Sho's Relationships

==Raiden==
Raiden is Sho's younger sibling and best friend for most of his time in SAO and later in the real world. Very similar in some aspects, Raiden and Sho really bonded when they played video games together. Unlike Kuzon, the youngest and most social of the Shin brothers, Raiden and Sho would often skip social outings just to play the latest PC or station game. They always played games together. MMORPGs, FPSs, RTSs, and every genre in between. The two brothers created the ultimate team. One was the tank and the other was the damage dealer. That was their usual combo. Sometimes they would switch it up, both being heavy damage dealers. In every game they played, they made a big splash in the game's community. Everyone knew the Shin brothers. They were pretty famous, but the limelight was placed more on Raiden. Luckily for the two, this didn't put a damper on their relationship. Instead, it seemed to increase it. Sho become much more protective and caring to his younger sibling. They now had something in common. Together, they bonded through video games and the virtual world.
When SAO started, Sho become even more protective towards Raiden. He was almost always around his brother. The two never separated for more than a few hours. Even if they did, Sho always kept an eye on his brother's health and location. If Raiden looked like he was in a bad position (and to Sho that meant at 80% health), Sho would immediately break off and leave whoever he was with. In the death game, he was the most overprotective brother ever. He did everything to ensure his brother's safety, no matter what the resulting cost was. It didn't matter if he got hurt or if others got hurt. As long as Raiden was okay, Sho was fine. That was the bottom line of it. Raiden had to live. He had to live or Sho would blame it on himself.
