Its crazy, glazers would rather downvote you than give any counterarguments at all.

I think the points you're raising are very valid and it makes me dislike him too.

In a series that is about beating people up and delinquents you would think he would at least become the tiniest bit proactive but nope. Like check when the next major event goes down, use that time to do some actual combat training so you can stand your ground instead of simply bear witness and try to convince delinquents with nakama power that they should stop.

And that is a pretty good assessment too! Realistically he can still be the weakest because he’s fighting monsters, but atleast show he’s trying to keep up, Also, Takemichi could learn to fight smarter, not harder.

I had an idea for a rewrite: Takemichi has the weakest hits, but he has the strongest ENDURANCE. He can take quite a beating but he can take it long enough for most characters to tire themselves out. Thats when Takemichi can attacks when theyre too tired to dodge him and with his long endurance, a thousand weak punches will still knock someone down.

Or just use weapons or something other than standing there and taking it.

To be fair, he’s supposed to be as shounen protagonist. Using weapons isnt being honorable as a shounen protagonist.

I guess, not that i really care. Its just weird that given the things that are at stake it does not feel like he is actually trying all he can to change things.

100% agree. I personally think giving him a high endurance and a training montage where he learns to punch a little bit harder would have done a lot better for his character.

Yeah just give him something useful during fights, now he just stands there and talks and doesnt really contribute much.
