Even if Aizawa doesn't have an afro at the tail end of the series, he HAD one for an extended period of time and therefore he still falls under the heading of "the afro always wins." :D

I love Ide too, and while it wasn't disappointing that he agreed to help Light in a narrative sense (I.E., not the fault of you and your writing), I was disappointed that he did in the fact that you'd engaged me that thoroughly into the story. Also, Mogi committing suicide made me sadface =(
