On Roy Alphard (aka the unloved shitter)
>The illustrator fucked up and drew Lye in the side story where Roy eats Julius’ brother. Tappei later leaned into that fuck up in a Tanpenshuu volume and wrote Lye eating Joshua instead, robbing Roy of one of his only achievements.
>Gets benched in arc 6 after being off-screened.
>the volume 25 illustration gives Lye the same hairstyle as Roy
>The illustrator makes a huge poster celebrating S3’s announcement one that just copy pastes Lye’s expression and hair onto Roy (pic related)
>The BD box art once again copy pastes Lye’s hair onto Roy
>Gets off-screened and benched again
>When he finally gets to fight, his power is trivialized by Petra of all people
>Also well before that shit happened Tappei tweeted that he likes Roy more than Lye and that his writing decisions were made with that in mind….yet still had him gigajob.
Genuinely do not understand what Tappei was thinking or how this jobbing piece of trash was ever a part of a certain character’s ‘plan’.
