Well, he doesn't have to actually join the revolution to fight for the right thing - after all, his duty includes protecting civilians, and while it was rushed through in the anime, it made sense for him to do what he did. Yes, he did stay on the Empire's side to help rebuild it - I think it's a fitting ending for him.

And yeah, Wave having the sense of duty/responsibility is another thing that puts him above Tatsumi in my eyes. As to Syura fight, he still wanted to beat him up before Budo allowed him and after his victory, so it's not like he is perfect in that regard.

In any case, I'm happy to actually be discussing AgK for a change, lol. Do you know any communities that are still active? All forums I usually went to are pretty much dead.
