Yeah, it's true that some divisions have done little. The First, Fifth, Seventh and Eighth companies are the ones that have been more fleshed out. I don't remember much about the other companies, especially the Sixth and the Second ones, so Okubo should take this as an opportunity to give them more screentime.
One thing that I find interesting is that even though we're near the endgame, we still barely know something about the Evangelist. She hasn't even uttered a word. I'm expecting the villains to get a lot more of screentime and exploration, especially now since it looks like this is the final arc (it looks like he has already started this with Sho).
I still think that with the way Nakaba presented the story initially, it had a lot of potential (more than Fire Force's from my perspective) but it didn't end well. NNT was a lot of wasted potential if I had to say. In contrast, Fire Force's plot is pretty interesting in itself but has a slow start unlike NNT but gets better the more you read IMO (unlike NNT which gets worse the more you read overall). Overall, if Fire Force keeps the quality as it is now, I think it will end up being better than NNT (especially better than those last 60-80 chapters). The fights are good, the characters and their abilities are interesting but some of them could be fleshed out better, the tension and the plot twists too are well done for the most part.
I think that's the different between ff and nnt
In nnt nakaba went out of ideas very quickly and at some point you could see like the brain washed plot twist 2-3 times then it became the obsession oh god!!!!
How many times he made people to get obsessed by something at least a good 4-5 times.
Like grey d hendrickson = brainwashed
Dreufys obssesed by fraudin
The margaret obsessed by rueodecel
Meliodas and zeldris obssesed by dk
Like all his arcs had at least a brainwashed person or an obsession that's is a clear sign the dude was out cold of decent ideas
Then he establishes one thing that laters one that thing is totally forgotten
At least ohkubo has better build up plot skills also no matter how much you try you will barely find plot incosistencies like if ohkubo establishes something
then he either follows the end without suddently to get memory problem and totally forgets what he introduced 5 or 10 chapters back.
The only problem of ohkubo was the slow start of the plot like if you go and check soul eater it ended in 113 chapterds i think so he was get used to a much faster plot so i think in like the fist 30-40 chapters he fell in the super slow trap of it.
The early fights are not that good not until you get to the 1rst nether arc we get decent fights.
Also another problem is he introduced to make characters and which the majority of them have asthetically cool designs but before developing them and showing them more he introduces more of them.
