I hadn't even considered the seiyuu. Do we want to label seiyuu roles as such or just consider them voice actors as a group? It's up to us.

As for characters...There are always characters who get screen time and lines but who remain Minor Characters. Take Aoba Usami, for example. He, just like Isuzu, had a major episode appearance and major swimming interaction with Momo, even a nickname, but his character development went nowhere. He's still a Minor character. Isuzu had the same screen time and lines and there's no evidence that her characater will ever appear again, except in the retrospective film (maybe). Like Aoba, she's comic relief. Like Aoba, I see her as a Minor Character for the same reasons.

The new ISC members aren't really Supporting Characters, yet, but may become so by virtue of their roles in the story. Ran and Ren Tachibana made multiple appearances and had lines in S1, yet they too, were comic relief so I can concede their being labeled Minor. Isuzu is likable, but she doesn't measure up to the other characters we're including in the SC group. She's similar to Aoba, Ran and Ren. That's why I say we keep her as a Minor Character until she proves to be otherwise. To keep her as a Supporting Character would be unfair to the other characters we've downgraded to Minor status who have played an equal role to hers in the series. If an objective argument can be made in her favor, I'm open to it. Angelle ( Talk ) 12:48, May 28, 2019 (UTC)
