Not every episode mind you, it isn’t as bad as Super-1’s second half, but it is noticeably different. And I put "problem" in exclamation marks on purpose because Black is super fun all around. Some little kids jumping around isn’t really changing that, plus, Black is still allowed to have focused episodes of his own. He isn’t permanently degraded to a secondary role. Like poor Super-1 was. God, I’m still not over that.

I've certainly heard Things about Super-1! And if that's the shift for Black, hey, I'm all for it -- I was pretty good with Aruto taking the backseat in Zero-One and I'd be very interested to see something similar happen with another protagonist!
