So I know Spotted Flower existed before Nidaime (at least I think so anyway), so the author just put Hato in after Nidaime started?
I always thought Hato was a response to Wandering Son and the author wanting to do their own riff on that, but to hear it just sort of fizzles makes me even more sure that he was just trying to follow a trend rather than tell a story. lol
Yeah, he first appeared in Spotted Flower a year or so after Nidaime began, iirc.
That wouldn't surprise me. He's thoughtfully developed (surprisingly so) throughout the majority of Nidaime, but his conclusion gives the appearance that it was all for show.
