I love that anybody else came out of Heavy Rain actually liking this giant jerkass.

There's so much conflict to play with in how he wants to be the big hero everybody looks up to, but all his instincts are for being the lowest kind of bully. It's really interesting that he could have easily been a criminal or a thug himself, but he chose the cop career path instead. It tells you that as much as he likes power - and he really, really likes power - he also wants legitimacy and respect. So what he wants to have and what he wants to do (e.g. hit people a bunch for pissing him off) are constantly pulling at each other.

It's great to have a punk like Yusuke around, because at the same time as he annoys the shit out of him, he also feels responsible for keeping him in line, since nobody else is doing it.

Oh, there will be terrible dad jokes. Sooner or later. It is inevitable.

Also I love that they somehow became weird friends after one of their first interactions was Blake nearly punching him in the face.

You're really fun to talk to on Plurk too and long story short you rule.
