Bobby is very upbeat and even though she lost her duel in this issue, she isn’t letting it keep her down because he knows he’s improving.
I also really enjoy Bobby, who seems to be Nicholas only real friend at this school right now. I do think there is more to him than what is being led on at this moment. We don’t know much about Seiji outside of some surface level stuff such as his dad being a great fencer too, but perhaps Seiji has some motivation to be the best due to his family’s legacy.
The thing about Nicholas though is that he isn’t even an all-around likable character, he has some selfish motivations while the man he chooses as a rival may be a jerk, Seiji shows that he is just as serious about this sport with the constant training he puts himself through. Even with that though, he is still recognized by his coach and by the arrogant Seiji that he does have something going for him in the sport of fencing. I would say the best thing about this is how Nicholas isn’t exactly written as a prodigy but just a guy that is trying and has a lot of self-doubts. If you’re not familiar with Fence by now, it’s a sports comic with a little bit of melodrama. In Fence #4 Nicholas is setting up to have his first match at the new school as he trains to earn his spot.
