he already had hard time dealing with others or making friends and for the first time he got close to Yahiro. He got back stabbed >.> he will probably won't trust others that much after this event and if he still easily trust others than that's plain stupid or martyr.
Even if Shu is portrayed more humanely or a human in the story. I still can't believe he can sit around and act like he didn't kill someone at the end of episode 2. And in episode 3 his trying to forget it at all and act like it never happen but bad luck for him. Someone witness that scene and it's from his school. Karma for escaping like his not part of it? Bear your sins and carry it with you and don't act like it never happen! and don't trust pretty face

Depends on how you look at it. He just launched a shield....that happens to reflect attacks back . Really it was a dumb move to start shooting when he had missiles pointed at him. He was dead anyways. Just this way Gai didn't die with him. See easy enough for Shu to rationalize that it wasn't his fault . Besides hard to feel guilty about the death of a guy who has people lined up and executed. Hard to say if the series will focus much on launching that shield rather than the fact that he has the power to take action and if his identity is found out there won't be any going back.

Also, why would they bother showing us this if it wasn't meant to hint at what his personality is like?: Spoiler for space:

It tells me he's a colorful sadist. As anime antagonists go, he's no big deal.
Blondie in Episode 2... Yes, he was over-the-top, I admit. But I don't see any big deal about the Interrogator. I really think that some people are blowing him out of proportion. For example, that was the absolute most creepy-looking screenshot you could have picked for him (and he looks like it in that screenshot in large part to simply give the Episode 3 cliffhanger added "Oomph!" and embellishing things a bit for added visceral effect is perfectly legit). He looks much more normal in other screenshots. It's not like he constantly wears mania on his sleeve (so far, at least). Quote:
The GHQ Supreme Commander in Episode 1 came across as fairly "grey" to me.

I am the only one who thinks Shu is unrealistic?
Ok, he is 17, whines about not having friends or not be able to fit in, fine I give him that. However he obviously does have at least one friend, the girl with him on the train, in the first episode, but he seems to be is a bit picky about choice of friends. But the main issue is he doesn't care about killing people or the consequences of his involvement during the "terrorists attack". Other odd thing is, he is more concerned about finding a way to explain to his mom why a girl is staying at their home, but the death that he cause, why even bother telling mom. If we put everything together he has the perfect blueprint for a psychopath. Personally I don't take any of these characters serious, this series is like a blockbuster movie, with surface characters, which are entertaining to watch but when you start scratching the surface, you will kind of regret it, and spoil the fun. |

We should count some one as realistic too if he is not fully trusting most of the people. Many Japanese are also pretty suspicious.
It might be a strong point of Shuu when he did not end up joining the Undertaker blindly. He started to believe in Yahiro more only after he thought he had his secret, and it should always be working... |

Yuichi (Kanon/Kanon 2006 (TV)) Tomoya (Clannad/ Clannad (TV), Clannad After Story (TV)) Zwei (Phantom of the Inferno/ Requiem of the Phantom (TV) ): no one except Ein tops Zwei in the badass dept And..these franchises and MCs definitely haven't failed. That character type is like a personification of otaku. Someone who is angsty,doesn't want to get involved but ultimately finds his place and succeeds. Also, if you look at Persona 4 this way, it is similar. Otaku are pretty much at ground zero like Yu but he develops friends and interact and his stats improve and he becomes a better and cooler person. Quote:

Imo , currently , the characters aren't interestings. Sometimes i'm telling why those kind of ML have parents with such a great unbelievable job.
And someone can tell me if Inori will be more lively than a robot doll ? Well , things can be interestings after this episode. |

Inori is made that way so as the story develops. Her character develops too. Just like what the other say. She is like a blank slate that develops and have more emotion. Just like Nagato the most typical one.
Right now Inori doesn't think for herself and too dependent onto others or more like Shu but that's because Gai orders so. She is adamant in her mission and doing her job right that she doesn't even complain even if the order is absurd. She also likes to cling to Shu because besides that Gai orders so. Shu needs her and it might bring her value. That's why when Shu finally said Inori's name, she stop and follow Shu on not shooting Yahiro. For now I don't have problem with other cast other than Shu. He is too real for me in a sense that it's kinda irritating when I see him that way. Though some of his flaws is being to naive but can also be a good point for him but a fatal flaw in the war. I hate his personality that turning a blind eye on things happening even though his already involve and he has the power to make a change. Plus he already did the first step when he agree to help Gai in episode 2 but still he denied it and go back to his ordinary life. It might be good because he doesn't want his life to be endangered but he still killed someone and that won't change even if he tried to forget it.

I take issue with that last one. Zwei had very good reason to be angsty and an even better reason to get over it quickly. I don't have a problem with Shu's character type, it is pretty common in the real world, but I have a problem with how stories in general feel the need to change these people into something they aren't. But happens in every culture because the idea seems to resonate with the average person. It can be done well, but you've got to have a believable impetus and time frame for the change. I will be watching to see if Shu's change is well executed.
