Main characters are on-screen far more often than Satsuki has been, taking the anime as a whole.
Ryuko is the main character of this show.
One thing I don't get about many of my fellow anime fans is their insistence on treating "main character" as some sort of award that ought to be honored to their favorite character, no matter how much (or little) narrative sense it makes to apply that term to their favorite character.
"Main character" is just a classification. It just tells us who the plot is primarily focused on. That's all it says. It's no great award. It doesn't mean "best character" or "coolest character" or "character you have to care about the most". It's perfectly fine if your favorite character is not the main character.
