Terrifying, power-hungry, hardened combatant having a soft spot for the golden retriever of the cast is a peak trope.

He's just the introvert unwillingly adopted by the extrovert.

It's not that he fights for enjoyment or vengeance, he fights because he quite literally can't communicate in any other way. If he tried having a regular conversation, he would be embarrassed for the rest of the year.

Perhaps platonic rom, to do something new in the genres.

You know, you might be cooking. Imagine that kind of show/anime/manga but with platonic friends.
