After having a quick nosey around both Wikipedia and my anime list at an attempts to find out what could cause him to be the emotional brick he is, I stumbled across this interesting quote.



Although I guessed that would've been the case, i was wondering if anyone else knew (that would make me starting this topic 10x more awkward) and how you think the character development will be done based on that.

I think it's obvious. Bad eggs from Mars murdered his parents.

This had no means to be a troll thread, my guess is you probably knew already, I'm actually wondering how they'll go about it, that's all

I really hope they go with the Bad Martian Eggs idea -- it would completely change my ratings on this show from a 5 to a 10.

It that's the case, I have 2 speculations:
- The death of his parents was a shock for him, which made him like he is now.
- He will lose his sister too (what is likely to happens next episode, based on what we see in the PV), and he will change somehow.
He is not normal. A normal child doesn't have both his parent dead.
I don't see why is the egg fetish worth mentioning (except for feeding the trolls) :/

Honestly, the entire "Egg fetish" thing seems like a poor attempt to humanise his poorly written character (or lack thereof).

Now, allow me to explain for a moment: one of the first things you're supposed to do when writing up important characters is that you're supposed to give them quirks, in order to make them more memorable and seem more believable as human beings, as opposed to being flat, one-dimensional, plot-moving devices (a la Steven Moffat). This isn't me making up shit, either -- it's one of the basics they teach you in any script/fiction writing class.

With Inaho, it feels to me as if they were in a meeting one day, when someone pointed out "Hey, he doesn't have a quirk. What did you have for lunch today, Urobuchi-san?"
"I had omu-raisu"
"Okay, Inaho's quirk is that he likes eggs."
Now, I don't know if it went down like this, but that's for sure how it feels to me.

tl;dr -- there's probably a reason they wrote his egg-fetish in, even if it's a really bad one.

Hmm, so you are keeping in mind the silly text written on MAL? I adore your imagination though.
All your comments makes me feel like you are holding a grudge toward Inaho. It's just episode 5/24, give him some time to develop.

It's even on Wikipedia too, I couldn't help but laugh a bit. I do feel your comments above could happen, losing his sister will, in my eyes be a real true test of his character, as well as the writing of it.

I'd be happier to see him have a past where he was a happy child and he's mentally scarred due to the parents death, but only time will tell I guess

Everyone could edit Wikipedia. It's not an official source. Some silly dudes may read MAL and added that on wiki. OR it may be the opposite. A silly admin read that on wiki and add here.

The pajamas refers to the reactive armor. Just a bad joke there. Blame the writing.

A joke or "pajama" is a funny reference used by students for the reactive armor. You know students like to use cute nicknames.
Even that, using nickname in time like that is a joke itself.

Oh... I would've never guessed that he reffered to the armor.

When did he like eggs again?

ALso, a typpical anime protagonist only has his mom dead, so yeah... Not the typical protagonist

Is not in the Japanese Wikipedia, neither in the offical site.
Fake info is fake, probably made by a troll.
