I think you just hit it on the head. First of all, he's someone like
Ukyou. i.e. Past relationship, even thuogh he doesn't remember it. This
makes him more of a threat. Second, he appealed to Akane's honor. This
made it impossible for her to say that she loved Ranma when she *really*
should have. Third, he's come the closest to actually taking Akane away
from Ranma--Ryouga just really isn't in the running, Kuno? yaright, etc.
etc. etc. But Akane nearly let herself get trapped by words.
I personally have no beef with Shin-boy there, if we didn't have him,
we wouldn't have the great story. But those are the reasons I dislike him.
