His arc is so core to the themes of that show and he brings out so much great in the other characters, whether it's something as silly as arguing English pronunciation with Yakumo, or as serious as Yoshitaka's failings as a mentor. Kinji very much "completes" Ninninger as a show.

I completely agree; though I'd be remiss to not mention my favourite part is his relationship with the main villain and how they parallel each other. The main villain is my favourite part of Ninninger (Kinji being the second favourite) and this is very much the cornerstone
