Relationships[]

Theodore Glass[]

The two are often seen together. Norman has some respect for Theodore, mainly because the latter is Ashtem, the Snake Pit leader; and that the former is Ashtem’s second-in-command. However, it is implied that Norman isn't completely loyal to him; and chooses to go with his own plans.

Shu Kurenai[]

Norman has a one-sided rivalry with Shu, due to the fact that the latter had stolen his position of strongest Blader in the Snake Pit. He is only interested in regaining the said spot. It had also been known that Norman carefully analyzes him, in effort to take his spot back. After his defeat, Norman seems devastated at his loss.

Boa Alcazaba[]

As they are both Snake Pit Bladers, Boa and Norman share an understanding of their situation and also a goal: to beat Red Eye. Norman also shares some sort of rivalry with Boa, saying that he will defeat Red Eye first. Both of them are critical of Ashtem and talk about this openly.
