But sincere as well, call it hypocrite all you want but one should not feel ashamed to express what one thinks and sometimes one can't help it but to feel some way about certain characters even if they're similar to others (despite all the coincidental similitudes Tohma and Nanoha are not "THE" same character). Justin is right about context, Nanoha's idealism seemed natural, Tohma's feels kind of ...dumb. I mean yeah, Nanoha was kinda naive as well but it felt more like naivetty and less like genre blindness as if the case with Tohma towards every EC infected he comes across.
Again, context, maybe Nanoha would have looked a lot dumber in a setting like FORCE adn Tohma a lot more natural in a setting like season one.
Altough, to be sincere, i don't think it could be that farfetched that Tohma feels inclined to help the Grendels. After all, they're teenage boys like him and seem more mischievous rather than outright evil (the key word being "seem"), Carter/Kurt specially due to look like a boy around his age. His sympathy to the Huckebeins on the other hand...
