We have a member of the supporting cast. They're important to the plot. Although, like any other minor character, they fall [[Out of Focus]] at times. Then comes the sequel, or the adaptation, or [[The Movie]], and... hey, where'd they go? They weren't completely written out, but they just weren't good enough to keep what importance they had in the original. The character's fanbase will complain, and everyone else may just accept it as the status quo. It's sad.
Line 114:
* Loads of characters get demoted to extras in the ''[[Future GPX Cyber Formula]]'' series, starting from Johji Otomo, who can rarely be seen or heard after Hayato gets his Super Asurada 01 until the last four episodes, and eventually he [[Put on a Bus|retires from the Cyber GPX for good.]] The ''SIN'' OVA have many characters get demoted, especially [[The Ace|Randoll]], thanks to Hayato and Kaga's [[Super Mode]]s, with them [[Curb Stomp Battle|curbstomping]] their opponents left, right and center.
** This also happens in-series during the second half of the TV series when [[Tall, Dark and Snarky|Naoki Shinjyo]] is demoted after his boss [[Rich Bitch|Kyoko]] made a secondary team of Aoi Formula, Aoi ZIP Formula and made Bleed Kaga as the new team's driver. Kyoko herself gets demoted to vice president when Aoi Formula and Aoi ZIP Formula are merged into one team and the team chooses [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Kyoshiro Nagumo]] as the new president and Shinjyo was subsequently fired from the team. Needless to say, both of them are less than happy about the news.
* ''[[
** She actually gets more screen time than any other character besides Touma, she just doesn't get any action scene so many people fail to notice since that is all they pay attention to. May be part of the reason why [[Action Girl]] Mikoto is so popular.
** Index ''does'' get quite a few action scenes, just not big fights. And Mikoto doesn't get that much action anyway (In her spin-off, maybe, but in the parent series she rarely goes beyond beating [[mook]]s, and often offscreen at that).
