Shintaro

Shintaro new, in any fight with an equally armed and competent opponent, there were 3 possible outcomes, you could say, The Holey Trinity. He dies, you die or you both die. If he did not choose to fight it was not because of fear or compassion, for his enemy, merely because The Casino of Life did not give him at least, a 50/50 probability of winning. If you have a longer affective range, and are more competent that than your enemy, then you can remove 2 of those possible outcomes, and in that case, take the shot.
