Actually, Inoue's stuff can play out like where it plays off negativity as the norm that characters bounce off of on a regular basis, it's not treating positivity as something we should strive for and share, and pushing it to the side to let grayness take center stage. At least to others, when comparing his work to other work where there's much negativity, in this case, Ryuki to Faiz.

As a product of different writer (Inoue did write a few in the main, but not a primary writer), it happens and in no small scale. First, Blade didn't become an Undead, so if Kenzaki sealed Hajime, the Albino Joker would've won due to the nature of the Sealing Stone, as well as the fact that he would've been the last remaining Undead by default? Second, Spider Undead is sealed in the same manner that lead to the creation of the "improperly sealed" card, yet Leagle is never possessed by said Undead. Third, Shima?? He acts more like regular monster, also Girafa (Kanai) as well, acting like regular monster instead of a higher up.

Though the one in movie, it's actually unhealthy coping mechanisms (in this case, projecting their issues to others, escapism, becoming actual criminal and delinquent) to cope with problems when the problem become too difficult for them to handle alone. There are quite many cases of jerkasses and/or anti-heroes resorting to unhealthy coping mechanisms when they meet with a challenge too huge to overcome. Unhealthy coping mechanism is not to be ignored and treat as if it’s perfectly okay. It should be acknowledged that those characters made a mistake in using those coping mechanisms, and at the same time, extend some understanding to them. Kenzaki points out that as an adult, you should be mindful of the other's feelings. You know you actually had one of your stores looted last night.

Not them being posted in credits, but actual name calling in the show, everything gets this treatment on Blade at least iirc. Hirose for both Shiori and Yoshito is a problem yeah (and I joked about that before), but the others that you still relegated with nicknames are all already called by name (well, for fun of this thread it's your call, but gotta correct saying they aren't refered by names though). Like Isaka, SAYOKOOOOO (this one..), Trial B, Kaimioka, etc.

Ah, my other point was also written there: comedy isn't necessarily about over the top stuff like phase 2 has, like there characters are extremely exaggerated and openly animated in traits, where phase 1 is more grounded, like the "headquarters" such as Kotaro's house compared to CR.
