Actually with how much Ash likes gore in movies he wouldn't mind you enjoying it, as long as you don't tell him that you love Strade, he'd get jealous. But I think he and Ren would get along cuz Ren just wants a friend. They both like anime so I THINK they'd actually get along. Haha imagine Ash hacking into YKMET just to rescue you and Ren from Strade LOL
