...go to hell, and take your stupid obsession with J with you. just because he's your favorite doesn't mean he has to be everybody else's, you boisterous oaf.
for me, who payed attention and took in all of the parts of the series instead of fanboying over a single character, Masato was a million times better than J. for what I saw, J's only good qualities were how much he cared for Masato and how much he wanted to protect the forests, but those aspects were barely explored because most of the time he was too busy being a selfish moron
as for Masato, he had some real depth. yes, he was cocky and boastful, but he was also both smart and wise. at first, he had to shoulder how it was most likely that Hiromu and Yoko couldn't save their parents, and so he pushed the three to become stronger. then later, he had the burden of keeping how his body was slowly losing data from the others. on top of that, just by fighting as an avatar, he was risking chances of coming back with every fight. yet despite that, he really contributed a lot, especially in the development of the Buster Machine combinations. he also grew to really care about Hiromu, Ryuji and Yoko, as they came to care about him. this finale really showed how far he had come, with him being willing to sacrifice all data so that the nigh-unstoppable Enter could be defeated once and for all, and had what he had what it took to motivate the others to keep fighting even though when it was all over, he'd be gone.
all that, is why I think Masato is better than J, but I don't go ranting about him every time I talk about Go-Busters, becuase he's not the only important character, so freaking lay off is somebody else likes a character more than your favorite character
