Jei has inhabited Inazuma's body for a long time. Stan's upcoming story arc Sparrows could trigger a few major developments in UY...including the possibility of Jei switching to a new "host".
If such an event were to occur, which character should become possessed by Jei?
I think the idea of Jei possesing another character was cool, but I liked him as he originally was. At least he keeps the black blade in Inazuma's body!
I think it would probably be best if he returned to his original form. But if he had to switch I think Gen or Kenichi would be the most interesting hosts, Gen as his best friend and Kenichi as the husband of the mother of his child and childhoodfriend.
Other than that, Stray Dog would just be too cool..
I picked Sanshobo only because it would be so delightfully evil. Of course, now that we have a good idea that Jei himself may have been a priest at one point, maybe not so fun. Come to think of it, Jei as Inazuma would be his ultimate possession. Inazuma being the most skilled swordsperson in the pages of UY, moreso than the likes of Usagi, Nakamura Koji, Tomoe, Gen and dare I say even the mighty master Katsuichi... makes him/her the ultimate force in the UY universe.
Actually, if he were to possess Katsuichi...that would be the most wild turn of events in UY history. And Jotaro replaces Keiko... too insane...
There's actually one other character I forgot to put in: Sasuke. Come to think of it, he could almost count as the last option on the poll as well, since he already bears a physical resemblance to the original spearman Jei. Anybody else ever notice that?
