        I don't think so, not at all. Ifurita is far more...umm, Shamps
lovers are going to kill me...far more intelligent. Wait, unless you're
talking about the TV Ifurita? Maybe then. But the OAV Ifurita is a truly
tragic figure.

And courageous.. I can see that depth of character and self sacrifice in
Kasumi.. and Kasumi's life is quietly tragic in it's own way.. she has
sacrificed her own life to step into her mother's shoes.

Haven't seen the TV Ifurita, so I cannot comment there.

        She's a ditz on TV, pure and simple.  Hell, I heard she nearly
killed herself imitating Afura Mann's technique...
