Everyone else knows something about microbes. Everyone else knows about Sawaki’s secret power. Oikawa knows nothing about anything. She’s out of place in every single scene that has anything to do with microbes, not to mention all the other scenes she screws up because she’s an annoying bitch.
Her only reasons for existence are showing us how Sawaki interacts with people unaware of his power, snitching about underage drinking, railing against homosexuality, and being Sawaki’s potential yet implausible love interest in the minds of viewers for the sole reason that there’s no competition in their age group. The show would’ve been better off leaving Oikawa as the the skate fish.
Sure, almost every Moyashimon character sees their stock fall after get overhyped through a gimmicky introduction, but they’re all eventually able to stand on their own two feet as solid characters. Except Oikawa.
Word on the Street:
On the Bright Side:
She wasn’t always a homophobe.
Overall Uselessness Rating:
Hindrance | 7/10 |
Filler | 8/10 |
Talentlessness | 7/10 |
Failure | 4/10 |
Disappointment | 7/10 |
TOTAL | 33/50 |
In the tags, I at first read “moyashimon” as “motorcycles,” obviously determined to read “lesbians, motorcycles.”
A common mistake. I speak from experience.
Oh you just remembered me the crossdressing guy by mentioning Moyashimon.
I’m gonna have nightmares now…:|
It could be worse. I could’ve reminded you of…
Yeah, I never really liked her, either. On the bright side, her rampant homphobia led to Haruka jamming her tongue down Oikawa’s throat.
A scene that would’ve had much greater impact if it hadn’t been spoiled by everyone who’s ever reviewed the series.
In other words, you disliked her so that we won’t have to? Cool – thank you, Baka-san! Life’s too short for shit anime, after all!
(Also, I’m guessing that the person second from right in the second pic down wasn’t fine with beer either, eh…)
Only the character is shitty. The show is so good that it’s pretty good with a no-good character.
Good eyes. You could tell that was a “person” instead of a parade balloon. Few anime are more worthy of the “shows with beautiful women and ugly men” tag.
Thanks for the post. This will help other people understand why I don’t like her from the very beginning. Useless character is useless
She was ok for the three seconds when she was a skate fish. It all went downhill after that.
Pretty much any tsundere. -__-
Tsunderes are the real microbes
I think Oikawa and Sawada would make a pretty cute couple….or would Sawada and crossdresser!Yuki be better? XD
Oikawa also unintentionally kills off those valuable worm/centipede/things. Oh wait, I’m just further supporting your point =D
Definitely should’ve gone with the crossdresser.
Thanks for reminding me. I’ll bump up the hindrance score.
“We two are underage…”
What an effing party pooper.
She does it twice. At least the other time she had the decency to only rat herself out.
Your site has gone downhill! Where are the golden days of even more golden posts such as the Fanservice Bingo?!
Just kidding. Partially. I do enjoy that “Filler” is one of the criteria in your uselessness rating scheme.
Filler was a criterion back in 2007.
BakaRaptor finally watched Moyashimon? Most excellent. Now how about an objective analysis on the merits of leather clad dames explaining bacteria.
I’ll review it eventually. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow…
Just take this for now: ++
Maybe someday.
Gladly accepted.
No young age people tells that they’re underage this time…
Even 14 year old drink beer.
You can be old enough to fight in the military, have sex, and sign any legally binding contract (all at the same time!), but you can’t drink. Politicians need a good ass kicking.
Yeah she’s kind of useless I agree but the show would have been worse without a ‘normal’ person to interact with as you say, so she fills a role within the show.
Good point, ‘normal’ women are hard to find.
