** Byakuya himself tends to verge on this, thanks to his {{Jerkass}} demeanour being dialled UpToEleven while being forced to weild a massive IdiotBall. Making things worse that, where in the main series Togami's behaviour nearly got him killed and lead to him [[TookALevelInKindness becoming less of a prick]], here he's praised constantly by the main narrator and rarely suffers repercussions to borderline GodModeSue degrees. The fact that he's infamously OutOfFocas does not help.
** The entire Togami family (with the exceptions of Asagao and arguably Shinobu) have become somewhat hated by fans thanks to being a bunch of RoyallyScrewedUp one-note {{Flat Character}}s who mostly just push the characters fans actually care about. Many accuse Yuya Satou of making the entire family into one giant CreatorsPet.
