en vbs fans treat kohane like a unit leader challenge (level impossible)
like yeah the main story shafted her. we know it sucks she does nothing. thats only on en though T-T its a mistranslation in the second episode that leaves out how an had almost given up but kohane's determination, despite her social anxiety, lead her to want to continue and it turns the entire thing on its head. thats why an protected her from akitos criticism so much.
like shes not the driving force until later in the events, where she properly comes into her own under taiga. but have you read those events? at the very least read awakening beat and kick it up a notch. hell, it's pretty explicit in burn my soul (an akito event) that kohane is the one calling the shots by this point. she might not be the in-universe face of the group but she is the unit leader for a reason.
some of the best vbs fanfic i have ever read has kohane being a leader, a life raft of mental stability almost, for her friends. let them call kohane when they dont know what to do.
when minori breaks she goes to kohane. that should fucking mean something.
oh and kohane is strong! girl is buff! yall forget! like. i think she could probably take an in a fight (and definatley toya and kotaro. probably not akito though but he would feel so guilty that he lets her win)!! like damn yall really dont care outside of shipping huh. yall dont care that polysquad, at least from kohane's pov, is like. more canon than anhane.
she is the goddamn pillar keeping this unit from falling down and yall act like shes not even relevant. do better.
i couldve made this longer but actually kohane haters dont deserve my shit but i cant be arsed to sumarise all this
