It's true. You get nothing out of riding the other guys' shafts. HOWEVER, if Buki gets in you get an amazing scroll! Now doesn't that sound like a great deal?
I'll take a double triple Buki deluxe, on a raft. 4x4 Buki style. Extra Buki with a shimmy and a squeeze. Light Buki grease, make it cry. Burn it, and let it swim.
Nice, your character using this Scroll is wearing the first edition of Katanas of Darkness, before NimoniX hijacked it and made it Nitoryu by replacing the blue with gold.
