The lack of appreciation for Uzu Sanageyama💔
So one of my moots on here which is @klkingmybrain was talking about how people in the Klk fandom don’t really care about the story and more so only talk about the same 3 characters which are satsuki, ryuko and mako. No hate to them but i totally agree with her on that..A lot of you fawn over them when Uzu or even the whole elite 4 is literally right there. So I’m going to emphasize and talk about how yall neglect the fact that Uzu is a very important character to the story and embodies self growth and improvement. And I’m not just gonna yap about him being funny I’m genuinely going to talk about how his character actually matters and he’s not just there to goof off. Which is something some of yall sweep under a rug unfortunately…
————————————————————————-
FIRST OFF in episode 6 when he first asked satsuki about fighting ryuko she questioned him and then she goes on to say that he’s the same way he was like 3 years ago. And then she even tries to stray him away from offering to fight Matoi by asking “what if you lose to her” but instead of backing down he was persistent respectfully.
—————————————————————————
Here’s a clip showing this!! (I had another one but I can only post one…):
Then after this he fights Matoi and Satsuki purposely doesn’t show up because she knows he’s gonna lose. Once he lost he didn’t just get upset he genuinely took it personally and changed himself for the better and for his own growth and improvement like I said before.
—————————————————————————
Him being “overshadowed” in his own episode..
Due to him realizing this faults he makes a big change by asking Iori (a legend btw) to sew his eyes shut. Shiro hesitated and said that he couldn’t use his powers without seeing anything but once again Sanageyama was persistent on doing this since he thought he “relied too much on his eyes” during his fight. After allat shiro agreed and then Uzu’s eyes were sewn shut. And the reason why I say that he was overshadowed in his own episode is because the fact that they literally had him on his knees BEGGING satsuki for a second chance in the RAIN which I think is ridiculous. I get why they made him do that.. They wanted to show how devoted and loyal he really is to her but I feel like they kinda humiliated him in his own episode by doing this to him.
Here’s a pic of him begging 💔🥹:
I really wish instead of them making him change for Satsuki’s forgiveness they leaned it towards him trying to fix himself for his OWN gain since he realized his mistakes and wanted to take full accountability for them by humbling himself and “going blind”. I do respect that choice in writing but they could’ve made him do allat more independently. He also kinda took his anger out on Matoi before the fight by saying “I’m gonna show you what happens when you force a man to change” and he was visibly upset and annoyed during his whole fight. He was literally about to beat Matoi but Ms Main character had 1000% plot armor on so Uzu’s goku uniform “overheated” which made him “lose” but I think he won since 1: ryuko got nervous when fighting him and 2: because he was WHOPPING HER BADDD!! 😭✌🏾
—————————————————————————
Uzu being nerfed and tossed to the side in later episodes
After his episode and him going blind they made him lose repeatedly to Nui and satsuki but satsuki more so in the 25th Ova episode which I’ll leave a link for so yall can see the whole fight. They just tossed him to the side and basically humiliated him AGAIN. And they did this by making Nui rip the life fiber out of his goku uniform and knocking him off a cliff BUTT ASS NAKED when she interrupted his 3rd fight with Matoi.
And here’s the link to Uzu and Satsuki’s fight in the 25th episode:
Uzu genuinely had so much potential but they just HAD to dumb him down for no reason at all. And then then even made him say a stupid ass line (it was lowkey a lil funny tho) and Nonon and Houka got mad at him since he didn’t wait for them to say it with him…
Here’s a pic of the scene:
Matter fact he literally was grasping and holding his potential and then the writers just ripped it out of his hands. TBH all of the elite 4 had potential too but since the show is about ryuko they’re like side characters to her which sucks because Uzu,Houka,Nonon, and Ira are all interesting characters and even Shiro too since he makes ALL the damn clothing for the students. He needs more appreciation too he works HARD and barely gets praise in the show AND IN THE FANDOM..They all do especially Uzu he literally does kendo in and out of his goku uniform and that’s why he was the CLOSEST AND ONLY member out of the elite 4 to get REALLY CLOSE to beating ryuko. My goat could’ve been sooo much more after his own episode but no💔
—————————————————————————
Uzu being the Strongest out of the elite 4
ALSO!! One of the reason why uzu is the strongest out of the elite 4 is because during the sudden death runoff He had the HIGHEST pillar and was the last person to fight Ryuko. He even got upset when he was going last and said “shit I kick too much loser ass.” He beat up the most students during this event. Houka then said “you’re fighting style is more effective than you thought”
Here’s a pic of that scene:
And Here’s some pics proving that he had the highest pillar:
Pic of uzu’s pillar being higher than Nonon’s:
And an arrow I drew pointing at uzu’s pillar:
And when ryuko almost lost to jakuzure Uzu said “what the hell are you doing Matoi. You can’t lose to her. You and me got a date for a fight. I’m the one who’s supposed to kick your ass.”
Here’s a pic of him yelling allat:
Also during the runoffs the order they went in (which was weakest to strongest) was Gamagori, then Inumuta, Then Jakuzure , and Lasty Sanageyama.

Anyways I didn’t just make this post to completely baby Uzu or anything since I’m fully aware that he’s an 18 year old high schooler but I just wanted yall to know that he is more than a stupid monkey and that he’s genuinely a VERY good character and even a good person since he was helping all those students extra to get them out of Ragyo's COVERS. Fuck he’s even the kindest character right next to mako and her mom. He’s not just some cocky dude he’s an AMAZING character and I love him and respect him sooooo much.. Also I made this post so I can show some of these gooner fans of ryuko and satsuki that there’s more characters than just them. There’s plenty that yall need to focus on aswell besides the sisters and the famous coconut head mako (which I love no shade). All of the elite 4 is right there. Shiro is there. Aikuro is there. Tsumugu with his needle gun thingy. YALL LITERALLY HAVE ALL THESE COOL CHARACTERS BUT DONT GIVE A SHIT I DONT GET IT. Also gooning to these ladies and gents lowkey means that yall didn’t understand the message in this show unfortunately so yall need to rewatch it… unless if you did get it and do that then whatever at least you’re aware of the message.. also I DO NOT PLAY about Uzu AT ALL..!! HE IS MY GOAT😭❤️🩹
anyways I’m done ranting and yapping!! Go follow my awesome moot @klkingmybrain btw!! 😋💕
—————————————————————————
That’s all I have to say!! Thanks for reading if you actually cared and once again I love UZU SANAGEYAMA AND ALL OF THE ELITE 4!! 🤫🫧
(Btw I’m throwing all shade at some of yall because the double standards in this fandom with characters is so fucking annoying!! And if you get mad at this post I AM talking about YOU..I just had to let yall know🤗💚!!)
