I shall take the opposition.
Shini is indeed not a very angry person. He is angry on a very average level, to the point that he only resorts to physical violence among friends, and only when someone does something to provoke him, such as play a team in King of Fighters entirely comprised of throw characters. For instance, I have not once seen him, or seen evidence that he does, strike a child--and as can reasonably be attested, children test the limits of temper more frequently and more competently than most any other source known.

"Anything that might be of interest to Slitscan. Which is to say, anything that might be of interest to Slitscan's audience. Which is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections."
