I'll probably have more to say about Saber later. I really haven't been dropping by this thread.

That's fine! It'll be here for you when you're ready.

Ren's philosophy of "justice is strength, strength is justice" (which I recall TV-Nihon actually got backwards somehow) is still the same as before, but his confusion at Desast's suggestion of absolute strength shows a new angle, that other than his black/white perspective, he actually hates the idea of putting a cap on his strength, which is one of his few good qualities. As I mentioned before, constant self-improvement is an important part of a ninja's lifestyle, so reaching a point where that's no longer possible would be worse than death for him. Why settle for infinity when you can strive for infinity+1.

I mean, I definitely assumed that Desast was once a member of Sword of Logos, even if none of the active Swordsmen are aware of it. But that's just a guess!

And good catch on Ren's motivations! His whole thing is Getting Better Through Combat, which is not a path with a destination to it. Much like Desast -- perhaps too much like Desast -- he needs better opponents to sharpen himself against, like a sword.
