lol...yes, Taka is a bit whimpy in the OAV. I 
tend to think of Taka and Tamahome as two 
separate personalities, since Taka is a bit more 
mature than Tamahome, plus they had different 
lifestyles in growing up so they act differently.

Plus Taka doesn't know martial arts. ;P But he 
does have his scenes, every once in awhile. Sorta 
like Miaka, except not as whiney.

Gods...someday I'll find a cel of Tamahome with 
his bandana....someday. -.-;;
