Because this was Takahashi who wrote this, this should be in his wheelhouse!

Though given the next special and Outsiders in general... I think Takahashi has a preference on who he likes writing for...

I assume his main story point he was going for was that both Bugster Dan's needed to come to a single conclusion which was toxic love of all things (Like yes, it's love but it feels almost like a parody of it at this point) and they needed someone to let them know about love. Which was basically Gai's role to fulfill even if it doesn't really fit the bill.

Anyway I really love Game Changer and I'm glad it recently got a full release this year!

I figured it was Takahashi without even looking it up, because of all the Ex-Aid stuff.

And it's... yeah, it's so weird that he had Gai so off in this one. If I squint, I can see how there's a story about Gai learning to value power less than the capability to use that power to benefit others, but, man: he was already trying to save Rin from Kuroto. He definitely didn't need to learn that lesson again! Like, in order for there to be a lesson for Gai at the end, he needs to be worse at the start, and this story just forgot to do that? I guess?
