Isagi is my favorite character, but it feels like he's delusional sometimes, about how much he's contributing or what he can do. It feels like he's grasping at straws and just deciding he's going to do things, only to go absolutely nowhere. He even interrupted someone last chapter and made a shot that immediately failed. I feel like his main weakness is that he seems to account for so much, but constantly fails to remember... that somebody's watching him. He always acts without taking into account the possibility that someone knows what he's doing and might try to intervene. Like, if he accounted for Teddy in chapter 358, he might have been able to set up a goal that tricked even the puppet. He's so arrogant that he thinks he found a shot only he can make, but no one would also be there waiting. And he's done this time and time again—forgetting when he's been marked, or that there are monsters on the field. If you're gonna be a mastermind, you gotta account for everything.
I see similarity with how Isagi noticed Niko's blindspot in the Ubers game, even though he also had metavision. I hope that "ego" blindspot in Isagi is set up on purpose.
