So far it looks like hes Superman but we havent even seen all the abilities from some of the characters shown in episode 1. Although hes strong theres nothing to say there arent others just as strong or stronger in the city. Most of the reaction was due to the fact that besides the president and his sister everyone was 100% sure he was an average guy if not a bit weaker. If a guy next to you just punched through a brick wall youd go holy shit too. Also whoever talk about how weak the city was compared to Grendan im guessing thats due to anyone who is strong is only there for 6 years then moves whereas in Grendan the "bird in a cage" analogy holds true and anyone they find that is super strong stays.

I don't get why so many ppl feel hard to understand why Felli sends info. about Nina to Layfon and at same time she is angered because he takes actions.
The reason she inform Layfon is the same with the reason why she never fake info. to her teammates. She draws a line here that she uses as much power as an average nen-i controller possesses. She does her job as good as she can under that power cap, making anyone think that is the best they can ask from her. The rule of that mock battle is that platoon 17 would lose if Nina is beaten, it's her duty to inform rest of the platoon about Nina's condition, and it's within her power to fulfill that duty. Not informing, it's her fault if they lose, and she would be questioned. Above is why I think she informs Layfon. She expects Layfon does what he has done in his fight with Nina. She expects him to do I-knew-you-were-in-trouble-but-I-was-too-far-away-so-I-couldn't-come-to-help.

Hmm I kinda agree its too early judging that Layfon's the only top dog in Zenri, I mean we haven't seen all the rest of Zenri City's squads in action yet so we have to wait and see. But nevertheless, the head Military Arts dude looked amazed at Layfon's display of strength, thats gotta mean something i.e 'zomg the guy's broken' and Layfon also beat the 16th Platoon who manage to get close to other city's opposition flag years earlier without breaking a sweat.

During the opening ceremony in ep 1,there were two ppl (one of it was a student from Military Arts) that seems to know about Layfon's real name,which might hinted that those same person may knew about Layfon's true identity.But so far i think that Layfon MIGHT be the strongest among all the students in Zuellni (according to the name written on their badge) city.
Spoiler for Might be a spoiler...who knows.:
Anyway as for the character naming,i kinda amused that there are so many versions of the character's name,like for example,レイフォン・アルセイフ (reifon aruseifu) becomes Rayfon,Leifon,Layfon..while フェリ・ロス (feri rosu) becomes Fellie,Felli,Feri,and even Fairy/Fairie.Not even the main site put the western romanization of the name..but i guess i prefer Layfon and Fairy (coz she really looks like a fairy). |

I understand that Layfon was forced and tricked into the situation that hes in now. I sympathize with him greatly because he just wanted a normal school life. But things dont always go as planned and what separates men from the boys is how coup and adapt to your situation.
But his actions during the fight pissed me the hell off. Just because you dont want to be there does not mean you put your comrades at risk because it doesnt interest you. "Its ok to lose" NO its not ok to lose because your comrades are working their assess off to win but you held back. The battle could have ended quickly and Nina might have taken less damage. You dont prolong a battle it only leads to more casualties and only when Felli shared her thoughts and it looked like she was going to be taken out did he act. I honestly think Felli and Nina have every right to be pissed off at Layfon. He needs to understand the situation that hes in NOW not whine about what he does not want to do. The reality is he is in the military arts program and from what i see there is no way out. If he wants to feel dejected about him situation so be in but in battle he better fight to his fullest and move his ass. Felli words "Traitor" were harsh but i felt accurately described what she was feeling. Good episode although the fight music once again makes me want to tear my ears off and set them a blaze to protect my high brain functions from degrading from those high pitched repetitive synthesizer notes.

Basically he's being hated by Felli for using his powers to save Nina but ended up also getting hated by her because he hid his powers from the first place, just because he wanted a normal life. |

Except Felli called him a traitor exactly because he used his powers to win the fight Felli is in the same boat as him - her powers are supposedly also off the charts, but she is holding herself back, just like Layfon did. She called him a traitor because he used his powers and thus breaking what she perceived as their "silent agreement" of not doing so. She indeed feels "betrayed", but for quite the opposite reasons

As for that particular fight, his logic was that because it wasn't a "real" fight, as there was supposedly nothing on the line, there was no reason for him to actually fight for real. |

I bet the way they designs Nina is also intended to be a service too. While Mei was meant to be service in characterization (generic moe ftw). |

Even if hes reluctant in the new role that has been forced on him ( i cant blame him) not trying your hardest while you are watching someone get beaten while she is trying her hardest is wrong. Even if i didnt want to be there and i hated the situation i wont sit by and watch someone take on 3 to 4 people while being half assessed about my approach. I do think Lyfon is a good guy and its unfortunet whats happen to him i do feel sorry for him and im sure his character will blossom with time. But in this one particular case Felli should not have had to relay Nina's thoughts to get him to try harder it should be a given in the situation thats my take on it. Thanks for clearing up Felli's message Skyfall i understand it a bit better now. I see how in some cases great power can become a great burden i misinterpreted her words. But my position on Layfons actions stands.

It's sad that I think in the future people would put all the burden in Layfon's hands just because he has exceptional powers. If there are any mistakes just because he's the strongest he's gonna get all the blame. |

Well, there's two typical type of "hero", a weak ass that always fails to do anything but get compliment from girls for "trying his best' and one that is uber strong and do almost everything but always blamed for "you are not trying"
But Layfon did show that himself comes after his woman being harassed. And he went super Saiyan just because he was worried. |
