Smug, pretentious, unbeatable in a fight, pseudo-philisophical and literaly thinks he's God's gift to Earth, and the story bends over backwards to support that. He's completely unlikable in every way, and that fact that people call him a troll in an endearing way is grievous misuse of the term and utterly befudling. A troll is an ugly, disgusting, lurking thing that only achieves self worth and satisfaction from belittling or enraging others with it's deliberate attempts to cause negative emotions in everyone. Unsympathetic, unrepenting, just vile incarnate. If your main character can be described as such, you have failed on the most basic level of storyteling.

I'm watching through Kabuto and I like Tendou. While everything you say is true, I can't say that it makes me dislike the character. He pulls off that stereotype quite well, to me anyways. Now Sasword, that guy I don't like. He's even worse than Tendou. Though I hear he turns around later on.
