I'm extremely impressed by Haiji. I can't remember the last time I saw a character command a show so strongly and charm, influence and inspire almost every other character in the story while showcasing so much development himself. He had been planning this entire journey for years hoping to grow and overcome the suffering his injury caused him, in a way that he could prove his strength not only as a runner but also as a person.

I can't help but think he's one of the best anime protagonists I've ever encountered, even when he had to share screentime with Kakeru, who is also a protagonist, and everyone else in the team, who gets characterized meticulously and incredibly well.

What are your thoughts on this? How do you feel about Haiji and how do you think he compares with other main characters you love?

I don’t remember that much of the show as I watched it like an year ago and haven’t rewatched it. But I remember how taken back I was by this character. The fact that he was able to bring a team together based on people that didn’t even want to do the sport it’s just fascinating. The way the writer developed his chacrter as a whole just makes you question how. In a show where I genuinely believe everyone on the team are a main character, the way Haiji was able to share screen time but also be a presence all the time is just amazing.

(aot spoilers ahead) it made me feel the same way about how I felt with Marco. Even after dying Marco was a constant presence showed in Jean’s character development.
