Nanso Satomi Hakkenden: Is Inuzuka Shino Talented or Goofy?

In original work and so on, Inuzuka Shino, the first hero of Hakkenden, is portrayed, as the master of learning and martial, serious, dignified and talented man.

But some fanfiction emphasizes his dumb.

In OVA "The Hakkenden" and Ms. Aomata Pinku's comics "Hakkenden", Inuzuka Shino is portrayed as very dazed man.

Ms. Aomata said,

"Among Hakkenshi, only Shino is likely to stomp the dog's poo when they're walking the street."

（By the way, I think it's also suitable to both Itou Makoto and Nishizumi Miho.）

And The book,"Bakusho Hakkenden（日本語：爆笑八犬伝）/Laughing Hakkenden" said "Inuzuka Shino's cross-dressing is goofy rather than filial.

In original work, Shino became the master of learning and martial and the one man army when he was a child, but he's somewhere goofy.

For example,

・He had rided his dog instead of the horse

・He hadn't noticed he hadn't been suitable his cross-dressing.

・For 3 weeks, he hadn't taken the bath and tied his hair since his father died.

However, particularly, his goofy is episode about his Murasamemaru/Murasame Sword was stolen.

After Murasamemaru was stolen in Otsuka (Hachioji City in Tokyo Now), he hadn't confirmed the substance of his katana until he arrived at Koga (Koga City in Ibaraki now)

Japanese katana is needed daily maintenance even if Murasamemaru isn't needed maintenance.

However, this episode linked the famous duel of Horyukaku/Horyu Tower directly.

In the point that he's goofy actually despite looking dignified, Inuzuka Shino may be similar to Himura Kenshin in Samurai X/Rurouni Kenshin.
