>>39689203A good writer wouldn't need to hold a character hostage in order to gather attention for a story arc unless it had a big importance to the plot. What Kusaka did was just put Black into a shitty plot device, remove White and pretty much everyone in BW from the entire arc until he felt like connecting the plots (and by that I mean, not really), and suddenly try to damage control the situation with forced romance after realizing how stupid this whole idea was.
>>39689241You're not in any right to talk about "interesting protagonists" when you promote garbage concepts ripped straight out of other anime. And I know you won't be able to defend Lack-Two, since all you care about is making Ash and the anime look inferior through baseless statements.
