Kaixa teaming up with Yuji to take out the nuisances... that's pretty much the only reason why Kusaka's on the protagonist's side, he hates humans, but he hates Orphnochs more.

Those two are adorable together.

I brought up Kuroto and Kiriya for Doctor Mighty XX part where they're paired together. I mean for myself I've already written the reason I said no for Kuroto with Kiriya, or just with any other heroes he "sided" with. Which also applies to Takusaka here for me (prefering the harmonic one of Takkiba here compared to the conflict-based Takusaka, yay). I wonder if you get what I'm saying though there because probably that was some bad English.

I think about something like, you asking others why they like Kuuga at the end of the thread as if it's baffling. Also, the preference here, you know, led to the birth of overtop characters.... like Shunpei!
