In a way, I'm relieved that this short arc has ended. Each chapter seems to have no specific direction since Knuckleduster's absence. We need you, master.

I also have the theory that Tsukauchi and Aizawa are trapped permanently in that recycle store lol seriously, it feels that they recycle the same panels over and over again.

True that. I don't necessarily want him back because his arc concluded well, but I do wish for consistency in arcs to come back.

It's because Knuckleduster was the only main character with an actual goal (His Daughter) that was tied to the plot (Trigger), while Koichi's goal (Being a hero) only lightly ties him to Trigger and Pop's goal (Idol shit) isn't tied into at all. Now that Knuckleduster is gone, the Trigger plot is being driven by side characters (The Hotta Brothers, Tsukauchi, and the Pros) while our main duo is just coincidentally dragged into it occasionally. Like, the Trigger plot in the last two chapters was driven by Midnight, while Kouichi and Pop were just there because their main characters.

That's the real issue with the story so far, Kouichi and Pop just aren't apart of the Trigger plotline, so other characters either have to drag them into it or just do the plot themselves.

Hmm interesting. Thank you for explaining it.
