I agree with the little development, but the writing isn't bad, and them characters fast is kind of a shocker. I don't see a lot of Characters dieing as quickly as this. Aside from the older stuff, most things today try to avoid main characters/important characters dieing so...dramatically? I don't know. I like the story so far, but I'm more interested in it because of the little gore they have, and the first episode was honestly a sink for me.
It was explained, and is still mentioned back and forth.
**SPOILERS**
Tatsumi wanted to join the Capital and become a high guard or whatever to help protect his village. He got separated from his friends, and ended up inside the Capital alone. During this, he was invited by Leone to do something, forgot what. (lol) Stole his money, and then ended up on the street. This rich bitch came up to him and fed/housed him, and later found out about Night Raid. He sees his friends getting(got) rekt by her and then slices that bitch in half.
He joins Night Raid later, and changes his goal to getting rid of the corruptness in the Capital. He achieves this by training daily with Night Raid and working to get stronger, later achieving a Imperial Arms. It's deterred from that a little, but it's got the main point still.
