@thaeril There's also the bit that we're looking at stylized characters, teenagers look incredibly young as you get older and it's easy to have that wall up in reality when most of em look like kids lol.
Kazuya reminds me a lot of how young teenagers act, too focused on the girl and not enough about themselves. Yeah don't be a selfish jerk n'all that but I think the reason why a lot of folks get so annoyed with the character is because his brain never transitions to something regarding his own...
