Blaird is and has always been a more lighthearted character. He's had short simple moments that show what I mentioned before.
He hasnt. He's had maybe 3 good, serious moments at best. All others were turned into jokes.
I like Blaird as a light hearted character but you need to understand that there are moments that BEG for Blaird to get a serious moment. JUST ONE. Im not asking for more than 2 minutes of serious time from Blaird. And it's not Blaird. Sometimes he is trying to be serious and the scenario turns it into a one big joke.
Jokes and comedy are great but give Blaird one or two serious moments when it really counts. 33 and 34 was where it counted.

It's not the whole episode about him because he's not the main character,
He's in every episode, he practically is a main character. But I'm not asking for him to be given an entire episode. No, I'm asking for some good writing that involves him in the episode. That makes him important to the episode. That's all I ask, is one serious moment that makes his existance worth a damn. Takuto shouldnt have been the one to have that damned talk with Aqual. It felt akward. Blaird should have had at least one moment with Aqual to have a serious talk but he didnt get ****.

There are whole eps where you see like 1 minute of Shark who is suppose to be the commander of the team? I don't see how Blaird deserves more attention.
Im not asking for Blaird to have anymore attention than Shark (though he HAS had more attention, just of the comedic kind.). But look at Shark. He's a side character and he gets to have GREAT IMPORTANCE ON THE DAMNED STORY! Your point PROVES MY ENTIRE RANT! >_<
Shark has less scenes than Blaird, but is more important and has many serious moments and character defining moments. He has great interaction with the cast and the characters play well with Captain Shark. They grow through their experience with him.
Blaird didnt get that did he. Im not asking any more than a couple, 2 minute, serious moments from the writers with Blaird. Look at episodes 33 and 34. Take Blaird out. Do it, what changed? NOTHING. The entire two episodes could have been done without Blaird. His existance is POINTLESS thanks to the writers.
You cant say he's not a main character or not important. He freaking started off as one of the main bad guys. He IS important and should be treated with some damned dignity and integrity and the writers show him none.
Is it so freaking much that I ask Blaird have a serious moment in an episode that practically BEGS FOR HIM TO? What Im asking doesnt drastically change the set up of the story or plot. It fits in with it PERFECTLY. Thats why Im pissed.
You have a great moment that begs for Blaird to get involved seriously and the writers **** it up.
Blaird is a great character, he's had a lot of little, tiny moments of character defining and growth. Understanding and he's continually shafted where it truly counts. Episodes 33 and 34 were a hard blow to the character's importance to the series.

Besides as Shougo has stated many times, J-Stunts are terrible suit actors, why flaunt it?
I wouldn't agree. I think the Three Shogun suit actors have done a great job. Not perfect but especially Blaird, Aqual, and Cyclead. They are good actors and Blaird has shown a lot of great moments for being a suit. If they were given the right opportunity they could shine.

When Thundera left, there were scenes where you see him with her shamisen and staring into the lake. Blaird buried Jackall, a man who took him in even though they had been enemies at one point.
1) Turned into a fucking joke. Doesnt count. He never got proper focus on the loss of Thundera. The entire thing was a cruel joke at the expense of Blaird.
2) One of the only few good moments of Blaird. Few. That doesnt mean that he didnt deserve another moment with Aqual in episode 33 and 34.
It's not much to ask that Blaird get decent treatment as a character. All I'm saying is he deserved a moment in these two episodes. That's it. Just a freaking Moment. Im not saying they should have based the ENTIRE episodes around him and only him. Just switch around the roles. Let Blaird have that important "I believe" **** talk with Aqual. Why the **** did it have to be Takuto? Explain that to me. Why wouldnt Blaird have been the better choice?
They are shoguns, Aqual is a shogun having trouble and help. Who the hell would YOU suggest be the one to talk to her and help her? Not fucking Takuto. Blaird should be the one. And he was tossed to the side as a comedic bafoon.
Huzzah!

the franchise is over be happy you don't have to deal with something you think is crap.
Why? That's fucking unfair to throw that at me when Im not even saying the series Sazer-X is crap. I like Sazer-X. I think it's better than Justirisers. Im just saying I wish Blaird got more moments to shine. That's all. Why do you have to turn this into an ugly thing of
"omg if you hate it so much rejoice you asshole". I dont hate the series. Im even more upset that this is the only season we will see Blaird and the writers are wasting good opportunities with the character.
I made no mention that I hated the entire series or franchise, ever. And I'll thank you not to throw that at my face again as I've been a huge supporter and lover of the Sazer franchise from the beginning.
