Yeah it's weird, so many really important events happened over the course of 1-3 chapters, yet we've been watching this one strong dipshit flail around for, what, 20?
Edit: was curious so I went to check, it's actually only been 11 but it feels like forever. Still, that means nearly 10% of the entire series so far has been spent with this dumb fucker. He'd better wind up somehow being insanely important.
