Touch...ed by a car

Well, Touch DID end up getting interesting. After they got into high school, everything started to move. Both brothers declaring, Kazuya getting into the baseball club and Tatsuya into the boxing club, and Kazuya's team reaching the Koushien finals.

Geez. I've heard of sharp turns in the story, but this one takes the cake. The author(ess?) just "dispatched" Kazuya to the other world courtesy of the loving caress of a truck. While saving a child, of course. Killing such a character is like hitting Kasumi from Ranma, tsk tsk. Like kicking a puppy.

Style bonus for the driver for NOT hitting the guy's pretty face. That means the inner organs must be pretty messed. Ouch.

It'd be funny though if instead of a car, it were like this:
"Poor boy, lying like that on the street."
"Yeah, what with all the blood around. So messy."
"Some maniacally laughing mangaka just whipped out a bazooka and blasted him through a shop window, see."
"My, and I thought Japan was a safe place. That's too bad."

Or:
Doctor: "Sorry, Kazuya. You won't be able to become a Shinobi anymore."
Kazuya: "Huh? Shinobi?"
Doctor: "Err... I think I've got the wrong se-"
Gai-sensei: "LEE!!!!!"
Kazuya: "GAI-SENSEI!!! No wait, why do I know your name?!"
Gai-sensei: "NO MATTER, YOU WILL HEAL FOR THE POWER OF YOUTH IS BURNING IN YOUR SPIRIT!!!"
Kazuya: O.o;;
