Nah, Ikki was maybe a little naive here and there, but I think he was actually a pretty strong leader character for his family, after all, the whole point was that he was kind of trying to put on a smiling face to shield his family from outside trauma/demons etc--I'm thinking more along the lines of Gentaro/Fourze or Alto/Zero-One, not that either of those shows were unbearably terrible per se... just for me personally, the main character being a kind of "slapstick"-based dumb ass is painful to endure for 50 episodes... I know that's a beloved trope in Japanese culture though, it shows up all the time in JUMP series...

I just much prefer the kind of "cool"/almost asshole-type main character who's very much aware of what's going on and uses the situation around them to their advantage etc
