Fucking hell, Nomoto is such a giant fucking waste of space. I get that he's supposed to be the audience surrogate but we don't need one. He's been nothing but absolutely useless since the manga began.
we're supposed to believe that nomoto, a guy who's character trait was not knowing anything, has become a master of hybrid competition scouting in 2 years?
fuck off
you know, i was kinda hoping expecting Nomoto was going to survive by being turned into a hybrid. maybe it would be by Ratel's and Shido's rivals who would then pit him against her, making her deal with the relief of knowing he's still alive and the pain of knowing he now wants to return the favor. I was so ready for Punished Nomoto, but he's still the same doofus he was in the first volume.
"Why did the everyman character need to be killed?" was the most interesting Nomoto-facing plot point that made his post mortem character more interesting.
The death didn't stick.
Well, at least this series is still good ol' shlocky bloodsport.
