Neat! Thanks!

It would be so easy for this show to just make Terui dismissive of Shotaro, or constantly belittling him. (Basically, making him Cool Makura.) But I much prefer the hard road of making Terui actually a good guy, but one who will always needle Shotaro. It's so much more rewarding to watch Terui when you know that he does respect Shotaro's point of view, but also recognizes that Shotaro is so desperate to look cool that it's fun to tease him.
