laden path it is likely that Lantz's AU has a different set of rules for how body and soul interact.
