User blog:Lady Pisces/Genma as a better father figure/friend for Shido

I know that this is going to sound weird coming from me but I've had this thought for a while and just figured I'd share it. With all that's is happening to Shido in BF 100, I personaly feel he's been punished enough.

Genma is the only character on the show who tells Shido the truth about himself and points out the problems with his behavior well before they almost get him killed, telling him what he needs to hear which really gets Shido annoyed because he's used to being told by his father that he is perfect in every way. Genma is unfazed by Shido's nonsense and makes him answer for his misdeeds because he has been lead to believe for far to long that he can say and do what ever he wants to people without fear of punishment. During his fight as Captain Answer Genma easily could have socked Shido across the jaw but instead he (literaly) tries to slap some sense into him, to get him to wake up and relise if he is ever going to have real friends and respect he needs to grow up and stop acting like a spoiled entitled brat. Before this though Genma says something very interesting that smacking Shido is going to hurt him more than Shido reciving it. While funny in retrospect Genma was holding back, clearly he didn't want to hurt him when he very easily could have done some serious damage.

Shido's father on the other hand basicly encouraged his son to be a delinquent, allowed him to use a dangerous power which put him in harm's way many times over and has clearly coddled and babied his son to the point where Shido is a laughing stock who is mocked and scorned by absolutely everyone who will never take him seriously.

Makes one wonder why Genma should care so much even after all that Shido has done to him last season, maybe he feels deep down that Shido still has a chance to change for the better? If Shido was to turn to the good side it would make more sense for him to join Genma's group since he is the reason why Shido is still among the living when many others were all too happy to let him drop to his death without a second glance.

Just a thought.
