It's more about this... There are multiple moments in the story when Battler is essentially dormant and doing absolutely nothing. Like Renall just said, he isn't in a position to do anything anyway because for much of the time he's doing nothing interesting with the other cousins, and it's so uninteresting that we don't see it on screen at all. This starts being particularly prominent Ep3 onwards, though even in Ep1 there are still long periods when his activities remain not well defined.

What if something interesting does happen to him and the cousins during those periods and we just don't get told?
