That's a big ol' hero move and if the show had swerved away from it, I don't think I'd ever believe in Takeru again. So, I'll follow him for the series. He just comes off a little bland for me. I need some spice to a character that I'm going to watch for 30+ hours.

One of my biggest problems with Takeru is that he's a very reactionary main character. He doesn't really go out and try to solve his problem, he just waits around for the next piece to stumble into his lap. Remember, he burned through his first 99 days in about 20 episodes. That's a ton of time that was spent sitting around not looking for Eyecons.
