i feel like lot of things people easily miss or fail to do when analyzing ina11 characters is nuance or "these conflicting traits can coexist in the same character" and from observation it often happens due to projecting or biased view..
at which shindou is the main victim of this treatment because everyone remembers his weaker moments when he isn't thinking straight but rarely his kind actions and thoughts (which there are so many)... leading to the amount of mean shindou jokes which immensely pisses me off. if i were to sum it up, shindou is mostly strict when it comes to serious events where things are at stake because it's his role to keep things under control, otherwise he's very gentle to people. strict shindou and nice shindou are two traits of his that coexist, and so is shindou who is taken by his emotions because he feels strongly especially for people he cares for
there's also how kazemaru's breakdown is the part people remember about him but rarely his s1 focus and episode 94... understandably these scenes are the ones that leave impression in people but ina11 (OG and GO specifically) is a series that did a good job giving depth to the characters in off match scenes and more sublte interactions and i wish people take time in thinking about them too
i'm guessing i'm one who takes more time in the off match scenes because i came from slice of life genre and my favorite episode is episode 56 that flies under people's radar when it's very important in the kidou arc. people (and areori writers) forgot that kidou is supposed to stay at raimon for temporary time and S1 ended at him being Interested towards raimon at most instead of being Attached. he just stayed with them in early S2 because the schools are being destroyed and he only decided to stay after sakuma's encouragement
Kidou and endou should have a together moment over being a wifeguy for their partner (sakuma and natsumi respectively)
i like you. have an upscaled inazuma eleven kujimate
