[He grabs a book and flips through it until he finds a spiky-haired character. He points him out to Kanji]

Okay, right, so this guy? His entire village got wiped out by some bad dudes who didn't even have a good reason for it. Issue 152, he finally catches up with those guys after like, a whole decade. And it turns out, his parents, they made a deal so his sister and him wouldn't get killed. It turns out she ended up joining up with those guys, and now they gotta fight! Except-spoilers-in the end, this guy's best friend, he talks to the sister instead and tells the truth about what happened. Our man here, he got himself all ready, but at the last moment his sister betrays those guys she's been with for years and he's got a family again! The bad guys get away, then they have to decide what next. He's spent his whole life chasing those guys down, but now he has something more important. But now she wants to make them pay for what they did, and suddenly he's the guy who's trying to hold someone back, for the first time ever. It's like, a complete flip from how things were since the beginning!

[Did you get all that? Whatever it all was, Beast Boy seems to think it's the best story ever, and 100% pure character stuff.]
