I didnt put all the blame on him. I blame the sniper as well for not following orders, i have no clue what the mechanic was doing and felli well we went over that. I would not doubt that people would rest their hopes on him in the future. When you are born with a strong power there are rarely many options for you other than to use that power to help others. Many animes have shown that characters cause more damage when they run away from their powers usually others suffer. Considering this is Shonnen i expect it to follow the basic formula. I have doubt that Lyfon will experience more hardships and fair bit of unfairness in the future.

So far Layfon has a good heart with him ignoring Felli's wishes and went saving Nina. Hopefully he'll remain that way in the future haha. |

You know, it is equally selfish to say "you have the power, now go use it for my ends". He was unfairly dragged in to a situation he didn't want to be in, and now is expected to show enthusiasm ? Why ? Because someone else said he should ? Nina doesn't care about what he thinks at all - all she is interested, to put it bluntly, is dragging some new meat on the field and make it meet her expectations, said person's feelings on the matter be damned. Neither she, nor anyone else, is entitled to his powers just on the notion he has them - they are not public property, despite how much someone might want it so. "but he should have helped his teammates!" ? Why for, considering said teammates have only shown blunt disregard of his opinion on being in said team in the first place ?

At least the girl who kissed Layfon doesnt care about his powers but who he is in person ^^ yet Layfon choice had not changed besides getting separete from that girl..... he left that city becouse he didnt wanted to fight and full of hope for new life went to another city where he ended in the same situation... he needs to fight becouse someone told him to.....
Layfon could simply pack his stuff and return back where at least other people are not mad at him for showing his full power XD and as a bonus love is waiting for him ^^ Now Layfon will be put under huge burden becouse people know his powers and will except more and more from him like a toy for their own purposes.... Layfon can simply rebel... give me a break or I will leave this town and go back where he came from ^^ and you people work hard to win your match next time...see ya ^^ Now that Layfon showed his power he is the most popular guy there... so even that girl Micchi will have hard time XD so many rivals..... but I wonder if Layfon has any feelings for that girl who kissed him at the beggining ^^ |

Ideally, he should have let her be beaten by the 3 guys, and stuck to the plan of running to the unguarded flag while they were concentrated on her. This would have solved the whole issue of him releasing his powers as well, since he wouldn't have revealed himself, and neither Felli or Nina would be mad at him, and he wouldn't have wholly fallen into the President's manipulations. And in a sense, there's no reason he would be expected to give it his all in the contest. As they mentioned, he probably did think of this as just a game, and probably wasn't mature enough to understand the fact that ultimately the fate of all those people living in that city is at stake. This is surely a naive and irresponsible perspective, but then again, it's not like he was given any time or choice to actually consider that for himself. |

In a way I inserted my own personality into the mix. Im one for jumping into the fray hell iv jumped into fights to help out a person i didnt even know just because the fight was 3 on 1. Things are looking interesting though im especially interested in the cute girl who left him a bento and how she will affect him.

Part of the reason I like the show so far is that none of the people seem entirely one-sided. The President seems like an evil manipulative sob at first, but he seems to really care for the well-being of the city. That other team's captain seems harsh towards Nina, but we never got the impression he was simply bullying her or taking advantage of his strength. |

Although, from my perspective, he didn't really seem to be doing that badly...I mean...everyone was saying how indifferent he was...but it's not like he had a clear shot when they were neck-to-neck in melee combat...and he did take the clear shot that he did get (taking out that axe guy)... |

Come to think of it in ep 2 concerning Felli and Nina,
- Say that he looses, he might've made Felli happy or any of that but in return he would've had a badly beaten Nina. Fail. - He wins magnificently using his uber power, which eventually happens, while basically gaining attention from the whole Academy, but in return getting hated by Nina for holding back this whole time, and Felli for breaking their 'promise. Fail. Layfon is pretty much in a tight and lose-lose situation. |

He does understand the precarious position of the school-city, which was why he reluctantly agreed to transfer to the combat division in the first place. And even if he hadn't shown anything in this battle, he would've fought for real in the actual tournament. It was actually Nina who was irresponsible by treating it as far more important than it should be. |

i hope layfon is the top dog in the academy and city
also i think thier will be a light tone of romance in this anime but wont be huge. Maybe the one girl that kissed him in the first episode is his love interest but who knows it could be his sister to also so these city vs city fights are like for training or something. I thought the citues were fighting bugs or something man cant wait for episode 3 |
