Suzui is the definition plot device and is only there so the weebs watching don't feel left out
Change my mind
Why is he a protag?
Liam Ward
Carter Scott
Didnt the main chick go with the silver haired dude with glasses?
Ayden Watson
Are all "psychological" anime this ridiculous? That, there are one-dimensional characters like a villian-of-the-week shounen shit
Benjamin Robinson
Ever since seeing the show, I thought he should be deleted. Replace any consequential roles he had in actual games with Mary, most of the rest was just exposition. Could have done the rest about a dozen different ways if the audience needed the info.
Carson Smith
i would like to know if the blondie is in love with him.
Jace Roberts
I haven't seen these other ones, but i like the art style from the jump, they should totally make a promotional thingy where suzui gets cucked by either of these characters, it would be a fun way to promote a new season of Kaiji
Ian Parker
Well yeah he's the audience surrogate. He's the most normal one in the cast.
James Price
Yup
Bentley Morgan
That's a secondary female characters(which is still more entertaining than him)
Alexander Allen
I get that, but why make him so irrelevant, but then, out of nowhere he gotta come along or be made important? Even that ass pull for making him needed the final ep was pointless as hell and made no sense
Charles Anderson
Not all, but most of them end up being incredibly shallow and just plain ridiculous while trying to make these deep assertions about society and human behaviour
Jason Jones
>complaining about high iq autistic behavior which is realistic
Hello retard, Yea Forums is more to your level.

I'm pretty sure that ending was anime original because they didn't have enough time to adapt the next arc. I'm not 100% sure because I dropped the manga after that arc was finished so it's possible they took it from later in the manga.

> He gets his debt paid off by Yumeko, shrugs it off because she's a weird character and he's clearly oil to her water
> Next day yumeko sees Mary being bullied for becoming a pet
> Yumeko doesn't like those rules very much and wants to forgive Mary's debt because she made her have so much fun by making Suzui help her cheat, which is still in character
> Mary has a grudge over Yumeko so she doesn't wanna hear anything she has to say
> Mary becomes a small plot-device for the first eps, bets with council members to try and pay her debt, fails, accidentally introduces her to the first two council members
> that makes her growing debt seem much more natural and so is her growing disdain for this system
> It makes her becoming trustworthy of Yumeko in the 4 and 5 ep more logical
> Nanami joins the party after Yumeko gives the strength to overcome her learnt helplessness and we have a normal character that can still snap and it will actually make sense because of her background story(which she actually has, unlike fucking Suzui)
> As it's in character, Yumeko asks Mary for some of the money she helped her win to pay of Nanami's debt, episode 4 shows Suzui was able to get 1 million in what seemed likes less than a week while his debt as only 5 million, so he could very easily pay off his debt in less than a month, Nanami had a debt of 20 million and is kinda implied it's a long standing debt
> Also, we could have Nanami having different hairstyles as her hair grew back
> which adds up as a creative way to tell passage of time
The only reason why Suzui is here is so people don't think this is a CLAMP wannabe shoujo

Currently he doesn't even have screen time. Now that I think about it, the male characters are not too many, actually. Rin and Ibara didn't impress me neither as a character nor as a player. Glasses boy is the only competent male character right now, by the way he is the only character who really defeated Yumeko, who then could only counter because the president girl forced things in order that Yumeko had extra cash to get back into the game.
If at least "the protagonist" was a growing player, he didn't play either.

Meari-Ririka best couple.

muh

And the romance between him and Yumeko is non-existent, so like...WHY YOU HERE! WHY IS HE THERE. Since the author likes the lesbian undertones so much, just make it a an all female protag series then. Or were they too scared they wouldn't be able to get so much attention and a adapt because some homophobes here in the west would bOyCoTt it like they always do? Legit, that's the only reason i can think of besides just they being bad writers and needing some self insert to get the ladies while being a such fucking wood board
Hunter Martin
>Why is he a protag?
I don't think you know what that word means.
Tyler Cruz
You're right. Venture bros has better character depth with psychological elements, and on the occasion where there is a villain of the week, it is far better than most psych/shounen shit
David Fisher
bitch is stealing his food
Easton Collins
I think they mean this sequence. And not exactly. People sort of forget because there's not a lot of male characters on the "protagonist" side, but Yumeko is just kind of a gambling slut. She's like that with fucking everyone. It just happens that most of the other characters are girls, so people don't get as bent out of shape about it.
On the subject of the actual thread topic, they've done some amount of development, which is Suzui slowly beginning to get drawn into Yumeko's crazy bullshit. And there might be something entertaining there if he every really fucking loses it chasing after Yumeko. But he's honestly not around much. The real reason he's there is related to why that shark girl webcomic got changed to be from some rando, everyday high school boy character in its published release. Because it's more marketable to certain markets to have an everyday high school boy character as the ostensible perspective character.
Nolan Smith
>>plot device
That's flattering him, he's the Watson to Yumeko's Sherlock - he's only there to provide some straightman moments and play-by-play commentaries
