And again the Ash Ketchum arguement comes up. Seriously, watch XY....he is much better now. -.-;

And I agree with Writer here: He is bland. At this point, if he becomes corrupted due to Darkness Dragon World, it would just be even more friendship stuff mushed together. So I am actually fearing that option now, more than I looked forward to it being possible.

The fact that Gao is a professional from the get-go is a HUGE disadvantage for him as the main character.

The best development Gao got in 32 Episodes....is his fight with Genma, when they bring up Yota and his comics, and life before they started Buddyfighting....and that actually helped Genma's character more than Gao.

I don't know what we can do to push Gao in the right direction at this point...in Vanguard, we have Kai going back to original Kagero (His Legion scene is pretty much what we should see Kai doing in every fight..), Aichi is going back to Royal Paladin in the new movie (HUGE boon to me), Ren has shown to have changed after the events of season 1....but, we have no standing point for Gao to return to....or reach......

Any ideas? How can they make Gao interesting enough to watch...really?
