The narrative pivot just happened to fit well with their overall rebellion against established shounen tropes and archetypes. It’s what makes it so enthralling. Something they have thankfully kept in the remakes. It’s a shounen only superficially, it has all the flashy action bits and colorful high tech things, the blank MC, and the harem cast. But then you get to the characterization and dialogue and it’s pure existentialism horror.
