I'll be the first to jump in defense of Gaim as a series.I think it's great and it's heading in the right direction.That being said,Hase was used as a plot point.

I liked Hase.Heck I thought if he had character building before this whole story where he got ditched and died,I would've actually felt bad for his death,but Locke is right.The only time Hase got any kind of character building was right before his death.

That to me is cheap.Hase was used more as a point of "If humans eat the fruit,this is what happens" instead of making us care about him.They literally took the least popular rider and sacrificed him.

Does it suck Hase died? Yeah,I wish he would have survived and found a way to become Kurokage again.Did they use his death as a plot point instead of character building? Yeah,they certainly did.

I love this series.Everything about it.The goofiness,the serious plot points,the character building,everything.This was the first flaw I found,and before you say it isn't,how many character building episodes did Hase have before his death?
