Sure it depends on the game, but somebody with enough skill and experience could make some destructive plays using the Void element correctly. It will rely on the stats, and, IIRC, some skills that increase the element's power. I'd say it would make up for the loss of the advantage (most of the time). But I get what you mean.

Eh, reasonable. But I'd like more if he's either Wind or Earth. Wouldn't complain, tho.

Yeah, that's likely, he could get a nice development if Endou (if it's him) is his teacher or something, and later Noboru ends up getting better on his own, creating his own techniques, etc. Kinda lika Tachimukai. But I think Endou came up with Megaton Head during the Aliea Arc, so maybe he learned it during some unknown point in the Ares timeline. It's mostly based on experience with playing the games. The skill "Muzokusei" was really useful in the original trilogy because the elements were quite powerful, so having the skill to nulifly them really helped the playing field.

The GO series is the reason why Void became double-edged sword because they don't cancel the player's element when matched against the opponent's element. Instead, the void element is now part of the waza group which lowers it's powers considerably. It was still useful and it had a lot of cool wazas but it's often more preferable to simply stick with the same element/waza/Keshin.

Honestly, it's not like it matters because the anime follows a different logic than the games so elements isn't really at play. Also, there is no telling if they would actually include the Void element in Ares (but I hope they do, because it's pretty cool.)

You know what, I agree with you on Haizaki being Earth type because we rarely have any main Earth forwards at all. (Kurama was one but his Sidewinder never really did anything.)

Yeah, It would be better for Noboru to get his own waza rather than copying Endou's. My bad.

Speaking of Tachimukai, I wonder if in this universe, Endou actually learned Mugen the Hand instead of Tachimukai. I doubt it as Level 5 would probably give us a new hissatsu instead of reusing an old one.
