This is just a random life thought (inspired by the post above) but I noticed that whenever somebody says they're not really good at drawing, they're actually really, really, really good at drawing.
Back to random Shenmue thoughts, though. I think about Chai a lot, he creeped me out so much as a kid that I've kind of become obsessed with him. I guess this is more of a random Chai thought (again...) but what's with that arrow on his pants and why is it pointing upwards? Is Chai trying to condition us subconciously into looking at his face? Maybe he doesn't want us to look below the waist because he's ashamed of what he has (or hasn't got, rather) downstairs. Poor Chai.
