As you'll notice...I'm going through your FY fics (at least until I convince myself to go back to studying). Tomo was my favorite bad guy...mostly because he was strong in his evil convictions and didn't back down. If you're going to be a villain you shouldnt be too sympathetic of a character. Perhaps it is because Tomo was so mysterious that one doesnt know the reasons for his 'evil' unlike Nakago and Soi...who's reasons are explained at the end.
