Ah well Shinoa seems to have the tragic fate of a typical shounen protagonist love interest (changing from independent to hanging off the main protag plot wise) Could offer the opposing view, Shinoa remains the capable squad leader, with enhanced Shinoa traits let's call them XD and is leading herself through the story, certainly not 'reduced' to a love interest, if that were a bad thing.

On that, has Mika been reduced to a love interest? Even if so, certainly not a detriment as it shows, same with Shinoa. On Yu himself, he is actually dependant on his squad, or at least some form of backup and that's a good thing! It's established early on that being a sole super powered hero taking on the world by yourself is a sure fire way of exiting the story (not to mention completely unrealistic).

Whoever Yu, any of the characters are, they continue to excel in various ways!
