Well, Mai isn't exactly a "bad" character per se. She had her contributions to the plot. If she was not there, the plot would have been different. We could have not seen how deranged Micchy could be. We could have not seen how far Kaito would go to obtain the Golden Fruit. Heck, we might have not seen Kouta become Gaim if it isn't because of her. We may have not seen Bujin Gaim as well like the above statement said. I could say she was...a catalyst? I could be wrong tho. Wasn't the tree inside located at their former shrine that became Yggdrasill after? Wasn't she also the shrine maiden for the said place?

imho Mai is one of the more useful female leads we've had so far in the franchise, if not one of the best female leads. tbh, should there be a bad female lead, that should be Yui from Ryuki. That's another topic tho.


Juuuust my two cents.
