So what's the big deal about Makoto Kino showing up? Hell, what was the point of it? Making it easier for readers to visualize the character?
Making it easier for the authors to write her, saving them the trouble of making up a name and appearance? Is The Antianeira Incident, or future stories
using Kilovolt, in any way a better story for it?




I guess at some point, I just wonder how the story benefits from having everything thrown in that possibly could be. :/

Given Geoff's SI's run a fairly consistent plotline since his introduction, with distinct elements, it's possible that it's a
setup for something later. Examples include the Red Skull plotline slowly gaining momentum, and Geoff's training with the Ignatine(incidentally, the
concept of Revy from Black Lagoon having ANY experience with the warrior monks is enough to send me belly-laughing for a good long while). That, coupled with
Steve Rogers' request that Geoff start rounding up members for this new incarnation of the Invaders, greatly increases the concept that Makoto will
reappear, and will have more than just a shout out status.

And even if she's not used later on by another author, she's in the 'verse now, and another of UF's
numerous contributors may, in fact, utilize her.

Blades introduced us to Sith Knight Rei(as well as UF's counterparts of Shinji and Asuka, IIRC) and we've slowly but surely been seeing the progression
involved there in Warriors of the Outer Rim. Just because something comes completely out of left field in one story doesn't mean it won't be explained
ever again.
