Why?

Did he died?

People die when they're killed anon.

aniki?

He was basically the Obi-wan of the series

and Obi-wans tend to die

His death was the catalyst for all important character development in the series. Plus, he was a reckless idiot and was bound to bite it eventually.

The writer really liked Ashita no Joe. And just like everything else him and the director liked, they blatantly rip it off shot for shot and called it an homage.

Before creation, there must be destruction

It's like Gainax is full of otaku who loves putting random pop-culture references into all of their anime.

Every important moment of this series was ruined by Imaishi's obnoxious ADHD directing style.

TTGL gets kinda more egregious with its "homages". They always filled every show with references or their backs but so much of TTGL just feels too 1:1. That's why you have stuff like that interview where they straight up called imaishi out on how much of a Getter Robo knock off it was.

Shit character anyway

>>148502638
Because.
