Banjou's selfish traits is shown in him complaining when others don't focus to help him clear his name or reverting Tatsuya into Smash to go after Night Rogue.

Those acts from Sento are entirely undermined by the way he treats everyone, especially Ryuga. "I need to show Banjo the way" comes across as really condescending to me, for instance. Maybe it's an issue with my subs or maybe it's a cultural thing, but I am definitely not vibing with the guy.

Meanwhile with Ryuga, sure, I wouldn't say he's a great guy, but alot of his actions and his general thought process are really understandable for the most part. Sento promises to help Ryuga clear his name only to proceed to not actually put any effort towards that. Ryuga's' primary motive is also to avenge his girlfriend and to make sure that no one else suffers as she did, which I'd personally qualify as far more heroic than anyone in the show gives him credit for.

With an ordinary mind, he does not really shine. The letter seemed real to me, but I could have missed something.

I do plan to finish the show, and while I do hope that my criticisms are addressed, I just hope it's not a case of "too little too late."

By the way, is Zi-O being accused of manipulation? He is the most frank with everyone and even his uncle cannot really lie!

Yeah, people are really split on Sogo as a whole, not helped by how the show itself tends to flip-flop on how much of a dark side Sogo actually has. The OOO and Ryuki tributes being the biggest points of contention.
