Added DiffLines:

** Hideyoshi "Chimp" Sarutobi and Kai Mikawa. Sarutobi's development was completely lacking (and is only in this series to irritate the viewers), and Mikawa's refusal to accept that he can never be with Sun, and his attempts to bribe others, [[spoiler:not to mention his fraudulent death campaign in episode 24]], don't make for a likable character. And the duo's relationship doesn't help much, either.
