@CocoJaypee her gimmick is just martial arts, that's all, which is the weakest in the series and there's nothing more you can do with that. more sure what kinda poorly written power creep you're expecting on her.
are you mentally ill? please seek help, desperately. lu doesn't have nearly as much focus as shin.

Weakest in the series???? Again, that all boils down to good writing, and in this case, her character is just an example of wasted potential

it all boils down to your ignorance and lack of desire to have good female characters in this show
| @CocoJaypee it boils down to your agendas getting thrown out the window boohoo. all the other female characters yet to show up in the show are better than her, but your uneducated ass is speaking on the cast based off a few episodes lol actual skill issue. |

"Better than her"
So you agree, Lu has been written badly and should've been developed more?
You don't find it weird that other female side characters that were introduced later on have been developed better than the one who has been part of the main cast since the start of the show?
Okay
| @CocoJaypee nah i don't think we need to see more of her, i'd rather see the others more. what's weird is that you've never seen this happen before, watch more anime. lu never had much potential and she was used to the best of what little she had, only enough to be a side character. |

Well that's it. You just admitted that you were biased against Lu from the start and never wanted anything more from her
On the contrary, I want something more out of her being the only female fighter in Sakamoto's group so far and you're over here acting as if that's a bad thing
| @CocoJaypee nothing to be biased against, her ceiling was just short. it's not about what i want or don't, i'm looking at things objectively. i don't care about her being the only female fighter, like i said, being male or female is irrelevant and only her potential as a character matters to me. take that crying over gender representation bs back to twitter. |

nope, i dont want to hear anything more from someone who just settles for poorly written female characters in a target market that has long been criticized for underutilizing female characters
| @CocoJaypee nah, just that everyone with enough braincells don't care about her being the only female fighter in the group, you're challenged and you know it, and no one wants to do that female power fantasy representation bs for you here boohoo. |

I can’t believe you read and responded to my comment, didn’t expect that. 😂
All the other characters are “side charterers”, they are not the main character.
Will you just honestly admit that you just like Lu, so you want her to have more front time in the anime.
CocoJaypee said:
Side character yet she tags along on every scene so far...
Gurl Nagumo is a side character, Lu is not. At least, for these first few arcs
Does this mean Shin is a side character as well? If so, how come he gets more fleshed out when Lu also has some decent fighting capabilities?
As for Aoi and Hana, they are not fighters, so it's only logical that they're going to be sidelined in the fight scenes because they wont contribute anything
But Lu can so how come she isn't getting highlighted

Yes I honestly like Lu and would love for the story to utilize her more, is that a problem?
If all the characters are side characters except Sakamoto, how come Shin is getting more fleshed out when he and Lu are equally Sakamoto's allies in helping him fight against assassins?
| @CocoJaypee No, not at all, I like Lu as well. if that is what you want, then say it and don't hold back, that is what the forum discussions are for. I'll fully support your personal opinion to have a side character have more time. That's actually quite unique in my experience in the forums so far, at this point. Hm.... Shin reads minds, both the Male MC's, Lu's, and everyone else's, except the MC's wife 😅, that is literally the only reason why he has had more screen time, his ability can be used more often in the story for comedy and serious moments. Lu's is a great character, I agree, so I'll root for more screen time too. 😁 |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating. |

| @CocoJaypee yep, typical twitter mental illness at it's finest. i'm done with this thread now because you've just proven my point that you're a mindless repetitive echo chamber, thanks for the help. 👍 and the empty vessel below continues to be an empty vessel for eternity lol keep proving me right. |

| Well....since there are two characters listed as "Main characters" and they're both male, I say shes sidelined from the start :) Don't make stuff up. Show isn't about Lu is all ^^ There are plenty of female Leads in Anime, if you want that. Sakamoto just isn't one of these Anime xD and that's fine |

Main or not she's still part of the main cast right? You're telling me that between her, Sakamoto, and Shin, she's the one who's underdeveloped? The female character in a male dominated show?
| @CocoJaypee Yes....the lead, who's male, will dominate the Show xD I know it's crazy.... |
|
| Anime should of removed her, she's the most boring unoriginal character even the manga didn't manage to make her interesting and her whole storyline got resolved in the episode she got introduced in. It is baffling that they didn't cut out her ''Killing your enemies is bad so I'm gonna let this obviously evil man who ruined my life and is going to try to kill me again live'' speech. It's so out of place for the manga and anime and then Sakamoto agrees with her and thinks about killing Shin for wanting to kill the guy. The author was probably drunk when writing her character and the chapters she's in, explaining why her quirk is being drunk. |

Well then I guess Sakamoto Days is another shounen anime that fell into the pitfall of underutilizing their female characters 🤷
| @CocoJaypee Exactly. It's Shonen-Anime. |
|
| Sidelined? Yeah, but I'll take it over her only function in the story to be sexy all the time while being sidelined like other shounen |
Reply to CocoJaypee
Yeah but there are some shounen anime that managed to succeed with this. I just wish Sakamoto Days was the same
| @CocoJaypee I doubt the writer even attempted to do this, it might have crippled the work to implement a gender quota for equal screen time. |

Hold on a minute, double standard! Don’t you remember we just had an episode with Sakamoto and Lu fighting while Shin just lay strapped to a table? If you love Lu that much (and I do btw) write some fanfic with her as main! I’m sure there’s already lots of doujin about her, but I don’t need that and don’t want to know…
CocoJaypee said:
Well I'd argue that Lu can also make the fight scenes interesting thanks to her drunken martial arts fighting style
But the one time she used the skill so far only lasted a few minutes, while Shin had a whole episode to his fight. That's a little suspicious don't you think?

Yes that's exactly the scene I'm talking about. Her fight only lasted a few minutes while Shin had a whole episode to his fight with that poison guy
Granted she did save Shin, but how come she didn't get the same treatment as Shin as to how her fight played out?

Nevertheless Shin still had a more detailed and exciting fight with the poison guy and even had a little bit of character development along the way, whereas Lu's fight....

I don't think that's a good reason for Lu having shorter and less exciting fights when she shares the same goal as Shin in helping Sakamoto fight against assassins

| This is for sure a retarded thread. |
CocoJaypee said: I don't read the manga so I don't know what will happen but from the first few episodes I have some suspicions that this will be another shounen show where the main female character, in this case it's Lu Shaotang, gets sidelined. During the amusement park arc, Shin got a whole episode fighting Tatsu while Lu only got a few minutes fighting Obiguro. Then in the latest episode she didn't even participate in the paint ball tournament The anime is called Sakamoto Days Sakamoto is the MC, it is his story The other characters, as important as they may be, are supporting characters in his story And yes, Shin, who's known and admired Sakamoto since before the series even began is a more importand character to his story (to the point he's considered more of a co-lead than a supporting character) than Shaotang who he just met and still has to get to know her, no one is being sidelined and this has nothing to do with the character's genders |

| The mc is a dude so it is similar to Gintama in that regard. Some females are combatents. |
