I told you guys it was gonna be like ES21. The 'Winter Cup' was long over and BLUE was just the life support arc designed to milk shit out. The only real difference is Black Panther turned into a tsundere nip girl and got focus from the start instead of coming out of fucking nowhere. Just compare them:
>Both have the most broken inherent talents/specs/etc in their series
>Both had issues with their 'father figure' at the start until coming across MC's gang and learning to assert themselves
>Both respect the MC and that relationship is what fueled growth
>Both end up winning at the end carrying hard
