Nine episodes away from Kuuga's end, so here is a rant about Godai by me:

He's a Gary Stu and I just find that really boring.

I guess and at a push, he could have smiled his way through and enjoyed his new powers when he first got them at the beginning but you would think that when he died, he would have shown some kind of character growth or change and would start to take his battle more seriously.

But nope he's back to being gormless and goofy and now the plot is about Godai losing control of his powers but if you see him out of action scenes it's hard to imagine it's the same person in them. I mean it's never been easy in the first place but now seeing Kuuga battle with self control to the next scene Godai throwing his thumb at people like nothing happened is just annoying.

You could literally cut out all the fight footage and the show wouldn't suffer because they are basically clips for another show entirely slotted in anyway, for all the reaction and response Godai shows to his battles. Even when he gets really bad injuries they've already healed by the next scene and he just carries on. And sometimes the stuff he says and does actually actively contradicts everything in the fights, as if both the writers and actors hadn't actually seen that portion of the show.

I mean he's not unlikeable and he doesn't plow his way through every battle but I want to see more reaction from Godai, even though it is a little late to ask. A big core of the series is exploring his powers but we seem to explore the powers more from the side characters than we do from Godai himself. Honestly with him going around and being perfect at everything we have basically no personal insight to him at all by this point. Our protagonist doesn't actually feel like our protagonist.

And people tell me Haruto is boring.
