...I've been wondering about that myself, anon. He's pretty damn broken at his current canon point however (stuck in the Rinkane prison, if you're curious) and so the last thing he wants right now is more needless fighting that he can't win. Literally within two episodes he's Gurren's pilot, so he's damn close...

And I am trying to make a point of him being gruff but oddly polite. Remember, however, that he was also helping humans because of the imbalance of Simon's government just before this. In a wierd way? The Malnosso are not dissimilar from the conditions of his world.

Thank you for pointing that out, however. That's been the first real crit I've recieved during my time here. Do you have suggestions on how I can balance this better?
