>>3807135Wanna elaborate on that? Was it the female love interest, the acting like a 15-year-old with an inferiority complex, the daddy issues? I can't really blame him for getting dragged off by wormholes or bullied by his sister since there's other characters driving those and presumably there's meant to be pay off on that. He's been surrounded by guys with ridiculous powers and all he has is feeling bad and feeling worse with a side of kendo and archery. I love the series and can list no fun downers about everyone, but Hisoka's suffering really has a point. Wakaba aside everyone else gets to live their eternal afterlife as an adult* and with magic powers, and until Tatsumi and Watari identify how much snake dong was involved in Hisoka's conception he's just a vulnerable child. He's the closest to the people they're supposed to be protecting or bringing over and a constant reminder to Tsuzuki that he has responsibilities and can make a difference to other people. You can't just pep talk Tsuzuki out of a coma, you have to be stubborn and demonstrate his value and Hisoka is the first one really succeeding at that. Enma chose him for a reason but before that Matsushita designed him as an anchor.
*(which is cool and I wish more shoujo for a teen demographic didn't feel the need to be majority teen casts because it stifles settings and kids really don't care as long as it's fun but fuck this got too long and ruined my sentence)
