I agree that he was not derailed. Whomever says this clearly does not know what the word derailed means.

He should feel a way about Sky by Hurl and Go Seek, but she has said many times that she is not interested in a romance, and wants to focus on the game. She could still be attracted to him, but she said no, which is all that is needed. It is kind of like someone kissing one another, and someone tries to go to the next level, but uses the excuse "they liked it", though the person said no. No means no, and he did not get that.

He is seen as the "normal one" in his team (though it is clear he is not), but when it came to him constantly complaining about his team, it would be one thing if he was of use to his team, but he sucked completely, never really helped much, and when he did help, it made things worse, so it is like someone who sucks whining about his sucky team.

There is also a difference between being a hopeless romantic, and being obsessive, creepy, and somewhat possessive with an infatuation. Being a hopeless romantic does not give you the excuse to act like an entitled, rotten, ingrate when things do not go his way.

In my opinion, he is one of the trash characters to come from the cast.
