I'm also told he mysteriously leaves halfway through, making his work with Toei a short portfolio, like a dazzling flash of lightning that appears and fades quickly in the night sky.

Oh most definitely. The sheer level of out there that the first half of Blade can reach is the exact thing that kept me hooked, and I was so sad to see it go come the second half. A shame the guy hasn't done much more stuff; He knew how to keep my attention if nothing else.

He's pretty balanced, with respect and admiration for others like Tachibana and Hirose, but doesn't take kindly to having his altruism exploited.

This is not only my favorite aspect of Kenzaki, but also what made him my favorite character in the show. He emphasizes a lesson that I wish alot more protagonists in general did: Be kind, but don't be a sucker.

Did I mention that he claims to have eaten a jigsaw piece out of fear of his girlfriend finishing a puzzle of them together?

He 100% totally ate that puzzle piece and you can't convince me otherwise.
