New Ninja is introduced with a new bullshit genetic power
Yodaka kicks their ass with unfiltered autistic savant energy
Repeat

This is what I wished Naruto would have been instead of the bullshit "Your mom and dad were actually goated" and "You're the reincarnation of a demigod" we got.

How long left until we get a full reveal on the handler, I wonder

Ngl the most charming part of the story for me is the dialogue. The idea of a character always available to provide live commentary is so genius. It also helps that Yodaka has very little common sense (and our boi is getting better day by day).

At this point, in the future, even if we get to see the handler's face or not I believe that the author will handle it well. I really like the idea of finally being able to meet them, Yodaka is perfectly able of seeing their face, but the readers will always have something crazy (a bird flying by, a strange light shining through the windows...) come up to cover their face.

The more I see this the more I am starting to doubt that Yodaka is actually an ordinary human who just happened to be ridiculously good at fighting. I wanna know what his backstory is, there has to be something there. Like a science experiment, or an exiled and erased clan, or something. Sometimes part of these stories is to pointedly not have the protagonist have some sort of special past, but Yodaka is really diverging from what I can believably accept as 'yeah he's just a mutant.' lol
Even the glasses dude, who was former squad one and from an anti-bloodline specialist clan, seems to be dumbfounded by Yodaka's talent. He goes past just someone who is gifted and into being a true aberration.

Aoi's obviously very similar to the girl in Yozakura, where she's pretty much just an ordinary girl but her blood can awaken or enhance special abilities. It was kind of high on my suspect list as a reason why she would be so important and valuable.
