49- Lechter

The fool who is secretely a genius. That's a tried and tested trope. Olivier is the perfect example of it. So why is it that Olivier is great and Lechter is shit?

Other than the fact one is plotting a resistance against Zemurian Hitler and the other one works for Zemurian SS, I mean?

Well Olivier still works better because when it's time for him to be a genius, he shows. Case in point: the end of SC. And he has all those little scenes showing he understands people and is in control of the situation.

The only thing Lechter ever does is play tag with a bunch of high shool students who wish they didn't have to do that. "But he said what Kloe needed to hear" - you may argue. No, he said 1 or 2 very cryptic and open ended phrases he probably read somewhere and Kloe chose to interpret it as being life changing advice, because Kloe, at least at that point of her life, was a moody teenager (more on that later).

The he appears in the next door, reveals he has been spying for Hitler since back during school and that he's doing it because it's fun.

Can he work as a villain? Maaaaaaaybe. Weissmann is the absolute worst and he's also hanging out in the upper tiers, right? Except I don't feel the game is trying to paint Lechter as a a bad guy? He is the hero of Kloe's story, and it feels like the game wants us to like him. But they botched the job. The dude is just a prick. And now I feel like he will appear again in the future, to be placed in sympathetic positions, and I'm not hyped for that at all.

Dude reminds me of Pariston from HxH, except Pariston works because he is a legit funny troll and he has a group of 10 straight men begging to be messed up with. Lechter's big act of trolling is climbing roofs.

48- Clem

Is a minor character in a story starred by Mary. /thread

47- Dan

Tita's father has one job, to be the balanced member in the family. That makes him boring by default. But sure, he has a heartwarming scene with Tita near the end of the first half, right? Yeah he does. And he's good in it.

But my last memory of him is him playing along to the insanity that is the Agate x Tita shipping. And that sours my opinion of him. Without much screentime besides that, he's not doing great.

The Agategate is here, and no one in this list is safe from its aftershocks.

46- Queen Alicia

45- Albert Russel

I'm letting him pass Alicia because they finally decided to give him a character trait other than plot device, which is that he has a funny rivarly with his daughter. The dynamic works.

Why not higher? Is it the Agategate? Yes.

44- Jill

She was already not great, and now she's a borderline sociopath. Except she has a scene in the end of the flashback where she's questioning why she is always like this, so she decides to make up with Kloe. Does that add up to a positive number? Yes, but not by much, particularly since they come from one of the worst doors in the game. But hey, I'm up for character development, I guess.
