the three evil youkai thieves =
M.J. points out that this is literally 'sannin-gumi' which is
something like 'three man mob'--of the yakuza sort. This tends
to emphasize the idea that these three are a group, with responsibilities
to each other, not just three individuals. It might help explain
why Hiei and Gouki feel so betrayed at Kurama wanting to leave
the mob.
For an amusing twist on this particular
incident in the manga, see Fuji Shinichi's parody. |
