Thanks Tora! Almost got the hang of this slurring thing (I have to say, since I've started trying to help translate, my anger at ko's and baby yukkuri has increased like a hundredfold).
I noticed the same thing in myself. At first, seeing the "star" of Between Studies bullying the runts made me think, "What a dick." After a while of reading and translating all the baby-yu speak, though, I came back to it and just thought, "Meh."
