Least Favorite Character: Kudou Yuusaku

 

There is a strong competition going among the parents in Gosho’s fictional universes regarding who is the worst parent, but to me, Kudou Yuusaku is also the least otherwise interesting.   The world-traveler thing could’ve been part of an interesting character, but it isn’t interesting alone.  The novelist-who-avoids-deadlines joke is just barely funny, and I’ve seen it done better.  The idea that he might know things about the Black Org from trying to do something after Toichi’s death is actually interesting–but if that’s true then he knows all sorts of things about the people that his son is trying to fight and just hasn’t told him, which is like 800% worse than what’s confirmed as canon.  So, he doesn’t interest me, he let his fourteen year old son live alone, and he thought a fake kidnapping was a valid response to his child surviving a murder attempt.  I do not like this guy.
