He was an actual character in the first series. He had that same strong moral drive Mikan did and does just as much around the house and for other people as she does. He even rushed an alien trying to kidnap Lala even though he assumed it was stronger than him. It made sense that they were siblings even if he takes more after their dad. He feels like a protagonist at least. In Darkness he's just a vehicle for ecchi gags and nothing more.
