Ahh inferiority complex, don't you love to see it? In some way I relate to Zanka a lot, I know some people find it ridiculous the reasons he chose the stick but honestly I would do the same. You can honestly pick up on his personality in some episodes, it's subtle but it's what made him HIM. I gotta give props to the author to be honest, Rudo and Zanka feel so human and I can see myself in them. That aside the new character in Zanka's backstory is actually really cool. I mean someone from such a background can become such an exceptional student is actually really inspiring.
