It's a well-known fact.
Xian Yu, Chu Kuang, and Shadow are the Three Bros.
This was something Shadow himself admitted during the pre-release interview for "Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma".
They do not pay attention to other celebrities or peers, only to each other, forming a perfect cycle. Therefore, netizens often tease their relationship.
But...
Even though the trio's focus is interconnected, for a very long time, everyone's attention was completely focused on Xian Yu and Chu Kuang.
A well-suited phrase to describe Shadow's state would be: The excitement is all theirs, I have nothing.
Just as there's always a "transparent" member in many groups.
Xian Yu of the South, Chu Kuang of the North.
Even though Shadow had a good relationship with the two, he seemed to be like an overlooked outsider. Netizens who paid attention to all three simultaneously often joked about him being:
Invisible.
This was tied to their individual accomplishments in their respective fields.
