Bearer of the Souleater

Ok. Yes, I know I have McDohl issues. I now know without a doubt that I love this boy with bias. Having enjoyed Suikoden V like no other Suikoden and fangirled over so many characters in it, I felt guilty. I also adored the hero from this game so much my brain ended up arguing with me. The prince was more developed, had more solid personality etc etc compared to McDohl, hell... the prince rocked. But every step he (the prince) made, there's a mental gauge of him measuring up with McDohl. Obsessed much, aren't I?

There was a somewhat contest in my head between McDohl and the Prince of Falena for some time. McDohl won in the end. I adore Prince, no doubt about it. But McDohl is just different. If I really compare both boys, the Prince had it GOOD and not just good, he had it EASY. The stars, destiny, fate and even the war was kind to him in terms of casualty, companion, consequences, even recruitment. McDohl's life sucked big time the day he got involved in the war and it got worse without truly getting better. He made it better for all the other people he fought for, but his personal life is just gone. To make the long story short, he can be compared to the Grim Reaper, aka Death.

So McDohl wins against all heroes in Suikoden XD And because I remember the curse of the Souleater, and Ted had it for 300 years and now McDohl swore his immortal life to bear the Souleater despite losing everything and knowing he will lose MORE in the futre... I want to slap Luc again for his reasons in starting the stupid STUPID WAR in Suikoden III. Yes, he's in pain but Luc's excuse isn't good enough to cause death and destruction.
