It seems we have an edit war on our hands. About whether a guy counts as "gentle".

Yup. The item in question (with one version of the write-up), under Hinokage Kuudou:

  • Gentle Giant: He's huge but an extremely friendly guy who reserves his power for protecting the school.

According to Arha and Clarste, the argument for removing it is that he's not gentle. "One of his regrets is that he uses violence as his first resort to resolve conflicts. He;s nice to his friends but merciless to his enemies, and it doesn't take much if anything to provoke him (he attacks Kumagawa before even talking to him)."

According to blueflame724 and presumably Solomontastic (the troper who added it), the argument for keeping it is, well, the context provided, and that the trope does not necessarily mean one is averse to violence.

Please discuss the entry here and do not continue to Edit War.

(As someone unfamiliar with the series, I don't know whether he fits, and cannot decide between the arguments.)

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I'm totally unfamiliar with the series but it sounds like he might be more of a Bruiser with a Soft Center.

Are we still at the point in the series where Shiranui Hanten is a spoiler? The only reason I can think of why is because he's a member of the Shiranui clan, but that's moot as of the latest arc. I'm pretty sure he was introduced at the same time Ajimu was, so having one spoilered and the other not seems pointless.

Removed them, but his description could use some updating.

I know there's a lot of them, but are the Committee Chairpeople getting a section at all?

I think they should and in my opinion the Jet Black Wedding Feast should be renamed The Kurokami Group/Family or something. It's mostly just people from the sub families and the Jet Black Wedding Feast sounds weird. With that we could also move Maguro and Kanome while adding Fukurou, Kajiki and Hato.

  • I Got Better: All Fiction's default ability, even when Kumagawa would wish otherwise.

I Got Better has been renamed to Unexplained Recovery. This example doesn't seem to fit the current trope definition. Leaving it here for someone who can verify it.

There is a proper explanation within the series, so removing it is correct.

So now that the status quo has been changed by the latest arc (specifically there is now a new student council) should we change the character list?

I don't see why we should. Kumagawa's been in the student council for a while now and he's still not listed as a part of it. All but one of the characters in the new council are already represented in other sections anyway.
