I was hoping that Kaneshiro wouldn't go through with this route but he did anyway. Ness was introduced as the core playmaker of the old Bastard Munchen team, was said to be able to perform plays so insane that it seemed like "magic", and was called the beating hard of Munchen. Despite this, during these past few and his very first chapters Ness hasn't done anything. The way Kaneshiro wrote him is straight up disappointing and it's basically him getting constantly abused, used, and insulted by Kaiser (aside from back when they were actually getting along). Kaiser & Ness as well as Nagi & Reo and the past Bachira & Isagi rs have parallels to each other. It's disappointing to see how badly written Ness is as compared to Reo and Bachira.
Not once did Ness' loyalty waver when it's more realistic for him to slowly doubt Kaiser. At the end, it's the abuser who ends the relationship while the abused victim is left dumb and helpless. It feels as if he just didnt know what to do with Ness' character and his only reason for existing is to be used as a stepping stone for Kaiser. It's disappointing.
