>>9291550I think Utami doesn't know how to do in-ring storytelling particularly well, although most don't. I also wonder if Saya is straight-up more interesting in the ring than her period. I never see her do anything that wows me.
She shouldn't be overrated like she's a veteran, because she has a long way to go in the ring; most people don't quite get it till late 26 when training from a young age.
Also her character hasn't clicked yet either. One day she's petting fuzzy robot creatures and another day she's suckerpunching her opponent. She's supposed to be this uber cool character but there's inconsistencies in her behavior, presentation, how she carries herself, etc.
I say all that as someone who wants to like her.
