Well, I used to play Ragna in CT, it helped get a feel for the game, but it got pretty boring so I switched to Hakumen. I think that it was the whole samurai knight design that caught my eye. His counters was a bonus. Great character, in my opinion. Then came Valkenhayn's release. "What? He's similar to Slayer? Guess I've found my sub." Played him, saw that he's actually very different from Slayer. He's a pretty strong, quick hitting character. (AND THAT DROPKICK!! <3) So to me, it was like playing a faster Hakumen. Since then, he became my main and Hakumen got knocked down to sub.
