When I first heard of the Shanshu Prophecy, my opinion was pretty much the same as what I assume most Bangel Fans were thinking - yay!! Finally a way for them to be together, without any of Angel's break-up excuses. And of course, I was assuming it'd happen well within Buffy's lifetime.
Then I rewatched IWRY and that made me think. Wouldn't Angel – Jäger der Finsternis turn down the Shanshu, if he could, like he eventually turned down being human in that episode? The reasons still stand, unfortunately.
Then I got a new idea. I'm still not sure if I like it oder not. My opinion tends to vary.
What if, when Angel – Jäger der Finsternis Shanshus, he becomes like Connor? Technically human, but still retaining the strength, the speed, the healing. He'd be able to fight then. I know some people have pointed out that normal humans do fight, e.g. Gunn, Xander. But I think Angel – Jäger der Finsternis would have gotten too used to his current strengths.
