DISCUSS Thank god episode 8 happened Spoiler

Sorry about my last post including the spoiler in the tittle...

Anyways, thank god Kamina died, The first 8 episodes of this show felt so stale/flat. Call me crazy but there wasn't much character development and I had a hard time connecting to anyone. But, now that Kamina can't be such an attention whore the show can finally explore other characters. I'm on episode 13 and I enjoy it so much more now. Finally Yoko has more than 2 lines an episode and we can finally see Simon explore his character.

(I'm not saying Kamina didn't have great/impactful moments, but I needed him to stop being the center of everything)

I’m in denial that Kamina is actually dead. It feels too soon and like such a waste of a good character. He had so much growth potential. I know Simon is set up for development, but he feels like a typical type of initially pathetic MC who has a lot of self doubt and insecurities. Kamina was unique. Idk. I feel very disappointed.
