That isn't regression, GhoulDash. This isn't a Shounen series where the only thing that matters is power levels or who has the strongest martial arts.

The measure of a person's worth isn't solely in how hard they can punch, or whether they have an awesome kagune, or developed a badass kakuja. Too many fans in this series are so obsessed with everyone being super-powerful, while devaluing the characters that have strengths that aren't focused on punching people in the face.

Banjou's strength and focus as a character isn't on being some badass fighter. He is a kind and genuine person, with an incredible depth of emotional strength and an ability to inspire trust from others. Like I said, when brute force failed to handle Centipede, what got through to him was Banjou's compassion. His ability to recognize Kaneki's pain and address it.

He got followers not through being a tough guy, but because people trust him.
